## What is SleepRec?

SleepRec allows you to record the sounds that are emitted during the night while you are sleeping. It is possible to listen to the recordings of the previous days, in order to also check the intensity of the recorded sound.
In the statistics menu, by choosing a date you can view a graph that indicates the maximum level of recorded decibels (also with the appropriate description at the top of the vertical bar), during a certain time (specific description at the bottom of the vertical bar)
There is also the possibility, from a smartwatch, to add the factors (drinking water, eating, physical activity, working hours) that can affect sleep and then view them from the app.

## Key features

- Record nighttime sounds
- Listen to past recordings
- Analyze sound intensity statistics
- View decibel level graphs
- Track sleep-affecting factors from smartwatch
- View sleep factor correlations

### 5/5 — Amazing dev team!

*2026-08-12*

Completely free, no ads, just exactly what you’re looking for, no strings attached. Phenomenal! We need more companies and people like this!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the nice review, I have been working alone in my spare time for years on the development of SleepRec, out of pure passion, receiving nice reviews like yours gives me great gratification, thanks

### 5/5 — Feature request

*2026-07-23*

Ciao Joe! It would be nice if I could recategorize recordings. I found some speech that the AI labeled sneezing. Thank you for such a great app!

**Developer response:** Thanks for using SleepRec and thanks for the nice review, in the future I will try to make this change, thanks

### 2/5 — No

*2026-07-22*

It’s dumb how it can’t record if your phone is off. I can’t help that my phone shuts off by itself and I’m not gonna have my phone on all night anyway. Just dumb. I think that’s something you guys should fix. Sorry if I came off as rude <3

**Developer response:** The problem with SleepRec not working if your phone is turned off isn't a SleepRec issue; no app can work if your phone is turned off. I hope you'll reconsider your review. SleepRec is a free app I developed out of passion, and negative reviews that aren't related to SleepRec really hurt me.

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение!

*2026-07-13*

Записывает все звуки во время сна, классифицирует по типу (храп, чихание, кашель) по уровню звука от низкого до громкого. 
Перепробовал кучу приложений, это - лучшее.
Без рекламы и дополнительных покупок. 
Джованни, спасибо!

**Developer response:** Спасибо за использование SleepRec! Я разрабатываю это приложение с любовью в свободное время, и такие отзывы, как ваш, помогают мне ещё усерднее работать над его улучшением. Спасибо, что уделили время и написали этот приятный отзыв.

### 5/5 — Muy bueno

*2026-06-10*

Me encanta 👏

**Developer response:** Muchas gracias, me alegra que te guste SleepRec. Desarrollo esta aplicación por pasión en mi tiempo libre y es agradable saber que se aprecia.

### 4/5 — I don’t snore!!

*2026-06-07, version 5.5.0*

I have used this app as a way of knowing why my sleep patterns are so erratic, I wake up many times a night and I have sleep apnea and insomnia, I also know I snore but not a loud freight train but a gentle purr, I have also been talking in my sleep which is quite funny to listen too. Overall a great easy to use app.

### 5/5 — RV

**Developer response:** Great for using SleepRec I'm very happy with the good review, keep following the app soon there will be new features

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2026-05-05, version 5.5.0*

I use this every night and I find it funny when I hear myself, thanks for making it free it’s really hard to find stuff like this free now adays!

### 5/5 — Wow. Just wow seriously

*2026-02-23, version 5.2.0*

Honestly, 10/10.

A completely free app. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases. It’s clean, well designed, and very easy to use. The AI automatically sorts recordings by sound type (snoring, talking, sneezing, and more) and does all of that completely FREE.  YOU DONT EVEN NEED TO REGISTER ANYTHING

It genuinely gives me hope that there are still great developers out there who care more about building something useful than just making money. This app deserves to be trending.

I honestly don’t understand how it only has 14 reviews.

### 2/5 — confused

*2025-10-18, version 4.5.5*
