From your first recording to reading a week of patterns.
Someone told you that you snore. Now you want to know how much, how loud, and whether it's getting worse. One recording starts to answer that, and a week of them answers it properly. This guide goes night by night through your first seven, so you know what to do each evening and what to look at each morning, without reading too much into any single night. Keep in mind the app is only listening to sound. It's for your own awareness and can't diagnose anything.
Tonight you have one job: get a clean recording. Five minutes before bed is plenty.
In the morning, tap the same button to stop. That's all there is to it. Getting Started has more on placement and permissions if you want it.
Try for at least four hours in a session. Shorter recordings work, but a full night gives the app more to go on, and you'll get a clearer read on how your snoring changes.
When you stop the recording, Snore Timeline builds a nightly summary. Start there before you dig into the timeline. It gives you the quick version of the night:
Then open the night itself. The main screen draws your sleep as a waveform you can scroll through, and the episode list jumps you to detected episodes so you don't have to scrub the whole night. Want to hear the loudest stretch? Scan the episode list for the highest dB value, tap it, and play. If you'd rather poke around by hand, long-press anywhere on the waveform and it jumps to the nearest episode.
Hearing yourself snore for the first time is a bit of a shock for most people. Note the headline numbers and leave it there for now. One night is one data point, and where you slept, what you ate, or a stuffy nose can swing it a long way. Episodes & Events explains how snores get grouped into episodes (a new one starts after a 30-second gap), and Timeline & Playback covers reading the waveform and playing audio.
The app pays off over many nights, so the goal this week is to make recording automatic. Remembering is the hard part, and a few things help with that:
Keep two things the same all week, so the nights are comparable:
If a recording cuts out overnight, turn on Sleep Focus or Do Not Disturb and close other audio apps before bed, then check Troubleshooting. A short or missed night isn't a problem. Skip that one and keep going.
Once you have several nights recorded, open the Weekly Summary. This is the screen the week was building toward. It's a 7-day overview of your snoring and sleep, compared against the week before:
The comparison is what makes any single number mean something. Your first week is your baseline, which is to say it tells you what's normal for you. After that, a number deserves attention when it moves away from that baseline. On its own, a high or low number tells you very little. A loud night after a late dinner and three drinks is just a loud night.
Your first week has nothing before it to compare against, so the change reads 0% in a neutral color. That's expected. It turns into a real comparison once week two is in. Sleep Score covers the weekly averages and what feeds the score.
You've got a week of data and a habit. Where you go from here depends on what brought you:
Everything runs on your device. No account, no cloud. The Privacy Policy has the details, and the support hub lists every topic if you need a starting point.
