R Rhydhm About

Rhydhm

A quiet sleep lab in your phone.

Rhydhm is an experimental Android app for phone-based acoustic sleep sensing. It tries to map stable room surfaces, watch for movement near a body candidate, estimate breathing when possible, and support wake-window alarms.

Built by Rhypple Local-first sleep tracking experiment

Surface detection

It starts by finding stable echoes.

The app uses the phone speaker and microphone to test whether the room has stable acoustic surfaces. Without a stable baseline, breathing and sleep movement estimates are not treated as reliable.

Motion

It separates phone motion from room motion.

Motion sensors help identify when the phone itself moved. Acoustic changes can then be interpreted more carefully instead of assuming every shift is the person sleeping.

Breathing

Breathing is estimated only when the signal is strong.

The app looks for rhythmic motion near a candidate body surface. If the signal is weak or unstable, it should show uncertainty rather than pretend to know the breathing rate.

Alarm

The alarm is designed around wake opportunities.

The goal is to trigger alarms near a chosen wake window when the app sees signs that waking may be easier. This remains experimental and should be backed up with a normal alarm.

Sessions

Sessions can be reviewed and exported.

Rhydhm records session summaries so signal quality, surfaces, movement, phone stability, and alarm events can be inspected after a test night.

Experimental

It is not a clinical sleep lab.

The app is for wellness experimentation and algorithm development. It is not intended for medical diagnosis, treatment, or safety-critical monitoring.
