Common questions

How do I start?

Put your iPhone by the bed, plugged in, with the microphone (the bottom edge) towards you. Tap Start listening and allow the microphone. You can lock the phone; Hummoth keeps listening. In the morning, press and hold Hold for good morning, and the report opens.

Do I have to keep the screen on?

No. Lock the phone as usual. iOS shows the microphone indicator while Hummoth listens.

Why "after 15 min"?

The fall-asleep delay skips the sounds of you settling in. Choose Right away, 15, 30 or 45 minutes on the Tonight screen or in Settings.

It missed my snoring, or heard things that weren't there.

Try Sensitivity: Quiet room notices softer sounds, Noisy room ignores more (use it with a fan or white noise). Keep the phone within about a metre of your head, not under the pillow. Sound recognition can still miss sounds or label them wrongly.

What is a "loud sound"?

A sound clearly louder than your room's quiet that Hummoth couldn't name: a door, a dog, a partner getting up.

How does Hummoth know how I slept?

Only from sound and your two taps. Bedtime is when you tapped Start listening, wake-up is when you held Good morning. "Quiet" is the share of the night with no sound clearly above your room's quiet; "restless" stretches had a lot of sound other than snoring, such as turning over, talking or coughing. Hummoth doesn't measure sleep stages and doesn't give a sleep score: a still sleeper and a still, awake person sound the same.

How much battery does it use?

Listening all night uses battery, so keep your phone charging. Hummoth stops listening by itself after 14 hours.

How much space do clips take?

About 120 KB for 30 seconds. Settings shows the total and lets you keep clips for 1 week, 1 month, 3 months or forever; the nights and their numbers stay when clips are removed.

A phone call came in during the night.

Hummoth pauses while another app uses the microphone and picks up again afterwards.

I bought Hummoth Plus on another iPhone.

Open Settings (the slider button on Tonight) and tap Restore Purchases while signed in to the same Apple Account.

How do I cancel the subscription?

In the iPhone's Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions, then Hummoth. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial or the current year ends to avoid the next charge. Listening and your last 3 nights stay free.

Can Hummoth tell me if I have sleep apnoea?

No. Hummoth is not a medical device and doesn't diagnose anything. If you stop breathing, choke or gasp at night, talk to a doctor.
