Don’t want to wear a smartwatch to bed? When Did I Sleep uses motion and activity patterns from your iPhone, along with gaps in device use, to estimate when you fell asleep and woke up. No Apple Watch or additional wearable is required. There is no need to start tracking manually every night. Simply use your iPhone as usual, then check the app the next day to see your estimated bedtime and wake time. KEY FEATURES • Estimate your daily bedtime and wake time • View recent routine records • Review late nights, early mornings, and changes in your routine • Check your latest result with Home Screen widgets • Sync your data across your devices with iCloud WHO IS IT FOR? • People who do not own an Apple Watch or other smartwatch • People who do not like wearing a watch while sleeping • Anyone who simply wants to understand their daily routine • People who want to keep track of late nights and wake-up times • Anyone who does not need detailed sleep-stage analysis PRIVACY Motion and activity information is used only to generate estimates of your routine. It is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking. PLEASE NOTE This app provides estimates based on device activity and usage patterns. It is not a medical-grade sleep monitoring tool. Results may differ from your actual sleep time if your phone is not nearby, the required permissions are disabled, the phone remains unused for an extended period, or audio or video continues playing before you fall asleep. This app does not detect deep sleep, light sleep, or REM sleep. It is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions or replace professional medical advice.
Where Was I

You fall asleep listening and you wake up two hours past the last thing you remember. The bookmark in your audiobook app is wherever the audio happened to be, not where you stopped taking any of it in, so the morning starts with scrubbing backwards and guessing. Where Was I holds the spot instead. It is a sleep timer that checks in with you rather than counting down, and it pauses the moment you stop answering. HOW A NIGHT GOES 1. Choose how often it should check in: 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes, or type your own. 2. Start your audiobook, podcast or music, then tap Start Tonight and leave Where Was I on screen. 3. Every so often you get a soft chime and a quiet voice asking "Still there?" 4. Tap, move the phone, or say you are still here. Any of the three counts as an answer. 5. Miss one and your audio pauses right there, at the minute you actually went under. NO EARBUDS NEEDED Some fall-asleep pause features only work if you are wearing earbuds. This one runs off the phone you already have. The audiobook on the nightstand speaker, the podcast playing in the background, the music you send to the bedroom, all of it pauses the same way. IT WORKS WITH THE APP YOU ALREADY USE It needs no setup and no account. Where Was I never reads, stores or computes another app's playback position. It pauses playback the way a phone call does, and your own app keeps its own bookmark exactly as it always has. YOU DECIDE HOW IT ASKS Voice and chime, voice only, or chime only. Two lines to pick from and two voices. Set the response window anywhere from 10 to 45 seconds. Turn the spoken answer off and a tap or a bit of movement still counts, which is why a first-run user is never asked for the microphone. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Spoken answers are recognized on the device. Nothing you say is recorded and nothing is sent anywhere. Movement is read in the moment and never stored. It never asks you to sign in, because it has nowhere to send anything. WHAT YOU GET IN THE MORNING A receipt for the night: the minute it paused, when you started, how long it took you to drift off, and how many soft check-ins you answered along the way. Open your player, press play, and the place is right. Where Was I Plus is an auto-renewing subscription: $2.99 per week, or $19.99 per year.
