It is a cliché of modern times that smartphones have become “everything machines” – they manage our schedules, sort our photos, supply our distractions, even deliver our relationships. Now some enterprising coders have come up with yet another trick: using a smartphone to contain snoring.

If you live alone (or find yourself without an unbelievably patient partner), you can keep track of your own nighttime disturbances simply by starting this app before you slumber:

The Sleep Talk Recorder is active all night, but it doesn’t eat up the space on your phone. It turns on when there’s a noise, a loud snore.
