WakeBear: Snore Alarm
Effective date: August 17, 2026. This policy describes the WakeBear app and the support email linked from this website.
After you start monitoring, WakeBear uses the iPhone microphone to identify snore-like sound characteristics. The app analyzes the input in real time on the iPhone, does not store audio, discards the analyzed audio samples, does not create a recording file, and does not send audio outside the device or to a third party.
WakeBear stores the wake method setting, monitoring duration, snore candidate count, alarm count, monitoring end reason, and microphone interruption records on the iPhone. The app does not automatically send these records to the developer or a third party. You can delete monitoring history in the app, and deleting the app removes the app data from the iPhone.
WakeBear requests microphone access for snore-like sound detection and AlarmKit access for an alarm that can prompt a change of position. If an external AudioSession interruption actually starts, WakeBear ends monitoring, saves the end reason, and sends one local notification after the end process completes. During monitoring, no local notifications are sent except alarms caused by WakeBear through AlarmKit. Local notifications are created on the iPhone and are not sent to an external service.
The app does not collect personal information, microphone audio, monitoring history, device identifiers, or location. It does not use advertising, third-party analytics SDKs, or cross-app or cross-website tracking.
If you email support@yosi.dev, the information you choose to include—such as your contact details, device details, or a description of a problem—is used to respond to and investigate your support request. This email information is separate from the app audio and monitoring history. Do not include audio or other sensitive information unless you have decided that it is necessary and have a safe way to share it. Support messages are retained only for support, safety, and record-keeping needs, then deleted when no longer needed, subject to applicable obligations.
When you use TestFlight, Apple may handle device information, usage information, crash information, and feedback or screenshots that you submit to provide TestFlight. Apple’s privacy policy applies to Apple’s handling of that information.
WakeBear is not a medical device and does not diagnose sleep apnea, treat snoring, or provide a medical measurement. It does not guarantee that you will wake up or that snoring will stop. Consult a healthcare professional for breathing pauses, breathlessness, or severe daytime sleepiness.
If WakeBear’s data practices change, this policy will be updated with a new effective date. For privacy questions or a request about a support email, contact support@yosi.dev.
