SnoreScribe
A snoring tracker that never uploads your audio
Hey Indie Hackers 👋
I've been building SnoreScribe solo for the past few months — an iOS
app that records your snoring overnight and gives you a morning report:
when you snored, how loud, and short clips so you can actually hear it.
The constraint that shaped every decision: audio never leaves the phone.
No account, no cloud, no third-party SDKs. Recording and analysis run
entirely on-device. It became the core of the positioning, not an
afterthought — because for something this personal (sounds you make
while asleep), I think on-device should be the default.
It also removed an entire category of complexity for a solo dev: no
backend to run, no data to secure, no breach to worry about.
Where I'm at:
- Public beta live on TestFlight (iOS 17+)
- Tech stack: SwiftUI + SwiftData + StoreKit 2
- Zero third-party dependencies
- Working through early feedback, full launch planned for July
If you snore (or your partner says you do), the beta is free and open:

Happy to talk through the on-device approach, solo iOS development, or
anything about the build → launch journey. Feedback on the beta very
welcome too.
About
Quick context on why I built this: I snore, my partner doesn't sleep well because of it, and every app I tried either wanted an account or quietly uploaded audio "for analysis." So I built the one I'd actually trust app
