SnoreSettle listens to the room on your iPhone or iPad. When it hears a run of snoring, it plays a short, soft sound. In the morning you get a report of the night. Audio and reports stay on your device.
The beta is free. It needs Apple's TestFlight app on your iPhone or iPad.

How it works
It waits for a real run of snoring, then plays one short sound.
One snore does not start a nudge. SnoreSettle checks the room about once a second and acts only on a pattern.
0 s30 s60 s90 sNudge 1 · 40%Nudge 2 · 50%3 snores within 30 s15 s recheck60 s with no snoring: the bout ends and the tries reset
Start at bedtime
Put the phone near the bed and tap Start. Nudges begin only after the start delay, so you can fall asleep first.
It listens on the device
A sound model on your iPhone or iPad checks the room about once a second. Audio is held in memory for about 40 seconds and then dropped.
It nudges on a run
Three snores within 30 seconds make a snoring run. SnoreSettle plays a short sound, then listens again before it tries once more.

Apple Health
Snoring over your sleep stages.
Connect Apple Health and each report shows snoring on top of your Awake, REM, Core and Deep sleep, with the share of sleep that SnoreSettle heard as snoring.
Optional, and read only: SnoreSettle writes nothing to Health
Sleep data is read on the device and stays there
Clips
Hear what it heard.
SnoreSettle keeps one short clip for each snoring episode, from about 10 seconds before the first snore to 15 seconds after the last. It never records the whole night.
Waveforms, play, pause and resume
Mark a clip "not snoring" if the sound was something else
Select several clips to mark or delete them together
Your speaker, your volume
Play nudges on the built-in speaker, or pick a Bluetooth or AirPlay speaker. If that speaker drops out, nudges move back to the built-in speaker at your volume.
Settings you can feel
Set sensitivity, the start delay, the recheck time, fixed or adaptive volume, a maximum volume and the tries per bout. Preview each sound before you sleep.
Truthful about gaps
If a call, an alarm or a lost microphone stops listening, the report shows the gap. Time without audio never counts as listening time.
Respects the room
Setup asks you to get consent from anyone else who sleeps in the room. SnoreSettle hears any snore in the room and does not identify who it came from.
Plain words
Every screen uses short, plain sentences and scales with Dynamic Type, up to the largest accessibility sizes.
Reset any time
Put every setting back to its default with one tap. Your reports and clips stay.
iPad
Made for iPad too.
On iPad, SnoreSettle uses a sidebar and side-by-side views, so the report list and the night you pick sit on one screen.
Privacy
Your nights stay on your device.
SnoreSettle has no account, no server and no audio upload. The sound model runs on your iPhone or iPad.
Audio is analysed on the device. The last 40 seconds or so are held in memory only, then dropped.
Clips
One short clip for each snoring episode is saved on the device. Nothing else is recorded. You delete clips when you choose.
Reports
Saved on the device when you tap Stop.
Apple Health
Optional. Sleep stages are read on the device. SnoreSettle writes nothing to Health.
Sign-up
None. No account, no email, no ads and no tracking.
SnoreSettle is experimental. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat any condition, including sleep apnoea. If you are worried about your snoring or your sleep, talk to a doctor.
Roadmap
What comes next.
The next update is built and in testing. Everything after it is a plan, not a promise, and has no date yet.
Next update
Episodes first in reports
Reports show snoring episodes first and fold one-off snore sounds into one row, so long episodes stand out.
Snoring time that counts breaths
Short quiet breaths between snores join into one stretch of snoring, with a "Join snores within" setting.
Clips by session, and sharing
Clips group by session, newest first. Share one clip, or several, from the Share sheet.
Planned
Apple Watch app
Start, stop and see last night from your wrist.
Watch complications
Last night's snoring, or the listening time, on your watch face.
Exploring
A wrist tap first
A gentle tap on the wrist before any sound, with the sound only if the snoring goes on. We are checking that the watch can do this on time at night.
Later
Scheduled sessions
Start and stop listening at set times.

Design concept
SnoreSettle on Apple Watch
An early design for the watch app: the listening time, the snoring so far and a Stop button for the iPhone session. The final app can look different.
2. Install TestFlight from the App Store if you do not have it.
3. In TestFlight, tap Accept, then Install.
The beta is free. To send feedback, take a screenshot while you use the app, or open TestFlight and tap Send Beta Feedback.
Does SnoreSettle record the whole night?
No. It holds about 40 seconds of audio in memory while it listens, and drops it as it goes. It saves only one short clip for each snoring episode. You can delete any clip.
Does any audio leave my phone?
No. SnoreSettle makes no server request and uploads no audio. There is no account. When clip sharing comes, a clip leaves the device only when you share it.
Will it wake the person next to me?
The nudge is short. With Adaptive volume it starts low and goes up only on the next try, never above the maximum you set. You choose the tries per bout. Monitoring only mode plays no sound at all.
Can it tell whose snore it heard?
No. It detects snoring from anyone in the room. Ask everyone who sleeps in the room before you use it.
Does it work with the screen locked?
Yes. Start a session and lock the phone. The Live Activity shows the listening time and a Stop button. Keep the phone on a charger for a full night.
Can nudges play on a Bluetooth or AirPlay speaker?
Yes. Pick the speaker in Settings. If it disconnects, nudges play on the built-in speaker at your volume.
Do I need Apple Health or an Apple Watch?
No. Apple Health is optional, and adds sleep stages to your reports. The Apple Watch app is on the roadmap.
Is it a medical device?
No. SnoreSettle is experimental. It does not diagnose or treat snoring, sleep apnoea or any other condition. If you are worried about your sleep, talk to a doctor.
