About Nightjar

Nightjar listens from your nightstand and works out when you were awake, in light sleep or in deep sleep. The audio is analysed on the phone and discarded in the morning.

Set a wake window and the alarm picks a moment of light sleep inside it. A weekly view shows how bedtime, caffeine and screen time line up with the nights you slept well.

What it does well

  • On-device analysis

    Nothing is uploaded. Recordings are deleted after each night unless you save a clip.

  • Wake window

    Pick a 30 minute window and wake during light sleep.

  • Weekly trends

    See average sleep, bedtime drift and how tagged habits affect your nights.

  • Wind-down

    Dims the screen and silences alerts at a time you set.
