Four ways to make some noise.
Every announcement goes to the speakers you pick, a group, a room or the whole house.
Push-to-talk
Hold, speak, let go. Your voice plays on the speakers you picked. On Team and Business also live, while you talk.

Sounds and clips
Over 250 sounds from gong to school bell to party horn, plus your own clips, URLs and files. Your jingle, your rules.

Scheduled announcements
Stand-up every weekday at 9:55, the bin reminder on Tuesday night. Set it once, Quak remembers.
mon–fri 09:55
Effects, because why not
Voice effects like robot, helium or megaphone, and backdrops like a stadium or a train station. Serious announcements, not so serious delivery.

made for
From the kitchen to the chain store.
At home
“Dinner is ready!”
One tap and every room knows. The doorbell on all speakers, a wake-up call for the kids, a gong for movie night.
In the office
“Meeting in 5 minutes.”
From Slack, on a schedule or from your CI when the deploy is green. Talk live to the whole floor.
In shops, practices and restaurants
“Checkout three is open.”
Control many locations from one place. Closing time in all stores, the next patient to room two.
Quiet hours
22:00 to 7:00 by default, per weekday. Announcements in quiet hours are skipped and cost nothing.
Privacy first
Quak runs on servers in the EU and stores no texts. The history only shows who announced when and where.
Official Sonos API
Music gets quieter during an announcement and keeps playing afterwards.
Fair credits
One announcement to all speakers costs the same as to one. If it reaches none, it costs nothing.
pricing
Free to start. Pay for what you use.
300 credits to start, then packs that never expire or a subscription from €5 a month with more features.
