## What is MaskAlarm?

MaskAlarm watches your CPAP mask all night and sounds a loud alarm the moment it detects the mask has come off — so you can put it back on and keep your therapy on track.

Prop your phone at the bedside, tap Start, and MaskAlarm uses your camera and AI to check whether your mask is on. If it slips off during the night, a customizable alarm wakes you to fix it.

KEY FEATURES
• Camera-based mask-off detection — no wearables or extra hardware
• Loud, customizable wake-up alarm with gentle ramp-up options
• Optional detached-hose alerts (on + Hose plans) — best-effort extra alerts for when the mask stays on but the hose is unclipped
• Caregiver alerts — notify a loved one when the alarm sounds, by text (US numbers) or through the MaskAlarm app on their phone
• Leaving the bed disarms the alarm automatically; it re-arms when you're back with your mask on
• Nightly AI sleep reports, session history and trends
• A monthly calendar view to help you stay consistent
• Share your progress or send a usage report to your clinician
• A first-night checklist that walks you through setup step by step
• Works with your existing CPAP setup

CAREGIVER ALERTS
Looking after someone else's therapy? MaskAlarm can alert a caregiver when the mask-off alarm keeps sounding — by text message (US phone numbers) or through the app on a second phone. Each caregiver chooses how quickly their own phone is alerted, gets a quiet all-clear when the alarm resolves, and can see a list of every alert received. Turn each caregiver on or off, choose whether the alarm also sounds on the sleeper's phone (silence it for someone in the room, keep it on for a caregiver farther away), and send a test alert anytime to make sure it's working.

FOR CARE ORGANIZATIONS
Facilities can license MaskAlarm by the seat and activate each phone with a simple code — no account or card on the phone. Learn more at cpapmaskalarm.com/for-organizations.

MaskAlarm is a general wellness and assistive alarm. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or replace prescribed CPAP therapy or medical care.

Start with a free 8-hour trial. Keep monitoring with the one-time 7-Day Evaluation or a subscription. Camera images are used only to detect mask on/off and are never stored.

### 5/5 — Very Intuitive

*2026-08-17*

I found it very easy to understand how to use this application

### 5/5 — Solved a critical problem

*2026-08-06*

I have gone for years taking my mask off at night and waking up without it on. This fixed all of that. I wake up refreshed and gladly endorse this app.

**Developer response:** Glad it helps.

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2026-08-05*

My husband, who has sleep apnea and dementia, has frequently awakened in the morning with his CPAP mask off or the hose disconnected.   I was quickly running out of ways to help him use his CPAP consistently—until I came across Mask Alarm CPAP Mask Off Alarm.  The app’s features include, among others, adjusting how quickly a mask removal is detected, sounding an alarm and providing verbal cues to put the mask or hose back on again, detecting when a person leaves the bed and returns with or without a mask as well as the ability to send an alarm to a caregiver’s device through a second paired device running Mask Alarm CPAP Mask Off Alarm in caregiver mode.  As his caregiver, I no longer need to wake up repeatedly to check whether my husband’s mask and hose are still connected correctly.  His CPAP use has become much more compliant and his nightly AHI has improved significantly.  I highly recommend Mask Alarm CPAP Mask Off Alarm to people who have difficulty keeping their CPAP mask on during the night, as well as to caregivers supporting someone with sleep apnea in addition to a cognitive condition.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed review. I'm very glad that this app helps you and your husband get some much needed sleep. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help in the future at support@somexai.com

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.21 — 2026-08-26

- Improved detection accuracy — a mask lying near your head is no longer mistaken for a worn mask.
- Hose-detachment alerts are now included on every plan (off by default — turn them on in Monitoring settings).
- The ready-beep now waits until your mask is fully on before arming.
- Clearer onboarding and FAQs, including accurate alarm timing.
- iPhone: after the alarm stops because your mask is back on, the screen now shows "Mask is On" right away.
- Android: if your subscription ends mid-session, the app now takes you to the plans screen instead of stopping silently.

### 1.0.20 — 2026-08-22

Fixes and improvements:

• The update notice no longer blocks the app. If the App Store hasn't offered you the newest version yet, you can keep using MaskAlarm and we'll remind you later.

• Your night timeline now always shows the mask-off moment that set off an alarm, even a brief one. Before, a short interruption could be smoothed out of the timeline and the alarm was left with no visible cause.

Updating from an older version? MaskAlarm now speaks Spanish — every screen, the FAQ, the guided setup tests, and the spoken alarm cues.

### 1.0.19 — 2026-08-19

The FAQ grew up.

It used to be four questions. It is now 49 real answers with the actual numbers in them — how many monitoring hours each plan includes, what each plan costs, how the nightly score is calculated, how mask-off events are counted, exactly what happens to camera images (analyzed and discarded, never stored), and where everything lives in Settings. It is organized by topic, searchable, and every answer has a copy button so you can paste it into a message to a family member or caregiver.

Monitoring also arms sooner. The alarm can only sound once the app has confirmed your mask is on — that confirmation now typically lands well under a minute after you tap Start Monitoring, and if you get up in the night, monitoring re-arms about a minute after you settle back in. Same checks, same care — just less waiting.

And a small tidy: once every check on Test My Setup has passed, its home-screen shortcut steps aside. It is still in Settings whenever you want to re-run it.

MaskAlarm now speaks Spanish. Every screen, the FAQ, the guided setup tests, the
spoken alarm cues, and your nightly sleep report — set your iPhone (or just this
app) to Español and everything follows, including answers from Ask MaskAlarm.

### 1.0.18 — 2026-08-17

Meet Ask MaskAlarm.

Tap the sparkle icon on the home screen and ask anything about the app in your own words — by typing or by voice. "How do I get an alarm when he gets out of bed?" gets a plain answer that tells you where the setting lives — and shows the actual control right in the answer, so you can change it on the spot instead of hunting through Settings.

It answers questions about MaskAlarm only: settings, setup, plans and pricing, and how to reach us. It works in caregiver mode too, for questions about pairing and setting up a patient's phone. You get 25 questions a day.

After each answer, a quick thumbs up or down tells us whether it helped — that's how the assistant gets better.

### 1.0.17 — 2026-08-16

This update makes MaskAlarm easier to set up and easier to see.

New: a first-night checklist on the home screen walks you through the three setup steps — choose your mask, test detection on your bed, check your room's light — with a checkmark as each completes. It disappears once you're set up.

Better accessibility: VoiceOver now names every control, and the monitoring status, snooze countdown and caregiver alarm text all scale with your text-size setting.
