An open-source visual and acoustic anomaly detector that learns from normal examples and runs locally in a browser or native software.

People monitoring repeatable visual or acoustic processes
Worth noticing
Its own guidance says scores measure unfamiliarity, not fault probability or cause; consistent framing and microphone placement help.

Field notes

The workflow separates collecting normal examples from calibrating a threshold with additional normal observations, then presents live scores alongside visual heatmaps or sound spectra. The page lists version 0.2.0 downloads and model files with license and provenance links; native capture can use FFmpeg, with optional Aravis and GStreamer integrations. Browser capture requires HTTPS and permission, and the tab must remain visible during inspection.
