Sarman listens to your cat and tells you what changed — not what to think.
Most cat translator apps upload your recordings and put the translation itself behind a subscription. Sarman does neither. Every meow is analysed on your phone, offline, with no account and no limit on how many times you listen.
WHAT IT DOES
• Listen — record a meow and see the read: mood, confidence, pitch, roughness. When the app isn't sure, it says so instead of guessing.
• Talk back — tap a phrase and your cat hears a real recorded cat call matched to that intent. Greetings get a chirrup; "dinner time" gets an insistent food-context meow. Real cats, not synthesised beeps.
• Diary — every meow you keep becomes an entry. Over days you get a picture instead of a single guess.
• Trends — Sarman learns your cat's normal and quietly flags when things drift: more vocal than usual, restless stretches, night calls. It never names an illness and never diagnoses. It gives you something concrete to mention to your vet.
• Teach it your cat — label a few of their sounds and the read gets sharper for that individual. Cats differ; a general model only goes so far.
• More than one cat — separate profiles, separate diaries, separate baselines.
HONEST ABOUT WHAT THIS IS
Nobody can translate cat into sentences, and any app that promises that is selling you something. What can be done, and what Sarman does, is measure the acoustics of a meow — duration, pitch, how the pitch moves, roughness, harmonic structure — and map that onto the contexts that research has actually recorded. Sarman shows its confidence and abstains when the signal is too weak to call.
Sarman is not a veterinary device and does not diagnose. If something feels off with your cat, talk to your vet.
PRIVACY, PLAINLY
Your cat's recordings, photos, name, diary and notes never leave your phone. The sound model ships inside the app and runs offline — there is no account and no server to send anything to. One tap in Settings erases everything, for real.
The app does send anonymous usage and crash reports: which screens get opened, whether an analysis succeeded or was rejected, and a stack trace when something breaks. These never contain audio, photos, cat names or notes. That is the whole of it, and the privacy policy says the same thing in the same words.
If you choose to watch a rewarded video, Google receives your device's advertising identifier so the ad can be served and measured; in Europe you are asked for consent first, and you can change that answer later in Settings. If you subscribe, the store receipt and an anonymous install identifier go to RevenueCat so the subscription can be restored on a new phone. Neither ever carries your recordings, photos, notes or your cat's name.
WHERE THE SOUNDS COME FROM
The calls your cat hears are published, openly licensed recordings of real cats, chosen to match the intent of the phrase you tap. Sources are credited inside the app.
WHAT COSTS NOTHING
Recording, analysis and translation are free and unlimited, forever. The part that matters is never behind a paywall, and there is no banner, interstitial or launch ad anywhere in the app.
Part of the chat phrase library is optional extra content. You can open it in two ways: watch one rewarded video for three hours of full access, or subscribe to Sarman Pro (monthly, cancel any time from your store account). Both are optional, and neither touches listening.
