Can't concentrate?

restless sleep?

mysterious smells?

wildfire risks?

Blizzards?

A pulsating laser specifically exciting carbon dioxide molecules and a microphone detecting the resulting acoustic waves is some of the precise, Swiss, engineering magic which allows for extreme miniaturization without sacrificing performance. 

The Canary is able to graph the concentrations of CO₂ with enough resolution to count the number of people in a room. You are even able to tell if an adventurous mouse has entered your bedroom while you were away!

A pair of calibrated lasers, a silent high speed fan and perfectly laminar air flow is why the Canary measures particles with incredible accuracy and speed. In almost all cases, the Canary will detect smoke faster than your nose.

For the first time ever in a consumer product, an accurate ultraviolet sensor correctly calculates the sun's intensity. All phones, watches, gadgets and gizmos have used regular light that we can see (380 nm to 750 nm) to incorrectly estimate a UV Index. The Canary only looks at harmful 240 nm to 320 nm wavelengths of radiation, those responsible for burns and wrinkles.

Never again will you be misled by weather forecasts which average very large areas, which estimate radiation based on cloud cover or which assume everyone has equally insensitive skin.

A hot day can feel even hotter and a cold one can crack your skin like a desert, all thanks to humidity. Dust mites, mold, fungus and mildew love spreading out in moist environments. While itchiness, soar throats, viruses and bacteria thrive in dry air. You might even get zapped by static   electricity!

Sudden shifts in pressure are reliable weather predictors. An increase typically signals sunny days, while a decrease forecasts rain. Always make sure to check the Canary's graph to help you decide if you need to take an umbrella.

Headaches and joint pains can also be provoked by the weight of the atmosphere above your shoulders. The chart will encourage you not to worry since all trends eventually reverse, bringing back pleasant comfort.

Airplane Mode will turn off the antennas and stay extra vigilant for drops in pressure. On a plane, air can simply leak out, causing you to fall asleep. The Canary will yell as loud as it can when it senses danger, so you can alert the pilot!

We’ve all felt this: you’re sitting in crowded lecture hall or a packed conference room and after a while you start feeling drowsy, dull, lethargic. When we’re in an enclosed environment, there often isn’t enough fresh air to dilute the CO2, letting it build up in our blood, reducing the amount of oxygen that reaches our brains. This increases sleepiness and anxiety, impairing critical thinking without us even realizing. 

That’s where Canary comes in, continually displaying a day of CO2 concentrations. So when you feel you’re just not able to understand a chapter in a textbook or you can’t come up with the next lyric for your upcoming hit, you can glance at the screen and quickly notice that it’s not your fault.

Interestingly, indoor cafes have excessively high levels of CO2 due to roasted coffee beans, making them the worst places to study or to work out complex problems.

Always listen to local alerts and forecasts. However, recent events have shown it is safer to not depend on others to warn you of incoming perils. An indoor fire alarm is essential to alert you of danger in the next room. The Canary will alert you of danger down the street or even hundreds of miles away. 

Typical frying smoke or neighbouring BBQs last only a few minutes. Impending infernos last longer. The screen will display a continual increase in particulate matter over many hours since the smaller, invisible, odorless smoke particles arrive long before what can be seen or smelt.

Also, use this information to make informed decisions and protect your lungs by not jogging or spending too much time outside during polluted periods. And don't forget to show your neighbours so they too can know that there is a risk to their health or safety.

Do you have the misfortune of living above a cigarette smoker, forcing you to constantly rush to close your windows? Placing the Canary near your balcony turns it into a vigilant sentry which will chirp or light a signal letting you know foul air is on the way. 

Early warnings of irritating pollen and of pungent cooking will help alleviate some of the stresses of urban living. A nice smelling home is a happy home.

Use a journal to track trends. Record when allergy season gradually peaks and then dissipates. Likewise, record the days when nearby industry, such as coal power generators or car tire incinerators, are active. The Canary will help you spot patterns so you can plan ahead for clear skies and happy breaths. 

Not all sunlight is friendly. The Canary measures the specific wavelength of light which burns your skin and hurts your eyes. Even on a cloudy day, it is best to check. Likewise some bright days are perfectly safe to play outside.

UV-B rays cause severe sunburn and are the reason you should wear sunscreen and sunglasses.

While UV-A passes through windows and is great for indoor plants.

UV-C is only a danger to astronauts and martian settlers.

You can use the Canary to determine the direction and location of mysterious smells. In this ultra fast mode, the selected sensor displays a value as soon as it is calculated. This way you can slowly walk around while holding it, keeping an eye on increasing or decreasing values. Steadily you'll reach your destination of a hidden air vent, a delicious forest barbeque or a leaky freezer. And you'll feel like a scientist on an important mission each time!

The Canary is also the most readable desktop clock you will ever own! A subtle six degree tilt angles the striking display for optimal viewing when placed on a desk or on a windowsill. At night, the infinite contrast makes this the only unlit display viewable by moonlight or starlight.

Upload photos via WiFi, BLE or the Micro SD card and display them in elegant monochrome. You can use the Canary's typical newsprint style or a mode with four extra shades of grey. Ask us to send you a fresh AI generated photo every morning.

Or pick a currency or stock ticker, leave your Canary connected to the internet, and watch your profits soar every minute!

Not all protective equipment is created equal. Whether you want to spray paint your car, sand your vintage table or protect your friends from your coughs and sniffles, you need to be sure that the mask you're wearing will filter harmful particles. 

Simply follow the onscreen instructions and wrap any material you wish to test firmly against the Canary's intake and exhaust port. If the ambient air is too clean, quickly light a match or a tiny piece of paper to make some smoke. When the light turns bright green, you can remove the material and the Canary will display the percentage of particles blocked. 

Office life has become excessively sedentary in the past few years. The Canary can be set to give you a friendly reminder as often as you like between any two work hours. This way you'll avoid strained eyes, cramped legs, and a sore bum. You can even add a favourite break song to accompany the dancing reminder.

You can also add custom animations for birthdays, New Years and any other special occasions or important reminders.

While in clock mode or in photo frame mode, you can activate a covert function, locking the Canary until a tap code is entered. Even a secret agent on an impossible mission would be unaware that his breath is being detected. Similarly, you can always know when teenagers are rebelling with smoking and partying.

You can bring your vigilant companion along to exams, chess tournaments, factory inspections, casinos and banks. Everyone will remark on what an elegant alarm clock you have, not knowing that you are mindful of your health and wellbeing. 

If online, the Canary can text you when it detects smoke or email you if your office suspiciously illuminates in the dead of night.
