Owl Sense Studio is free passive acoustic monitoring and bioacoustics software for organizing, analyzing, reviewing, and exploring wildlife recordings.

Import recordings from Owl Sense, AudioMoth, Swift, and any other recorder. Run AI species detection locally. Review detections alongside audio and spectrograms. Explore when and where species were detected—all in one application.

From recordings to results

Passive acoustic monitoring can generate thousands—or millions—of audio files. Owl Sense Studio helps you make sense of them.

Analyze

Run automated species detection directly on your recordings using supported AI models, including: BirdNET and Perch

Process individual recordings or entire field deployments without uploading your audio to the cloud.

Review

Quickly move through detections using built-in audio playback and spectrograms.

Filter by species, site, date, and confidence to focus on the detections that matter.

Adjust audio gain, noise reduction, filtering, and spectrogram settings while reviewing recordings.

Explore

Go beyond individual detections and see what happened across your entire deployment.

• Species detected at each site
• Detection activity over time
• Daily and hourly activity patterns
• Species occurrence across recording sites

Your recordings. Your computer.

Large acoustic datasets don't always belong in the cloud. 

Owl Sense Studio analyzes recordings locally, allowing you to work directly with recordings stored on SD cards, external drives, local storage, or network storage.

Built for passive acoustic monitoring

Whether you're monitoring a backyard, surveying an endangered species, or managing recordings from dozens of field sites, Owl Sense Studio provides one place to manage the workflow.

Researchers

Process large deployments and quickly explore species activity across sites and time.

Wildlife professionals

Review detections and investigate recordings without assembling a custom analysis pipeline.

Conservation organizations

Turn long-term acoustic monitoring projects into accessible datasets.

Naturalists

Explore the wildlife recorded around your property or favorite places.

Use the recorders you already have.

Owl Sense Studio isn't limited to Owl Sense recorders.

Bring recordings from popular autonomous acoustic recorders or import standard audio files from your own recording system.

Already have years of recordings?

Bring them with you.

Designed alongside real field monitoring

Owl Sense Studio is developed alongside the same passive acoustic monitoring work that drives the development of our field recorders.

The goal is simple:

Spend less time managing files and more time understanding what's out there.
