One of you snores, and by morning nobody agrees who. Wakira works for couples, with two phones: in the morning it shows which side of the bed the snoring came from. It won't guess or blame anyone, and it never compares who slept better. It only works if you both want it: you both sign in, and each of you decides what to share.
Which side
Each phone listens on its own side of the bed. A snore is put down to one side only when it was clearly louder on that side's phone and that person's device shows they were asleep at the time. Otherwise it says "can't tell".
In the morning it reads something like this: snoring came mostly from your partner's side, 9 times out of 12.
What woke you
If your device shows you woke in the night, and a sound from the other side came that minute or the minute before, you'll see it in the morning. It says only what happened and when, never why, and never whose fault.
What this phone sendsFour switches, and only what's on is shared.Example data
Each of you chooses
Each phone has four switches, all off to start: "That my night is being measured", "Sounds of my night", "When I woke in the night" and "My next alarm". Only what you turn on reaches the other phone. Recordings, names, email addresses and heart rate never do, and the name you give your partner stays on your phone.
To tell which side the snoring came from, both phones need night sounds on and shared. To tell what woke you, both phones need that too, and you need a device measuring your night.
A code for the other phoneOne code, good for one use.Example data
Linking and unlinking
You link once: one phone shows a QR code and a short code, valid for fifteen minutes and for one use, and the other phone scans or types it. You both need to be signed in.
Either of you can unlink at any time. Unlinking deletes everything that was shared, on both phones and in the account, and you each keep your own nights.
A gentler start
The first one up doesn't have to wake the other. When you both share your next alarm and one rings more than twenty minutes before the other, Wakira suggests letting the earlier one start softly and build over half a minute.

Wakira isn't on Google Play yet. Until it is, we're looking for testers with a phone on Android 12 or later to try it first and tell us honestly what's missing.
