It keeps the moments, not the whole night
Hoot listens all night but only keeps the passages where something happens. The result: a few megabytes, and only the interesting bits to replay.
iPhone app
Your night, finally heard.
A lot happens while you sleep: snoring, mumbled words, unexplained noises. Hoot catches those moments and plays them back in the morning.

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: your sleep data never reaches any server.
So, what happens while you sleep?
People say you snore? No proof. Woken at 3 a.m. by a noise? Mystery. Tired in the morning? No clue. Until now there was no way to know for sure: you were asleep.
What Hoot does while you sleep
It recognises what it hears
Snoring, talking, coughing, farts, heavy breathing, other sounds: every moment is labelled on its own — by its rhythm, then by its timbre. Hoot got it wrong? 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 proof.
It estimates your sleep stages
Awake, light, deep: your iPhone computes an estimate. With a smartwatch and Hoot Pro, Hoot reads your real stages from the Health app, cross-references them with the sounds — and that is what unlocks your night score.

Your nights stay on your phone.
Your audio clips and history never leave your iPhone. No account to create, no data resold. Only three things go through outside services: checking your subscription, anonymous usage statistics, and looking for fixes to install. Never the sound of your nights. 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. The label corrections you make also stay on the phone; sharing them is a gesture only you can make.
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. Note that real stages and the night score need two things: the watch, and a Hoot Pro subscription. The watch alone is not enough — worth knowing before buying one.
Does it drain the battery?
A night of listening with Hoot 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.
