How Long Does Snorely Keep Audio Clips?

Snorely keeps audio clips for the latest 14 saved real-night sessions and up to 400 night records, subject to storage limits. Older reports can remain after their audio is removed. The free version opens your latest three nights; Pro opens older saved reports, but does not extend audio retention or bring deleted clips back.

The audio limit counts recorded sessions, not calendar days

The 14-night window follows your saved sessions, ordered by their start date. With 14 real sessions saved, the oldest is still within the audio window. When you save a fifteenth, that oldest session falls outside it and its audio is removed. Skipping a week does not, by itself, use up seven places. A saved short session counts too, so several sessions in one day can move older audio out sooner than recording once a night would. There is no setting to pin a favorite clip or choose a longer retention period.

The 400-night limit applies to reports

Snorely audio storage and report storage have different limits. Up to 400 night records can remain, including scores, tags and timeline details where available. Once a new saved session takes the total past 400, the oldest record is removed. This is a maximum record count, not a promise of 400 calendar days or 400 nights of playable sound. For an older night outside the audio window, a score or a clip waveform may still appear even though the sound is gone. A visible clip row is therefore not proof that a playable recording remains.

Pro changes access to history

Without Pro, you can open the latest three real-night reports. Older saved nights are grouped behind a Pro prompt in History; that access limit does not mean their records have been deleted. Pro lets you open those retained reports, but the same 14-session audio window and 400-record cap still apply. Before subscribing to hear a particular old night, check its position in your recording history. A report older than the latest 14 saved real sessions can still contain useful numbers, but Pro cannot restore audio that has already been removed.

Check what a missing clip message means

Open History, choose an accessible night, and look under Loudest moments. Try the Play control for the clip you want. The message ‘No audio saved for this clip’ means that clip has no available sound to play; it does not identify the cause. Its audio may have aged out of the session window or failed to remain in storage. An empty clip list is a different situation: no playable clips were saved for that report. Sample nights also have no real audio. Use the report date and whether the night is a sample to narrow down what you are seeing.

Storage problems can remove audio earlier

Neither limit guarantees that everything will remain available until you reach it. Snorely can remove older nights when it cannot save more data, or shorten timeline details while keeping a saved score. There is also a current storage-error problem: an unsuccessful save can remove audio from an older night even when that older report remains visible. If you see a storage warning or a failed-save message, check any clips you care about. Keep a separate copy of important audio while it still plays, rather than relying on the full 14-session window.

Keep a clip you want to revisit

While the audio is available, open its night report and use the Share control beside that clip. Snorely shares an individual WAV audio file through your phone’s sharing options. Choose a destination you trust, then confirm that the receiving app has actually saved the file and that it plays there. Opening the share menu alone does not preserve anything. Save any useful context, such as the session date and your own notes, alongside the copy: sharing a clip does not export the full night report. That separate copy is the one to keep for later listening.

Local storage does not provide a backup

Snorely stores its recordings and reports on your phone. It has no account-based recording library, cloud sync or full-history backup-and-import feature. Do not rely on signing in or restoring Pro to retrieve a recording on another phone. Before changing phones or removing the app, copy any clips you want to keep using Share and verify those copies at their destination. A shared audio file can be kept separately, but Snorely does not offer a way to import it as a restored night with its original score, timeline and tags.

Turn off future clips without deleting existing ones

In Settings, turn off Save snore clips if you want future sessions to produce reports without saved audio clips. This controls audio saving; it does not turn off microphone listening during a session, erase clips already saved, or protect older clips from normal retention limits. Set it before starting the next session. If your goal is to remove an existing night, use its delete control instead. If your goal is to keep a particular sound, make a separate copy first; changing this switch cannot preserve it.

Delete recordings and check the result

To remove one accessible night, open its report, tap the trash icon and confirm Delete. For a broader cleanup, Settings includes Delete all data. Before confirming either action, keep any copies you still need. After using Delete all data, close and reopen Snorely and check that unwanted nights are no longer shown; do not rely solely on the confirmation message. If an unwanted night appears again, contact support@hugosoftware.net before recording further. Also remove any copies you previously saved elsewhere if you no longer want them, since Snorely’s deletion controls do not manage those destinations.
