A snore recorder that keeps your clips on your phone unless you choose otherwise

Most people find out they snore from someone else, over breakfast. With night sounds on, you can hear for yourself what went on in the room: snoring, sleep talking, any sound that broke the quiet. It's a recording, not a test. It tells you when there was snoring, not why, and it diagnoses nothing.

What gets kept

While recording is on, the phone's microphone listens and keeps only short clips of sounds that clearly rise above the room's steady background, like an air conditioner or a fan. Each clip is half a minute at most.

Nothing is kept before you fall asleep. If you unlock the phone in the night, the microphone switches off, and comes back on only once your device shows you're asleep again.

Sorted in the morning, on your phone

In the morning the phone sorts each clip into snoring, talking or other noise, keeps the clearest one from each stretch and deletes the rest. All of it happens on the phone; nothing is sent away to be sorted. The timeline shows when each sound came and how long it lasted.

And a night with nothing worth keeping? It just says "a quiet night", and how long the microphone listened.

How do I know if I snore?

The simplest way is to listen. After a recorded night you'll see whether there was snoring, when and for how long, and you can play the clips. So you can find out even if you sleep alone.

If snoring keeps coming back and it bothers you, talk to a doctor. Wakira only records; it doesn't diagnose.

Your clips leave the phone only if you choose

Recording is off until you turn it on. Clips are left out of Android's own backup, so it won't copy them to a new phone. A clip leaves the phone only if you share it yourself, or if you switch on backing up the night's recordings to your account, where they're kept for thirty days, as on the phone. That switch is off to start with too, and the app never nudges you to turn it on.

Turning recording off stops the microphone straight away and, after you confirm, deletes every clip, on the phone and in your account. One more thing: a microphone in the bedroom hears the whole room, so tell whoever sleeps beside you.

Sharing a bed? With two phones you can also see which side the snoring came from.
