Your sleep audio, analyzed on your phone.
Your sleep audio is analyzed and stored on your phone. SomniSense does not upload any raw audio. With SomniSense, a sleep apnea detector app, you can use your bedside phone to find possible breathing irregularities and review their sound without sending your bedroom recording to us.
You stay in control of the audio you keep. When a minute’s audio is available, you can listen to it in the app or choose to save or share a copy yourself. That explicit action is different from SomniSense uploading a night’s raw recording.
Your night is analyzed on your phone
The phone runs the audio analysis and builds your Night Report locally. It organizes possible breathing marks, their estimated timing and the available surrounding audio, so you can inspect your own evidence.
You do not have to send raw audio to a server to get that record. This protects the recording while keeping it useful: find a marked moment, see the change in the waveform and hear what happened before and after it.
Research that makes local analysis practical
See the published model measurements
BRI is a product-defined candidate rate, not a research accuracy metric. Paper E reports 88.49% accuracy and 88.06% F1 for 200-second windows (2,953 total; single seed). Its Pruned+FT+QAT model has 9,416 parameters and a 56.4 KB file; the separate CoreML Pruned+FT forward-pass benchmark is 0.064 ms on Apple M2, excluding audio preprocessing and post-processing (200 calls, 20 warmups). Research
SomniSense’s own methods were studied using audio paired with clinical sleep-study labels (PSG). The compression research shows how a compact model can retain useful classification performance; the research page explains the evaluated tasks and sources.
The benefit for you is a breathing record you can examine on the same phone that captured it. No additional wearable is needed, and reviewing the available sound remains your choice.
What stays local, and what you choose to share
Raw audio and account data are different. Account and subscription information, aggregated sleep statistics and technical context may be sent to operate account history, trends and reports, as described in the privacy policy. The promise here is specific: SomniSense does not upload raw audio.
You can delete locally retained recordings in the app. Audio availability depends on the files still on your phone and your retention settings; a saved report cannot restore audio that has already been deleted. Copies you export are under your control.
