Set a suitable sensitivity
Adjust the threshold for your bedroom and the sounds you want to notice.
Record the sounds that happen while you sleep
Instead of saving an entire night of mostly silence, Owl Recorder can capture only the sound events that cross your chosen threshold — such as snoring, sleep talking, coughing or unexpected noises.
Overnight recording produces long files that are slow to review. Threshold-triggered clips make it easier to find the moments that actually occurred during the night.
How it works

Frequently asked questions
Does it have to record the whole night?
The session can run overnight, but saved recordings are created only for sounds that exceed the selected threshold.
Can I use it for sleep talking?
Yes. Sleep talking is one of the use cases for threshold-triggered overnight recording.
Is this a medical sleep-monitoring device?
No. Owl Recorder is an audio recording utility and is not a medical device or diagnostic tool.
