Mochi Snore
Leave the phone on the nightstand and tap start. In the morning Snore tells you how much you snored, how loud, and when — and lets you play any of it back. One tap before bed, no account, nothing to configure.
A score out of 100 so nights are comparable, how many times you snored, how long for, and the loudest moment. Then the shape of the whole night, with every snore marked on the timeline and an hour-by-hour breakdown of when it got worse.
Each one is kept as an offset into the night's recording, so you can tap any of them and hear it with a second of context either side. Sorted by loudest, or in the order they happened. This is the part people end up showing someone.
Last night on its own tells you very little. The main screen carries the last seven, so a change you make has somewhere to show up.
Tag a night in a second — late meal, a drink, on your back, blocked nose, nasal strip. Once there are four nights with a factor and four without, the app puts them side by side and tells you the difference in your own snoring, rather than what is supposed to help.
A phone microphone is not a sound meter, so the app shows an estimated decibel level, says so where the number appears, and gives you a calibration slider instead of pretending. The score compares your nights to each other and is not a health score.
Recording keeps going with the phone locked, and the screen dims itself after twenty seconds. It works with no signal at all. Audio saving can be turned off entirely if you only want the numbers.
Snore is not a medical device. It counts and measures snoring; it does not diagnose anything and it does not detect sleep apnoea. Loud, frequent snoring with pauses in breathing can be a sign of it, and that is worth raising with a doctor rather than with an app. The app says the same thing in its own Settings screen rather than only here.
Nowhere. Audio stays in the app, is excluded from iCloud backup, and is deleted with the night it belongs to. There is no account, no sharing and no ads. The app does report anonymous usage counts — how many snores a night had, how long it ran, which parts of the app were used — and with no account there is nothing for them to be attached to. The privacy policy sets all of it out.
