CringeGuard

READY TO SAY IT? CringeGuard is a playful pocket meter for the atmosphere around you. Start a session and watch a retro-style indicator respond to available light, sound and motion sensors, the time of day and session duration. • A live 0–100 environment indicator • A quiet heartbeat-style vibration when the configured calm conditions hold • Pixel-heart visuals and a retro LCD design • English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Traditional Chinese and French • No account, ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases Processing stays on your phone. Microphone audio is processed briefly in memory and is never recorded to a file or sent to a server. On iPhone, the camera estimates ambient brightness without saving images. Language and haptic preferences are stored locally. Missing sensor permissions reduce the available inputs. Measurement stops when the app becomes inactive. CringeGuard is entertainment, not a prediction of romantic success, consent, another person’s feelings, or a medical assessment. A lower score only describes the app’s estimate of the environment. Always respect the other person’s response.

The first release of CringeGuard, with six languages and on-device atmosphere sensing.
