Finch

# Finch — a songbird for your browser

Finch plays short audio cues when things happen in your browser. A tab opens. A download finishes. A page loads. A bookmark gets saved. Instead of checking the screen for visual indicators, you hear it.

Named after the bird. Finches are small songbirds known for their varied, distinctive calls — each species has its own song. This extension works the same way: each browser event gets its own short, recognizable sound.

## Who this is for

The primary audience is blind and low-vision users. Screen readers announce page content well, but they miss the smaller state changes that sighted users catch from visual motion: a download icon flashing, a tab indicator changing, a bookmark turning yellow. Finch fills that gap with short audio cues.

If you're not a screen-reader user, Finch is still useful as ambient feedback for what your browser is doing — handy when pages load in background tabs, downloads run while you work in another window, or you have too many tabs to track visually.
