Good questions.
Clear answers.

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. You can also track daily factors and explore personal patterns. Sound analysis happens on your phone.

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.

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.

GrindMute is free to download. You can run a Sleep Session, review the night you just recorded, track daily factors and use optional alerts. Pro adds past-night playback, trends and comparisons, PDF dentist reports, audio sharing and data backup. Current purchase options are shown in the app.

Yes. GrindMute is available for iPhone on the App Store and for Android on Google Play.

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.

You can log observations such as stress, caffeine and jaw discomfort, add your own factors, and compare submitted observations with sounds you marked as grinding. Pro includes trends and comparisons. Comparisons require enough eligible, reviewed recordings and submitted answers; they describe labelled sounds, not clinical severity or a cause. Learn how to keep a useful sleep diary.

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.

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.

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.

Recordings are not uploaded automatically. Audio analysis happens on your phone, and audio is never included in product analytics. The current app does not upload clips for model training; earlier versions offered optional contributions. You can choose to share a clip or report yourself. Read the Privacy Policy.

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.

Email hi@grindmute.com with your phone model, operating-system version, app version and a short description of the issue. Only send audio if you intentionally choose to share it.
