Sleep as Joe support
A little help for a calmer night. Find answers about setup, sleep data, alarms and recordings.
Contact
Email lubos@svetik.cz. Please include your iPhone model, iOS version and app version, plus a short description of the issue. For Watch features, include your Watch model and watchOS version. Do not send Health exports or sleep recordings unless we specifically agree they are needed.
Getting started
Sleep as Joe requires iOS 26 or later. Apple Watch is optional; Watch features require watchOS 26 or later. Choose your sleep goal and alarm, then grant only the permissions for the features you want to use.
Why is my sleep report empty?
Sleep stages and health measurements come from Apple Health. Check that your sleep source has recorded a night and that Sleep as Joe has permission to read it. Apple Watch sleep stages may appear after waking. Demo data is available in Settings → Data so you can explore the interface without existing records.
Alarms and Smart Wake
Allow alarms when prompted by iOS. Check the wake-up time, repeat days and wake-up method in the app. Open the Watch app after changing settings so they can sync. Smart Wake uses movement and heart-rate signals during the selected window; it does not measure sleep stages in real time. You can enable an iPhone backup alarm. Verify your setup on your own devices before relying on it.
Snoring and microphone access
Snoring detection works during a sleep session that you start, with microphone permission. Audio is analyzed on iPhone. In Settings, choose how long to keep recordings or use Delete all recordings. The feature identifies possible snoring and is not a sleep-apnea test.
Sounds and backgrounds
Background artwork and relaxing audio download from cdn.svtk.dev. A connection is needed for the first download; successfully downloaded assets are cached. If a download fails, check your connection and try again.
Your data and permissions
You can change Health, microphone, alarm and Home access in the relevant iOS settings. Removing access limits the related features. Health records can be managed in the Health app. See the privacy policy for details.
