GrindMuteGetting started
What does GrindMute do?
GrindMute listens during a Sleep Session for sounds that may resemble teeth grinding. It saves short clips for you to review and label in the morning. Sound analysis happens on your phone.
How do I get ready for my first night?
Place your phone on a stable bedside surface, keep the microphone uncovered and start a Sleep Session. Follow the app’s microphone and battery-readiness prompts. Do not put your phone under a pillow or blanket. Read the step-by-step recording guide.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No named account is needed for core use, and audio detection runs on your device. Supporting functions, including anonymous technical authentication, store purchases and updates, may need a connection.
Is GrindMute free?
GrindMute is free to download. You can run a Sleep Session and review the night you just recorded. Pro adds full history, trends, PDF dentist reports, audio sharing and data backup. Current purchase options are shown in the app.
Is GrindMute available on iPhone?
Yes. GrindMute is available for iPhone on the App Store and for Android on Google Play.
Understanding results
Can GrindMute diagnose teeth grinding?
No. GrindMute finds possible sounds for awareness; it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent bruxism. It can miss grinding and save unrelated sounds. A dentist can assess symptoms, examine your teeth and advise on next steps.
Why did it save a sound that is not grinding?
Fabric, movement, snoring, speech and room sounds may resemble teeth grinding. Review each clip and use your own labels. Phone position, background noise and microphone hardware can affect what is detected.
Does a night with no clips mean I did not grind my teeth?
No. It means the app did not surface possible sounds under those recording conditions. It can miss sounds, and clenching may be quiet. Check that the session ran and the microphone stayed clear; discuss symptoms with a dentist even if a report is quiet.
Does GrindMute make a sound during the night?
You can choose an optional alert sound in the app. It is not a treatment or a guarantee that grinding will stop. Choose settings that suit your sleeping environment.
Audio and privacy
Does my audio leave my phone?
Recordings are not uploaded automatically. Audio analysis happens on your phone, and audio is never included in product analytics. You may choose to contribute reviewed and labeled clips to help improve detection; this is off by default. Read the Privacy Policy.
Can I share observations with my dentist?
Pro includes PDF reports and audio sharing. These can help explain what you noticed, but an app report is not a clinical assessment. Learn when to talk to a dentist. You can also use our free observation diary template.
