Do you start snoring when laying on your back or chest? Or do you snore when sleeping on your side? This app will notify you in case of a possible snoring event by vibrating the device. Just put your iPhone in flight mode, turn off WiFi and strap the device on your chest before you go to sleep. In the morning all possible snoring events will be listed, with the possibility to play back the recording if the microphone was enabled. All recordings will stay on your device until you reset the snoring event log. SnoreBuzzer is not a medical device, nor is it intended to replace professional modical advice and/or diagnosis.

SleepCam is a private camera that runs while you sleep. It takes one low-resolution photo at the interval you choose (1, 2, or 5 minutes), optionally records audio, and lets you replay your night as a fast-forward timelapse with a scrubbable photo + audio timeline. Built around three ideas. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No servers. No accounts. No analytics. Photos and audio live only in SleepCam's private container on your iPhone. The app never sends anything off your device. The only way data leaves SleepCam is when you explicitly tap Save to Photos or Share. WATCH YOUR NIGHT UNFOLD After a session, scrub through the photos with audio playing in sync. Jump to the start or end, advance by photo or by 15-second skip, and pinch through the night at speeds up to 2000× — an 8-hour sleep replays in about 14 seconds. EXPORT AS A TIMELAPSE One tap creates a 15, 30, or 60-second video of your night, optionally with the wall-clock time stamped on each frame. Save it to Photos or share it anywhere. APPLE HEALTH (OPTIONAL) Connect Apple Health to overlay sleep stages from your Apple Watch — Deep, Core, REM, Awake — directly on the photo timeline. SleepCam reads only; it never writes to Health and never transmits the data anywhere. PERFECT WITH A DEDICATED SLEEP-AUDIO APP Already using SnoreLab or another sleep audio tracker? Turn SleepCam's audio off and we'll only capture photos — leaving the microphone free for your other app.
