About
The problem I had: I like listening to music with noise cancelling enabled in the morning, but I could never actually relax with headphones in, because I'd be half-listening for one of my kids to wake up the whole time. Defeats the point. Half an Ear listens through the phone's mic. When it hears something above the room's own noise floor, it pauses whatever you're playing and streams the room into your ears. When things go quiet again, your music comes back.
AI Summary
Half an Ear is a parenting audio app that pauses music when it detects noise above a certain threshold, allowing users to listen for their children while enjoying music. It uses the phone's microphone to monitor ambient sound and seamlessly resumes playback when the environment is quiet.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
