The Best Snore-Tracking Apps on Android

The Best Snore-Tracking Apps on Android

Quick Links

According to the American Medical Association (AMA), about 90 million Americans snore, and around 37 million of them do it regularly. In more serious cases, snoring can take a real toll on your sleep quality. And when your sleep suffers, so does everything else.

The good news is that with the right snore-tracking app, you can do more than just confirm whether you snore. You’ll also see when you snore, how loudly, and in some cases, even why. Some apps also offer practical tips and tools to help you reduce snoring so you can enjoy quieter nights and less groggy mornings.

Here are some of the best Android snore-tracking apps my husband and I have been using to manage his snoring. Some are also available for iOS.

SnoreLab

SnoreLab is easily one of the most robust snore-tracking apps I’ve tried recently. It has a clean, simple design that makes it super easy to use, even if you’re not tech-savvy. While it’s not a full-on sleep tracker like Sleep Cycle or BetterSleep, it does include sleep aids like relaxing soundscapes to help you wind down at night. You can stream or play built-in sounds like forest, waterfall, thunderstorm, campfire, and brown noise. Our favorites are definitely the waterfall, thunderstorm, and campfire.

One standout feature is the Discovery section, which is packed with science-backed information about snoring and sleep apnea; what causes it, how it affects your body, and proven remedies. It’s like having a mini sleep coach in your pocket.

When it comes to tracking snoring, this is where SnoreLab really shines. You can record your sleep to track snoring, view detailed snore reports, rename and organize your recordings, and even play back your snoring sessions (which can be eye-opening and hilarious). Just make sure to follow the app’s instructions for phone placement and start recording at least 45 minutes before bed.

The Results tab gives you an at-a-glance view of your snore graph, snore score, and audio recordings. You can adjust the playback settings to capture a handful of samples or record the entire night. I also love its apnea risk test feature. It’s not an official diagnostic tool like the Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch, but it can help flag potential issues so you can seek proper testing if needed.

As a bonus, SnoreLab includes SnoreGym, a set of guided exercises designed to strengthen your upper airway muscles, which may help reduce snoring over time. That’s why I keep coming back to SnoreLab: it doesn’t just track your snoring; it educates you, helps you understand the causes, and even gives you tools to do something about it. It is available for Android and iOS.

SnoreClock

If SnoreLab feels like a feature-packed smart assistant, SnoreClock is more like a straightforward tape recorder, and I mean that in a good way. Its design is as simple and minimal as they come, but don’t let the bare-bones look fool you. This app is a no-nonsense snoring detector. If you just want something basic that records your snoring (no frills, no distractions) SnoreClock is one of the best options out there.

Of course, its simplicity comes at a cost. There’s no educational content about snoring or sleep apnea, and you won’t find any soothing soundscapes to help you fall asleep. But what you do get is speed and control. Unlike SnoreLab, which needs a short buffer time before recording, SnoreClock lets you start tracking instantly, or schedule it to begin in 5, 10, or 30 minutes. It’s all up to you. I also appreciate the customization. You can tweak just about everything, from recording length and file storage to the format of the audio files.

Using it couldn’t be easier. Just press the big red record button when you’re ready to start, and stop it when you wake up. If your phone is far from the bed, you can enable the sound amplifier to pick up even subtle noises. You can also share recordings directly with a sleep specialist if you need professional insight.

That said, SnoreClock is strictly for tracking, there are no sleep exercises, coaching tools, or visual reports like you’d find in SnoreLab. The reports are plain and simple, lacking visual graphs or snore scoring. But if all you need is a simple, reliable way to record and review your snoring, SnoreClock gets the job done. It is available for Android and iOS.

SnoreNote

If you thought SnoreClock was minimalistic, SnoreNote takes things a step further. This app is as simple and focused as they come. Just three tabs give you everything you need to know whether you snore and how loud it gets.

Our first night with it was a surprise. It detected… nothing. Not a single sound. I was ready to delete it, but decided to give it another shot. The next night, without changing any settings, it suddenly worked and picked up my husband’s snoring. Lesson learned: keep your phone as close as possible for the best results.

There aren’t many settings to tweak, just open the app and start recording instantly. By morning, you’ll see your snoring report with multiple clips, timestamps for when they occurred, and the decibel levels they reached. I liked the color-coded intensity boxes, which make it easy to see how loud things got at a glance.

The app’s detection range–like most others–sits between 57dB and 77dB, so it can also pick up some ambient noises. After reviewing your reports, you can either leave them for tracking trends over time or delete them to free up storage.

I really think SnoreNote is as bare-bones as it gets, but if you want a no-fuss snore recorder that shows you when and how loudly you snored, it does exactly that. It is available for Android and iOS.

Snore Tracker and Monitor

Snore Tracker and Monitor is one of the more feature-rich apps I’ve tried. It’s almost on par with SnoreLab, and it’s a pleasant surprise. The onboarding process is detailed and thoughtful, asking about your sleep habits and snoring patterns to tailor the experience. The interface is clean yet sophisticated, and there’s even a quick-start guide to help you get the most out of the app.

One thing I appreciate is how customizable it is. You can log factors and remedies (like lifestyle changes or bedtime habits) that might affect your snoring, which helps the app give more personalized insights. You also get to choose when to start recording, anywhere from 1 minute to 2 hours after you hit record, which is perfect if you don’t fall asleep right away.

In my tests, it worked smoothly at first, recording my husband’s snoring without issue. But on another night, it missed everything, even though other apps caught it. Nothing had changed in our setup, so that was puzzling. By the next night, it was back to normal. Worth noting: you’ll need an internet connection for your recordings to show up in your results.

The reporting dashboard is where it really shines. You get snore graphs, color-coded intensity levels, and audio clips that are easy to review. I also like its soundscapes. While the selection is small (just ten), it includes my favorites like campfire, forest, and thunderstorms, plus pink and brown noise for variety when winding down. You can also set how many snoring samples to capture, from as few as five to continuous recording all night (though the latter takes up more storage).

There’s also a small Insights section with snoring and apnea information, though it’s nowhere near as in-depth as SnoreLab’s. Still, for its combination of tracking, reporting, and calming soundscapes, this one’s a solid pick. It is only available for Android.

Sleep Talk Recorder

As the name suggests, Sleep Talk Recorder was built to record your sleep talking, but it also doubles as a surprisingly solid snoring tracker. If you’re after a simple, no-frills app that does what it promises, this one delivers. Its minimalist design makes it super easy to use. You can access all its core functions right from the home screen. I do wish it offered extra features like soundscapes or snoring exercises, but considering its main purpose, that’s probably asking too much.

As a snoring detector, it’s fast and reliable. Once we hit the bed icon (or the Activate button), it started recording immediately. I really liked how we could set an activation delay anywhere from 5 to 90 minutes, which is perfect for syncing it with our nightly wind-down routine. There’s also the option to filter out low-level recordings and tweak sound detection sensitivity (we stuck with the default, which worked great). Just remember to place your phone no more than 3 feet (1 meter) from your bed for the best results.

One of my favorite little features is the Sleep Talk Toplist. It’s an entire feed of hilarious sleep-talking clips uploaded by other users. Trust me, give it a scroll an hour before bed, and you might end up laughing yourself to sleep.

In the morning, you can review your recordings and snoring data from the Reports tab. It’s laid out clearly with graphs showing your snoring trends over time and crisp, high-quality audio clips you can play back anytime. For such a straightforward app, it does an impressive job. It is available for Android and iOS.

SnoreGym

SnoreGym (by the creators of SnoreLab) isn’t a snoring detector, but it’s an excellent companion app if you’re serious about reducing snoring. Instead of tracking, it focuses on exercising the muscles in your mouth and throat, which can help minimize snoring and even improve overall sleep quality. It often comes bundled with SnoreLab during setup, but you can also download it as a standalone app.

My husband and I both like how simple and approachable it is. The exercises are easy to follow, thanks to step-by-step instructions and clear animations that show exactly how each movement should look. For example, his favorite, Tongue Curlers, comes with a visual guide and written instructions that make it easy to nail down the technique. I only wish it offered a text-to-speech option, so you could listen to the instructions while doing the workout instead of constantly checking the screen. Still, after a few days, the moves become second nature.

SnoreGym also helps you stay consistent. You can set daily exercise targets (between 5 to 15 minutes), track your progress month-to-month, and even set reminders so you don’t skip your routine. I really like the mirror mode, which uses your camera so you can watch yourself while mirroring the exercise movements on-screen.

And if you’re skeptical about whether these workouts actually work, the app links to scientific research backing up its methods. All in all, SnoreGym has been a valuable addition to our snore management routine, complementing the tracking apps and giving us another way to tackle the issue. It is available for Android and iOS.

Each night during my tests, I fired up all the snore-tracking apps within a few minutes of each other so they’d record the same night’s sleep (SnoreLab requires more time). By morning, I compared the results side by side, looking at recording length, total snoring time, snoring intensity, and any other nighttime noises they picked up. Keep in mind, some apps require different phone placements, which might explain slight differences in their readings.

The Final Take

Here’s my final take: for pure snoring detection, Sleep Talk Recorder takes the crown. For simplicity, it’s a toss-up between Sleep Talk Recorder, SnoreNote, and SnoreClock. If you want rich reports and some nice soundscapes, Snore Tracker and Monitor is your best bet. For actively managing snoring, SnoreGym stands out. But if I had to pick one app that offers the best all-around experience? It’ll be SnoreLab.
