Shut Up?!

See if you need to shut up.

Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.

Want to check your speech quality and quantity? Use this app! Based on the Wharton School's world class learnings! Shut Up?! is an opt-in conversation mirror for meetings, dinners, dates, family debates, and every story that somehow became a keynote. Start a session before the conversation begins. Your iPhone processes speech locally, compares your timed word count with everyone else as one anonymous group, and shows the balance across one, five, and thirty minutes, plus the full session. When your share drifts too far, your Apple Watch taps first. If the streak continues, Shut Up?! escalates politely: a Live Activity, then a notification, then one of six dryly funny alarm personas. WHAT YOU GET A live talk-balance tug-of-war One, five, and thirty-minute windows plus the full session Longest monologue, turns taken, interruptions, and your trend over time Readability scores on your own words (Gunning Fog, Flesch-Kincaid, LIX), so you know when you have drifted into jargon Six alarm personas, from The Butler to The Terminal Discreet Apple Watch haptics and a complication Shareable thermal-receipt session summaries A calibration check and a live confidence warning Snooze, mute, pause, and one-tap stop PRIVACY IS THE PRODUCT No audio files are ever created No transcript is ever saved Speech recognition and speaker classification run entirely on your iPhone Other people are never identified or separately profiled Optional sync is off by default and sends numeric session totals only Your words stay in the room. Only the numbers survive. BUILT BETWEEN CLASSES I built Shut Up?! as a Wharton MBA student, mostly because I kept hearing myself talk. The readability and word-choice measures follow the textual analysis material Professor Brian Bushee teaches in Financial Disclosure Analytics at Wharton. Any mistakes in them are mine, and neither he nor Wharton had any hand in the app. THE FINE PRINT Shut Up?! jokes about your numbers, never your character. It is a self-awareness tool, not a recorder, a surveillance tool, or a substitute for professional advice. Everyone in the conversation should know a session is running. That is what opt-in means. Start a session tonight. Find out who the keynote speaker really was.
