About Snore Timeline
Who I am, what the app does, and how I write the guides.
Who builds it
I’m Menelik Tucker. Snore Timeline is my independent app, and I design and build both the iOS and Android versions myself. It reached the App Store in September 2025, and I build it alone, with no outside funding and no marketing budget. I also write every page on this site, guides included. Send a question or a bug report and it lands in my inbox. I read all of it.
How the app works
The app listens to your night through your phone’s microphone (or paired AirPods, or another Bluetooth mic) and analyzes the audio right on the device. As the night goes on, it picks out snores, gasps, coughs, sleep talking and breathing, and drops each one onto a timeline you can scrub through and play back in the morning. It estimates sleep stages (Awake, Light, Deep and REM) from the audio alone, with no wearable needed, and draws them under the snoring chart so you can see which stage your snoring clusters in. Snore Nudge can play a sound or tap your wrist on Apple Watch when you snore, and the Smart Wake Up Alarm wakes you in light sleep. Full-night audio comes with the app, and you can export your data as CSV, episode clips or full-night audio. On iPhone, detection runs on Apple’s Sound Analysis framework. Nothing gets uploaded to a server. There’s no account. There’s no subscription or in-app purchase either. If you want the mechanics, read how detection works.
How these guides are written
My guides compare snore tracking apps and show you how to record your own nights. I build one of the apps being compared, so read them with that bias in mind. That’s why every claim comes with a source you can check yourself.
- Every claim links to a source. At the bottom of each guide you’ll find a numbered Sources list, which points to App Store listings, Apple Support pages and published research.
- App Store data carries a date. I re-check privacy labels and prices on the date printed at the top of each page. A privacy label is the developer’s own declaration. I quote it as declared.
- The guides name competitor strengths. If another app does something mine doesn’t, I say so. When mine has its own version of a feature, I say that too.
- Snore Timeline features come from the app. I describe what the app does today, the same way the support center documents it.
- No medical claims. Snore Timeline analyzes audio. It is not a medical device, and it does not diagnose sleep apnea or any other condition.
