Sleep tracking is easy to do if you own a smartwatch or fitness band, but your options are less robust if you\u2019re using a smartphone. However, the <\/span>Android development team<\/span><\/a> has just made its low-power Sleep API publicly available to third-party developers, which opens up the door for more quality <\/span>sleep tracking apps<\/span> for smartphone users.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, developers will have a more robust toolkit available to them for building sleep tracking apps, allowing them to upgrade existing services, create apps that offer a better selection of data, and conserve smartphone batteries while they run.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this API in play, you will have access to \u201csleep confidence\u201d reports at regular intervals up to 10 minutes. You\u2019ll also be able to review a broader daily sleep segment report once you wake up for the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, developers are working to combine sensor signals to determine when users start or end activities (like running or sleeping). These detection algorithms can be inconsistent between multiple apps, and when they\u2019re both constantly trying to check for changes in activity levels, it makes your phone\u2019s battery drain faster. To ensure its Sleep API will work properly (and not tank your smartphone\u2019s battery), Google collaborated with Urbandroid\u2019s <\/span>Sleep as Android<\/span><\/a> app. That app\u2019s API centralizes detection processing in a way that doesn\u2019t drain the battery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google is regularly updating and adding features to its <\/span>sleep and wellness software<\/span>, and now with this API opened up, we should hopefully be seeing a larger variety of improved app options in the Play Store. Devs interested in creating an app can check out the <\/span>API Documentation<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
