SnoreClock turns your phone into a nightly snore log. It’s a solid pick for curious snorers, with a few limits you should know about first.
This review covers what it does, who it suits, and where it falls short. Store details were checked in October 2026.
Features
- Overnight recording. Hit the red button at bedtime and the app listens for about eleven hours.
- Visual timeline. A chart marks suspected snoring in red, and you can zoom in and replay any moment.
- Sound labels. It separates snoring from talking, whispering and coughing.
- Plus upgrade on Android. Paid users get no ads, SD card saving, snore alerts and stat backups.
The iPhone and iPad listing shows a one-time price near $9.99, no ads, and no collected data. The Android listing is free with in-app purchases and was last updated in December 2025.
How Well Does It Work?
There’s real evidence here, which is rare. A 2021 study pitted the app against an ENT specialist across 201 recordings taken from 11 patients, and the two lined up closely (r = 0.907).
Average accuracy came in at 95%, with sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 97%. In plain terms, it seldom cries wolf but can overlook some genuine snores, especially when snoring is frequent.
A broader look at snoring apps from 2015 found the top-rated one varied between 64% and 96% sensitivity. That’s a reminder that accuracy depends on the app and the room.
Who It Fits
It fits people who want a baseline. If you’re about to try a pillow, a mouthpiece or a new habit, a few recorded nights give you something to compare against.
It also fits partners who want proof. The playback feature ends the debate about who made which noise.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Anyone worried about sleep apnea needs a medical test, not an app. The study measured snore detection and never checked for apnea.
Android users who hate ads will need Plus. Some reviewers also say recordings can end early, so check that your first night’s chart runs from bedtime to waking.
Fair Verdict
SnoreClock is a trustworthy recorder with better proof than most. Use it as a measuring tape and not a diagnosis.
