TrailChirp Diary is a mobile web app for hikers and nature lovers who want to capture, organize and revisit the sounds they encounter on outdoor routes. The app lets you record birdsong, water, wind and other natural audio with a simple Recorder interface that can tag each file with GPS location and timestamp. Recorded items—called chirps—store a title, location, sound file, recording date and optional notes so you can catalog moments from every outing. TrailChirp Diary also helps you explore past hikes by replaying sounds, viewing routes and pinpointing sound hotspots on a map.
