Where should I place my phone while recording?
Keep your phone about 1-2 feet away from you for the best results. The closer your phone is, the louder the sounds will be detected. However, placing it too far away reduces accuracy, especially for capturing breathing sounds. Breathing must be clearly audible—if too faint, it cannot be detected. Ideal placement is on a nightstand near your bed, plugged in for charging.
What makes Snore Timeline different from other snore tracking apps?
Snore Timeline focuses on what matters most: a complete, uncompromised view of your sleep. Unlike other apps that use data sampling, our snore recorder with timeline visualization captures and analyzes every sound in real-time. You get an interactive timeline that shows every snoring episode—no shortcuts taken, just meticulous attention to detail.
Does Snore Timeline require a subscription?
No. Snore Timeline is completely free with no subscription required. All features are included: breathing disruption detection, episode grouping, nightly summaries, and data export—no hidden costs or in-app purchases.
Does it detect breathing pauses?
Yes, Snore Timeline detects breathing pauses by analyzing your sleep audio. It identifies extended silent periods (10+ seconds) followed by gasps or recovery sounds. The app marks these breathing disruptions on your timeline so you can see patterns. Note: This is audio analysis only, not a medical device. Breathing pauses may be worth discussing with a healthcare professional.
How accurate is the snoring detection?
Snore Timeline uses Apple's proven sound classification technology to continuously analyze your audio in real-time throughout the night. Detection starts immediately with no calibration or setup needed. The app identifies snoring, gasps, coughs, breathing, and sleep talking by analyzing both the sound patterns and frequency characteristics of each audio segment. All processing happens entirely on your device for complete privacy.
How does the snoring app show episodes?
Snore Timeline is a snoring app that shows episodes by grouping consecutive snore signals together. When snoring is detected, the app creates an episode. If no snoring occurs for 30 seconds, that episode ends and a new one begins when snoring resumes. Each episode displays duration, snore count, and a plain-English summary. This helps you see patterns and understand exactly when you snored most during the night.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. All audio processing happens entirely on your iPhone—no cloud uploads, no external servers, no accounts required. Your recordings stay on your device and only you have access to them. You can export data to share with doctors while maintaining complete privacy.
Can I use it with AirPods or Bluetooth devices?
Yes! Snore Timeline supports Bluetooth audio devices including AirPods, making it easy to record throughout the night without draining your phone's battery.
How much battery does it use?
Snore Timeline is optimized for overnight recording. Most users report 20-30% battery drain over 8 hours of recording. We recommend keeping your phone plugged in during recording for best results.
