Accessibility Service
The accessibility service is necessary for a series of alarm tasks called CAPTCHA. Completing tasks such as sheep counting, doing math, or scanning a barcode on your toothpaste will ensure you get up on time and are fully awake.
The accessibility Service prevents you from cheating the CAPTCHA tasks by force stopping the app or turning off the device before completing them. No personal information is collected.
Device Admin
This app may also use the Device Administrator permission to prevent you from cheating CAPTCHA tasks (see above) by uninstalling the app.
Health Disclaimer
Sleep as Android is not intended for medical use, but rather to improve general fitness and well-being, especially in terms of better sleep. Any oxygen saturation tracking is done with compatible oximeter devices such as the TicWatch, BerryMed oximeters... more at https://sleep.urbandroid.org/docs/devices/wearables.html

Edit: thank you for the helpful of response. I was able to find the sleep tracker with your directions. It's been a while so I'm not sure where I saw that it was only a 7-day trial but I see now where it is counting down a 12-day trial. Perhaps there was a typo in a previous version? In any case I'm bumping my rating to three stars since it does have the abilities I need but seems to have a learning curve it did not used to have. Not sure if I will use it as my main app or not yet.

Before the update this app was already difficult to navigate to the menus. But after the update is almost impossible to find what I want. Just trying to see the graphs of sleep time takes multiple clicks, and as I try to navigate the menu it ends up zooming in and out on graphs that I don't want.

This app is very impressive and it's been around a long long time. It integrates with the Android OS very nicely like it was meant to be. I highly highly recommend buying it and snatching it up when it goes on sale one holiday. I'm very happy I purchased it a long time ago and the developers have not done any sneaky manipulative tactics to take away the paid product. They just increased the cost of the app I believe, but tbh the app has had TONS of improvements since I've last used it too!!💯

(Edited after bug). Very prompt reply; Sorry for just now updating - I didn't see it. Very great app! Have had it for years, and the lifetime plan is worth it if you consistently use it for over a couple of months. It's the best sleep app I've used, and I love the developers who made so many features free and even more bonus features for premium! Thank you!

Update 3/25/24ish this update has made everything so hard to use! You go to listen to last night's sound recordings and when you finally find it you end up with every recording that has been done and saved on your phone! That is 200 for me for 2 nights sleeps and my starred recordings! Horrible great app that records sleep talking, snoring and such as well as accurately tracking sleep and movement

I just got the app and it seems good, but there's one feature missing that I'm curious if you'll implement/already have (if it is/will be present, I'll bump up my review). On a previous sleep app I had, there were options when you started the sleep tracker to input relevant information - if you'd taken sleep aids, drank alcohol, etc. These would later be used to draw correlations and inferences about good versus bad nights of sleep. Does the tagging system as implemented achieve this, or not?

Been using this alarm for years. After changing phones it's started killing the battery if I sleep through it. Iirc my old phone would wake the screen when it went off, but it would dim/shut off again shortly after (with alarm still going off). Now though, the screen stays on and kills the battery. I've already disabled the morning screen, but I'm unsure what else to do. Will happily edit this to 5 stars if you can help me resolve this. edit1: 1 to 3 stars, emailing support

Update 2/2024 This app works great! Gives great insight into your sleep, snoring, and oxygen levels! I don't seem to have any of the problems I had before! Thanks for this app! 2016 ... Works sometimes, tried to get help, only received one email back, no response to my response. Uninstalled all reinstalled all, nope. Sometimes tell it not to track with watch, still no recording. About to give up on my investment. Note 4, Gear S2

Not lowering score, just a slight nitpick and maybe a suggestion. I've noticed that even though I have my lullaby setting to 30 minutes then turn off, it's been going for more than an hour. Idk I'd something is broke or what. I use an aurora projector that has Bluetooth and after an hr it turns off and the music starts coming from my phone. I've heard it in recordings. I notice it says it gradually decreases sound, but maybe add an option to turn it off immediately after time limit?

I wish it let you set your location manually for the weather and sunrise features, and I wish there was an optional feature for dream(/nightmare) tracking. I know a lot of people like tracking their dreams, and personally I'd really appreciate being able to see if there are any patterns the app could pick up. A simple "did you dream? yes/no" with a box to check if it was a nightmare would be enough for me, and adding the option to journal about it would probably be popular.

Update: I guess it's time to uninstall. Since the latest update, the UI has become a frustrating bunch of little "cards" you have tap on to see the data you need. Gone is the simple one page display of your data in a cohesive and coherent report you used to be presented with each morning. It's a shame to see the total decline of this app. At least the alarm functions are useful. Maybe I'll use just ad that and do the sleep tracking through a better app.

I purchased Sleep a long time ago and getting back into it has quite literally turned my life around, being able to see what's going on with my sleep patterns and being encouraged to keep up good habits has helped me get a good night's rest for me a lot more often than I used to get them. They've added a ton of functionality over the last decade, looking forward to another decade of use. My only wish is for a caffeine intake cutoff reminder based on bedtime/desired sleep length and alarm time.

I really like this app! I use it every night, and it's really brought home that I don't sleep enough. Hoping that I can get myself to start reserving enough time in my day to get enough sleep by looking at my data. My only problem is that it's not very accurate on when I'm awake or asleep, even using my Samsung watch; it's marked me as awake quite a bit when I know I was sleeping, and isn't right about when I'm in REM. Makes me want to do an actual sleep study to see if it's an ADHD thing...

The app is nice to have, but for years I have been plagued by an app that automatically raises my volume while I'm listening to videos or music at night. Every 30 seconds it would raise to ~70% volume. I finally got an android debugger and it showed me this app had permission to change media volume (which was not shown in the interface on the phone permissions) and there is no setting or feature indicating this app does this. I thought it was a bug in my phone for the longest time.

The developer is good at responding professionally. Not only is this the best full featured alarm clock, this app is essential for people who want to wake up refreshed instead of groggy because it times your wakeup window. It's also very good for heavy sleepers because you can rotate random loud alarm sounds on a playlist, so your body won't get used to a daily alarm sound. The only thing is the backup loud alarm might not be jarring enough, even though it's tested for heavy sleepers.

After installing it, they wanted money to enable multiple options that were show in the app screenshots. They shouldn't show/advertise features in the free version that aren't enabled in the free version. Setting an alarm to a one time date and then setting the time resets your date setting. Alarms do not make noise if the phone is paired to a Bluetooth speaker, making the app unreliable. And no, force headphones is disabled.

Used to be a better app. I like to fall asleep to a podcast, and now the app will record that sound in its entirety as "sleep noise". Also the sleep tracking screen doesn't come up when I unlock my phone in the morning, so I forget it's even running. I wish this formerly excellent app would become excellent again. I even sprung for the paid version, it used to be so good. Would not pay for the app in its current state.

Sleep as Android is one of the best paid-for options out there. Free trial to test, trends, options, multiple ways to track sleep even without having the phone nearby, and so on. The free version allows sleep tracking, but no trends, however (Sleep Tracker by Leap Fitness has trends for free, and Sleep Calculator). That being said, I don't completely trust the accuracy of any app that doesn't connect to heart rate and oxygen sensors. Also, it failed to pick up some noises, like me test talking.

I've been using this for over 10 years now and still love it. My only issue is that an update or two ago, it became much more difficult to edit a playlist made of music on my phone. One of my music files in a 12 song playlist is broken, and I can't just edit it to remove it. EDIT: No, using the File icon under Playlist will only let me choose 1 song, even if I long-press to try to choose multiple, and then shows it under Song not Playlist.

Amazing, and loving it since my first Android phone Galaxy S4. However for several months I've been. Unable to backup to the sleep cloud. Followed the steps of disconnecting and reconnecting the cloud backup service. Powered phone off/on. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the cloud backup app/add-on. Thanks the always being there.
