Record your first night
- Open SnoreCheck and set your phone on the nightstand, plugged in to charge.
- Tap the big record button. The first time, allow microphone access when iOS asks.
- Lock the phone and go to sleep. Recording keeps running with the screen off.
- In the morning, tap stop. Your Snore Score and timeline appear.
Listen and dismiss
Open the Results tab to see every sound clip from the night. Tap one to play it. If it isn't snoring (a fan, a passing truck, the dog at 3 AM), tap dismiss and your score updates on the spot. You can undo any dismiss with one tap.
Trial and unlock
SnoreCheck is free for 7 days, starting from your first recording. After the trial, a one-time $9.99 Lifetime Unlock keeps everything working. There is no subscription. If you get a new phone or reinstall, tap Restore Purchases on the paywall while signed in to the same Apple ID.
Questions
Will recording drain my battery overnight?
Keep the phone plugged in while it records. Recording itself is light, but a full night with the app running still uses power, and charging removes any surprise in the morning.
The score looks too high. Why?
Some non-snoring noise was probably picked up. Open the night, play the clips, and dismiss the ones that aren't snoring. The score recalculates as you go. Lowering the sensitivity for the next night also helps.
How is the Snore Score calculated?
The score runs from 0 to 100 and combines two things: how much of the night you spent snoring and how loud it was. A short but loud night and a long but soft one can land near each other. The bands are Quiet (0 to 19), Mild (20 to 39), Moderate (40 to 59), High (60 to 79), and Severe (80 and up).
One of my nights shows a notice at the top. What does it mean?
If something interrupted the recording, like a phone call or iOS reclaiming the microphone, or if some audio could not be saved, the night shows a small info notice. The rest of the night is still scored; the notice just tells you part of it may be missing.
Where are my recordings stored?
On your iPhone only. Nothing is uploaded and there is no cloud copy. See the privacy page for the details.
How do I delete my recordings?
To remove one night, press and hold it in the History tab and choose Delete Night. To clear everything at once, use Delete All Recordings on the Recording screen. Deleting the app removes all recordings too.
I restored on a new phone, but my old nights are gone.
Restore Purchases brings back the unlock, not the recordings. Because nothing is uploaded, recordings live only on the phone that made them, so they don't transfer between devices.
Can I keep using it after the trial without paying?
The 7-day trial is fully featured. After it ends, recording new nights needs the one-time unlock. Nights you already recorded stay readable.
Is this a medical device?
No. SnoreCheck records snoring and shows trends. It does not diagnose sleep apnea or any condition. If you are concerned about your sleep, talk to a doctor.
