Description
SomnoPose is designed to run all night, while you wear your iPhone or iPod touch. It continually monitors the device's orientation, and provides an all-night chart of sleep position, along with a summary that shows how much time you've spent in each general position. An optional alarm can be used to help avoid undesired positions.
WHAT IT DOES:
– Continually monitors accelerometer data to determine your body position.
– Shows how much time you've spent facing left, right, up and down.
– Provides charts showing position data for entire nights.
– An alarm can alert you when you're in a position you've chosen to avoid.
– Shows built-in help content.
WHAT IT DOESN'T DO:
– Does not transfer information from your device unless you explicitly export data. You control where your data goes.
– Does not need a network connection (except if and when you export data)
– Does not have in-app advertising, in-app purchases, or subscription fees.
USER-EXPERIENCE FEATURES:
– Scrolling chart on the main screen shows real-time position data.
– Screens have dark backgrounds, suitable for use in low-light conditions.
– Alarm volume can increase gradually to avoid jarring users (or partners).
– Audio from another app can be played in the background.
MORE FEATURES
– Alarms and statistics are automatically paused while you sit up or stand up.
– The angles for determining body positions are adjustable.
– Chart images can be saved as photos, printed, sent to other apps, or exported.
– Collected position data can be exported via email, messages, or other apps (as a CSV attachment).
– Controls can be “shielded” to prevent accidental changes.
– Uses the iPhone proximity sensor to shut off the screen during the night, saving battery power.
