Many people don't know they snore, let alone how loud or how often. Sleep Island turns your iPhone into a snore recorder: it listens with the mic, records and scores your snoring through the night, and tells snoring apart from sleep talking and background noise — no wearable, no extra hardware.
What It Records
- Audio clips of your loudest snores, so you can hear them yourself
- Sleep-talk recordings, kept separate from snoring
- Hourly distribution, so you see which hours are worst

How it works — and what it isn't
Snore detection runs on your phone, using Apple's SoundAnalysis machine-learning model plus a loudness (RMS) gate — your recorded audio stays on the device. It's good for seeing your snoring patterns over time, but it is a wellness tool, not a medical device, and its reports are not a diagnosis. If you suspect sleep apnea or have heavy, frequent snoring, see a clinician.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is iPhone snore recording?
Snore detection runs on-device using Apple's SoundAnalysis ML model plus a loudness gate, and it tells snoring apart from sleep talking and background noise well enough to see your patterns night to night. It's a wellness tool, not a medical device.
Do I need a wearable or a special device?
No. Sleep Island records snoring with your iPhone's microphone — no smartwatch, band, or extra hardware. Put the phone on your nightstand and it records with the screen off.
Should I see a doctor for severe snoring?
Sleep Island doesn't diagnose anything. If your recordings show heavy or frequent snoring, or you suspect sleep apnea, see a clinician — the recordings can be a useful reference, not a diagnosis.
