Frequently asked
Answers to the questions most people ask before installing.
If you are deciding whether Acquiesco fits your routine, these are the details that usually matter most.
What is Acquiesco?
Acquiesco is an iPhone and Apple Watch snoring app that listens for snoring in real time and sends a quiet wrist tap to the snorer, helping them change position before their partner wakes up. Audio is analyzed on-device and is not recorded.
Who is Acquiesco best for?
Acquiesco is best for couples where snoring is positional and wakes a partner. It is not for diagnosing or treating sleep apnea, and serious symptoms such as gasping, choking, or daytime fatigue should be discussed with a clinician.
How does Acquiesco minimize snoring?
Acquiesco listens for loud snoring and sends a gentle haptic to your Apple Watch, prompting you to shift position. A small change in position is usually enough to minimize the snoring without either of you fully waking up.
Does Acquiesco record my audio?
No. Audio is analyzed on-device in real time. Acquiesco does not save recordings of your night and does not upload audio. The app exists to interrupt snoring in the moment, not to archive it.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
An Apple Watch is strongly recommended. The wrist haptic is the quietest way to wake the snorer without disturbing their partner. The app can run iPhone-only, but the experience is best with a watch.
Will my partner be woken by the alert?
That's the whole point of the design. The cue is delivered to the snorer's wrist, not as audio in the room. In most cases the partner sleeps through it.
Is this a sleep apnea app?
No. Acquiesco is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or monitor sleep apnea. If snoring is severe or paired with gasping, choking, or daytime fatigue, see a clinician.
Where should I place my iPhone at night?
On a nightstand roughly 2 to 4 feet from the bed, plugged in, in a reasonably quiet room. The closer and quieter the better.
How much does Acquiesco cost?
Eligible new subscribers can start with a 7-day free trial. After the trial, Acquiesco offers monthly access for $4.99/month or yearly access for $39.99/year. The yearly plan is as low as 11 cents/night, based on 365 nights.
