Hoot

iPhone app

Your night, finally heard.

You spend a third of your life unconscious. Hoot records the sounds of your night — snoring, sleep talking, noises — and lets you listen back in the morning.

Coming soon to the App StoreNo account to create. No accessory to buy.

How can I tell whether I snore at night?

Put an iPhone running a sleep-sound recorder on your nightstand and start a session before you fall asleep. The app listens, keeps short clips of the noisy moments and lets you replay them in the morning — that is the only direct proof. Hoot does this while keeping the recordings on the device, with no account and nothing sent to the internet.

You have no idea what happens while you sleep.

People tell you that you snore, but you have no proof. You wake up tired without knowing why. Your partner sleeps badly and you cannot tell whether it is you. That blind spot lasts eight hours a night, for life.

What Hoot does while you sleep

It keeps the moments, not the eight hours

Hoot listens continuously but only keeps the passages where something happens. A few megabytes per night instead of several gigabytes — and you only replay what matters.

It recognises what it hears

Snoring, talking, coughing, other sounds: every moment is labelled automatically from its rhythm. When Hoot gets it wrong, you fix it with one tap.

You listen back to your night

Snoring from 3:12 to 3:47 plays back in one gesture, seamlessly. And it can be shared, if you need to prove something to someone.

It estimates your sleep stages

Awake, light sleep, deep sleep: an estimate computed by your iPhone. If you wear a smartwatch, Hoot reads your real stages from the Health app and cross-references them with the sounds.

Your nights stay on your phone.

Audio clips and your history stay on your iPhone. No account, nothing sent to the internet, no data resold. It is your bedroom: it has no business on a server.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hoot record the whole night continuously?

No. Hoot listens continuously but only keeps short clips of the moments where something happens. A night takes a few megabytes, not several gigabytes.

Do my recordings go to the internet?

No. Audio clips and your history stay on your iPhone. Hoot asks for no account and sends no sleep data to any server.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No, Hoot works entirely with the iPhone microphone. And it is not an Apple Watch feature: Hoot never talks to the watch, it reads the Health app. Any watch or ring whose companion app writes your sleep there — Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Oura, Withings, Samsung… — lets Hoot show your real sleep stages, cross-referenced with your night sounds.

Does it drain the battery?

A night of listening uses roughly 5 to 10 % of battery with the screen off. Plugging the iPhone in is recommended but not required.

Does Hoot detect sleep apnea?

No. Hoot is not a medical device and makes no diagnosis. It shows you what it hears and an estimate of your sleep stages. If you are worried about your health, talk to a doctor.

What about the person sleeping next to me?

Hoot records everything it hears, including them. Let them know before you record: it is a matter of respect, and in some countries a legal requirement. Hoot reminds you of this on first launch.
