SleepBot was an alarm clock and sleep tracking application available for mobile devices and web. The mobile version worked with Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, while the web version ran through a device's web browser.
Jane Zhu, a member of the development team, wrote that SleepBot development had ceased.{{cite web |last1=Zhu |first1=Jane |title=Jane Zhu |url=http://janezhu.com/sleepbot |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200827053231/http://janezhu.com/sleepbot |archive-date=2020-08-27 |website=SleepBot -- Jane Zhu}} The last update, SleepBot 1.3 for iOS, was released in April 2016 to improve iOS 9.3 compatibility.{{cite web|title=SleepBot - Smart Cycle Alarm with Motion & Sound Tracker|url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleepbot-smart-cycle-alarm/id578829107?mt=8|website=App Store website|publisher=Apple Inc|access-date=13 July 2016|quote=What's new in version 1.3: Bug fixes for iOS 9.3|archive-date=23 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160623183851/https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleepbot-smart-cycle-alarm/id578829107?mt=8|url-status=dead}}.
Features
SleepBot included two main features: "sleep debt estimation" and "smart alarms."
- SleepBot's "sleep debt estimation" claimed to estimate how much sleep debt the user has incurred.Based on: {{cite news|last1=Tsukayama|first1=Hayley|title=Sleep-tracking apps: Do they work?|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/09/22/sleep-tracking-apps-can-they-really-help-you-rest-easy/|accessdate=13 May 2015|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=23 September 2014|archive-date=13 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150513002033/http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/09/22/sleep-tracking-apps-can-they-really-help-you-rest-easy/|url-status=live}}
- SleepBot's "smart alarm" feature used the device's accelerometer to dectect whether the user was in non-REM sleep and attempt to wake them up.
