No. The app is designed to work phone-first. You can start detecting and training your habits immediately without any extra hardware.
Privacy
Yes, however we neither listen to the sounds in your bedroom nor save them as audio files. Our AI converts breathing sounds into MEL-spectrograms, visual representations of audio frequencies that cannot be reversed back into audio. The AI analyses patterns in these images, not the sounds themselves. RespireLabs is designed so you control when a session is started and what is stored. Sensitive audio is treated as private and processed locally on your device by default.
No. RespireLabs is built with privacy-first principles from the ground up. You are in control of sharing and consent.
Smart Mouth Tape
Smart Mouth Tape uses advanced AI and machine learning to intelligently detect mouth vs. nasal breathing throughout the night. The device processes data locally and learns your unique patterns over time, providing personalized insights and coaching to help reduce mouth breathing and improve sleep quality.
Mouth taping is not right for everyone. Key contraindications include: nasal congestion, sleep apnea, alcohol or sedative use, respiratory conditions, reflux or high risk of vomiting, and anxiety or panic disorders. Sleep apnea is particularly complex, in some patients mouth taping exacerbates apneas, while in others it reduces events. If you suspect sleep apnea, never try mouth taping before consulting your healthcare provider. Never seal your mouth completely. We will provide clear safety guidance and help you understand whether mouth taping may be appropriate for your situation.
