"Most wearables tell you what.
We focus on why and how."
You wake up tired. You feel dry mouth. Maybe you snore. RespireLabs focuses on breathing behavior: mouth breathing can be linked to dry mouth and morning headaches. It affects sleep quality.
One habit loop.
Detect, understand, practice, and measure progress.
Detect
Start with the app. We detect mouth breathing patterns using your phone microphone.
Understand
Review your session summaries. Track your breathing patterns over time and see how they change.
Practice
Follow short guided exercises. Use reminders and streaks to build nasal breathing consistency.
Measure
Upgrade to deeper night insights with the innovative Smart Mouth Tape wearable.
Two products. One goal.
Built specifically around mouth vs. nasal breathing awareness.
RespireLabs App
Get real-time prompts and session summaries. Follow short guided exercises to build nasal breathing habits—all from your phone.
Privacy by design.
Our AI converts breathing sounds into MEL-spectrograms — visual representations of audio that cannot be reversed. We never listen to the sounds in your bedroom, and no audio is stored. Your data never leaves your device without consent.
Smart Mouth Tape!
A wearable concept adding data and feedback to a simple habit. When you use a traditional tape, you still don't know what happens to your breathing during sleep. We add structured insights to help you understand your night.
- AI-powered analysis
- Breathing detection
- Sleep quality insights
- Adaptive coaching
- Overnight operation
- USB-C data transfer
- No visible lights
- Skin-safe design
Benefits of nasal breathing.
The nose performs over 30 functions. Switching from mouth to nose breathing can positively impact multiple areas of your health and wellbeing.
Deeper sleep 1
Nasal breathing improves oxygen saturation and contributes to more restful sleep cycles.
Better oral health 2
Breathing through the nose keeps the mouth moist, which may help support dental and gum health.
More energy 3
Quality sleep from proper breathing may help you wake up feeling more refreshed and alert.
Natural air filtering 4
Your nose filters, warms, and humidifies air before it reaches your lungs, mouth breathing bypasses this.
Reduced snoring 5
Nasal breathing keeps the airway more stable, which may help reduce snoring intensity and frequency.
Better focus 6
Improved sleep quality from nasal breathing may contribute to sharper daytime concentration and mental clarity.

What is RespireLabs?
Is RespireLabs a medical device?
Does RespireLabs record me all night?
Your nose does more than you think.
Nasal breathing produces nitric oxide, a molecule that helps widen blood vessels and supports oxygen absorption. When you breathe through your mouth, you bypass this natural system entirely.
- Filters, warms, and humidifies incoming air
- Activates the parasympathetic nervous system for relaxation
- Supports proper jaw and facial development
- Helps maintain optimal CO2/O2 balance during sleep
- Dry mouth and throat irritation
- Disrupted sleep stages
- Increased snoring frequency
- Natural air filtration and warming
- Nitric oxide production
- Better oxygen absorption
