Understand your
snoring. Free
and private.
Kip records and scores your snoring overnight on your iPhone, and your audio never leaves your device. Free for three nights, with no ads and no card.
What you wake up to after the first free night.
How it works
Three taps tonight. A clear answer tomorrow.
01
Put your phone by the bed.
Plug it in and tap start. No wearable, no setup.
02
Kip listens and scores overnight.
On-device machine learning separates real snoring from coughs, the cat and traffic, then scores how loud it gets.
03
Wake to a calm summary.
Your snore score, your loudest minutes, and how the week is trending.
2-minute check
How loud is your snoring, really?
Three quick questions. No sign-up, no diagnosis. Just a sense of whether it's worth tracking tonight.
Has a partner ever told you that you snore?
How do you usually feel when you wake up?
How often do you wake during the night?
This isn't a diagnosis. Kip helps you track patterns over time so you can have an informed conversation with your GP.

More than a number.
A morning report.
A clear summary of the night: your snore score, your loudest minutes, and how long you snored. Generate a report to keep, or to take to your GP.
Trends over time.
Watch your score across the week and the month. One bad night stops looking like a disaster, and a real change stands out clearly.
See what actually works.
Record a baseline, change one thing like side sleeping or skipping a late drink, and let the numbers tell you whether it helped.
Private by design
Your audio
never leaves
your phone.
Snoring is classified on your device, using the same kind of machine learning that powers your iPhone camera. Nothing is streamed. Nothing is uploaded. There is no cloud option to switch on.

Common questions
A few things before tonight.
Is Kip free?
Yes, to start. Kip is free to download and free to use for your first three nights, with no ads and no card needed. After that it is an optional subscription. There is no locked, ad-filled free tier.
Is Kip a free SnoreLab alternative?
Yes. Kip records and scores your snoring on iPhone like SnoreLab, but your audio never leaves your device and there are no ads. Try the full app free for three nights. See the full comparison.
Does my snoring audio get uploaded anywhere?
No. Kip analyses your snoring entirely on your iPhone. The audio never leaves the device, and there is no cloud upload option at all. Only your nightly summaries are saved, and you can delete everything in one tap.
Can a snore app detect sleep apnoea?
No snore app can diagnose sleep apnoea. Only a clinical sleep study can. Kip is a wellness tool that flags patterns consistent with disrupted sleep, so you can talk to your GP with real information.
Will Kip wake me up?
No. Recording is passive. The screen goes dark and there are no overnight notifications.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. Kip uses your iPhone microphone. Plug the phone in, place it by your bed, and tap start.
