Illustrative audio examples, made for this page, not recordings of anyone's night. None of them is evidence of a breathing pause.
02 · Timeline
See when the sounds happened.
Explore your night on one timeline, with sound markers you can tap and replay.
- Sound activity
- Snoring
- Sound to review
- Not recorded
Example night from 22:46 to 07:12: two snoring episodes, sleep talking, one sound to review, a cough and a door; 15 minutes not recorded around 01:30; sleep stages from an example Apple Watch night in Apple Health.
Sleep stages here come from an example Apple Watch night in Apple Health; the microphone doesn't measure them, and without Apple Health the timeline shows sounds only. Sounds and stages share one time axis for context: a sound next to a stage change doesn't mean one caused the other.
03 · Compare
One night is a snapshot. Patterns take time.
Compare snoring, nighttime sounds and how you feel across multiple nights.
A few nights are a start. Patterns get clearer as you record more, and a difference from one night to the next isn't a trend, or a medical change.

Why record
What happens while you're asleep?
Snoring and other nighttime sounds can go unnoticed. Recording them gives you a chance to hear what happened.
- SnoringWhen it started, how long it lasted, and how it sounded.
- Audible breathingGasps and loud breaths, saved as sounds to review.
- Other nighttime soundsTalking, coughing, a door: what happened, and when.
Loud snoring and nighttime gasping can be symptoms of sleep apnea, although snoring alone doesn't mean someone has the condition.

Sleep awareness matters beyond the night.
Sleep apnea can affect daytime alertness and is associated with other health concerns. Recognizing symptoms can help you decide when to seek professional advice.
This is general health information from the National Institutes of Health. The app records sounds; it doesn't assess your health or your risk of any condition.

What audio can show
Real recordings. Clear limitations.
iPhone microphone
Recorded sounds
Clinical sleep evaluation
Additional physiological measurements
Audio recordings cannot confirm breathing pauses or diagnose sleep apnea. Can an app detect sleep apnea?

Private by design
Your nights are personal.
- Sleep audio is analyzed on your iPhone.
- Recordings, reports and your answers are stored on your iPhone and kept out of iCloud and device backups.
- Apple Health is optional, and only read.
- You choose how long audio is kept, and can export or delete it at any time.
- The app has no analytics or advertising, and doesn't upload recordings or Apple Health values.
- Apple and Superwall process what a purchase needs: device details and purchase information, never your recordings or sleep data.
More context, when you want it.
Connect Apple Health, if you like, to see sleep stages, heart rate, respiratory rate and supported breathing-related measurements next to your recordings.
The app records sounds without Apple Health.
- Sleep stages
- Heart rate
- Respiratory rate
- Breathing disturbancesOn supported Apple Watch models
Optional and read-only: Apple Health asks which readings to share, and you can change that in the Health app. The microphone doesn't measure heart rate, oxygen or breathing pauses.

Questions
Can this app tell me if I have sleep apnea?
No. It records and plays back sounds, and it can't diagnose sleep apnea or rule it out. A clinical evaluation, often with a sleep study, is how sleep apnea is diagnosed. If you or someone else notices loud snoring, gasping or breathing that seems to stop, talk to a healthcare provider. Your recordings can help you describe what happens at night. More in can an app detect sleep apnea?
What kinds of sounds can it record?
Snoring, sleep talking, coughing, breathing-related sounds such as gasps and audible breathing, and other noises in the room, like a door. Apple's on-device sound recognition labels them and can get a label wrong, so every saved moment is there to listen to. Speech is never transcribed. See what it hears.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. Recording uses your iPhone's microphone. Sleep stages come only from Apple Health, so they need a device that writes sleep to Apple Health, such as an Apple Watch.
Is Apple Health required?
No. Connecting it is optional, and the app records sounds without it. If you connect it, the app only reads the readings you allow, and never writes to Apple Health.
Are my recordings uploaded?
No. Sound is analyzed on your iPhone and recordings are stored there. There's no account. Recordings, reports and your answers are kept out of iCloud and device backups, so a new iPhone starts without them. They leave your iPhone only if you share or export them. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
What happens to my recordings if my subscription expires?
They stay on your iPhone. Recording and the reports need an active subscription, but you can still export your clips and full-night recordings as audio files, or delete them, from Settings, Storage & Privacy.
Can I export or delete recordings?
Yes. Export Recordings saves a copy of every clip and full-night recording as audio files, with or without a subscription. You can delete one clip, one night, older audio, all recordings or all sleep data. Audio is kept for 7, 30 or 90 days, or until you delete it; bookmarked clips and the reports stay.
Will recording work while my iPhone is locked?
Recording is designed to keep going while the screen is locked. If sound stops reaching the app, for example during a call, the morning report marks that stretch as not recorded rather than counting it as quiet. Keep your iPhone charging overnight and don't close the app from the app switcher.
Does it record people sharing my bedroom?
It can. The microphone hears everyone in the room, so a partner talking in their sleep may be recorded too. Let anyone who sleeps in the room know, and follow the rules on recording other people where you live.
Is recording free?
No. Recording, the morning report, the sounds, trends and sleep sounds need a subscription. Plans and prices are shown in the app before you subscribe. The health information, your privacy settings, and exporting or deleting your recordings stay free.
What iPhone versions are supported?
An iPhone with iOS 17.6 or later.
