How can we help?

SleepTalker listens through the microphone while you sleep and detects by itself when it gets loud. Only those moments are saved – for example when you talk or snore. The rest of the night stays silent.

Yes, SleepTalker listens all night but only keeps the loud moments. To make sure the battery lasts until morning, plug your phone in.

Without the microphone, SleepTalker can’t record anything. If you declined access, you can allow it again for SleepTalker in your device settings.

• Place your phone close to your head, e.g. on the nightstand.
• Keep the microphone uncovered – not under the pillow or in a case that blocks it.
• Plug your phone in overnight.

Android requires it: it’s the only way the microphone may keep running while the screen is locked. No data is transmitted through the notification.

The app turns a recording into text on request. Where possible, this happens directly on your device. If that’s not possible, the recording is sent to Apple or your Android device’s speech recognition service – but only when you start the transcription yourself.

Only locally on your device – nobody but you hears them. They are not sent to us unless you share them yourself, use server transcription or a backup.

In the app you can delete individual recordings, whole nights or everything. If you like, the app deletes old recordings automatically. Uninstalling removes all local data.

No. There is no sign-up – we know neither your name nor your email address.

• iPhone (Premium): Turn on iCloud backup in the app. Recordings, nights, tags and transcripts are then stored in your own iCloud account.
• Android: If backup is enabled on your device, Android can back up the app data encrypted to your Google account and restore it on reinstall (limited by Android’s storage limit).

If you allow it, SleepTalker reads sleep analysis and heart rate for the time of your recordings. That way you see which sleep phase and heart rate you talked at. Health data never leaves your device, and the app writes nothing to Apple Health. You can revoke access in iOS under Settings › Health › Data Access & Devices › SleepTalker.

All the details are in the privacy policy.

Yes. Recording, the night timeline and sharing are free. In the free version you can unlock locked recordings with an optional ad video. Premium adds transcription, Apple Health (iOS) and iCloud backup (iOS), and removes ads.

Purchases and subscriptions are handled by Apple or Google. We receive no payment data. Your Premium status is managed with RevenueCat using a random, anonymous user ID.

• iPhone: Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions › SleepTalker
• Android: Play Store › profile picture › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions › SleepTalker

Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription automatically.

In the app under Settings › Privacy settings (ads). Without your consent, only non-personalized ads are requested. With Premium there are no ads at all.

Turn off “News” in the app – your push token is then deleted from our server immediately. The morning summary and alarm are not affected; they are created directly on your device.
