You're home alone, just sat down with an audiobook – and then it starts. Noise. That was clear. Of course. Stopify pauses the playback until the noise stops. Simple to build, simple to configure. Save your nerves and build Stopify today!
Oje, Englisch? Kann ich nicht. Schnell hier hin.
Stopify is an audio analysis tool that connects to your Wi-Fi and Spotify account. While a track is playing, it monitors ambient noise and pauses Spotify playback when specific sound patterns are detected – such as those produced by a vacuum cleaner, drill, or similar. Playback resumes automatically once the noise is gone.
