01
Start a sleep session
Bring the Acquiesco iPhone and watch apps to the foreground (iPhone on the nightstand, charging) and that's it. The iPhone starts listening for snoring.
How it works
Acquiesco is built around one quiet overnight loop.
Detect the snore event, send the smallest useful intervention, and stop as soon as movement confirms you have repositioned.
02
Silent wrist signal
When loud noises are detected, Acquiesco notifies the watch, which silently vibrates to partially rouse the wearer. Vibration frequency and intensity step up only as needed until you tap the watch or shift position. Then Acquiesco backs off and keeps listening.
Best setup for the product experience
- Place your iPhone on a nearby nightstand, roughly 2 to 4 feet away.
- Wear the Apple Watch for quiet haptic nudges.
- Grant microphone access on iPhone and Health access on watchOS.
- Use a relatively quiet room so the app can calibrate accurately.
Not intended for diagnosis
Acquiesco is designed to help reduce partner-disturbing snoring by prompting a position change. It does not diagnose sleep apnea, does not provide medical monitoring, and should not replace clinical evaluation when symptoms are serious.
