What people do today

πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A diagnostic tool within the app that verifies microphone and sensor functionality before starting a sleep session
  2. A community-driven compatibility database where users report specific hardware/OS combinations that fail to track sleep
  3. An automated alert system that notifies users if the app detects no movement or audio data after 30 minutes of a session
  4. Develop a calibration tool within the app that allows users to test sensor sensitivity before sleep.
  5. Create a community-driven database of device-specific settings to optimize tracking accuracy for different phone models.
