Hi. I've been unable to find any app for monitoring sleep that it's not infested with ads, trackers, or in-app purchases.

Does anybody know of any open source, honest app for tracking sleep?

My recommendation would be to have a gadgetbridge supported device (and read how well supported it is, some devices need some convoluted pairing process the first time). It can do so many things by now it's becoming silly. I love this app.

I assume you did a search on f-droid and saw plees-tracker and it didn't work?

I had not seen that one, but it's not exactly the kind of app I meant.

I'm looking for something that can listen to snores and motion to determine whether the user is sleeping.

Track sleep how?

I know smartwatches track your sleep when you wear them at night through sensors, how would you do it with a phone, or do you mean tracking in a different way?

Phones have sensors as well. Apps exist that have you place the phone next to you on the mattress so the accelerometer can track your movement, while the mic tracks snoring and such.

I think your best chance to get something without 3rd party closed software is to get a ESP32 chip with accelerometer, mic and use AI to vibe code something to record events.
