RestUp
vs SleepWatch

SleepWatch is a long-running sleep tracker that scores your night against everyone else’s. RestUp scores your night against your own, and turns it into a reading for the day ahead.

The short answer
SleepWatch if you do not sleep in a watch, or want snoring, a smart alarm and how you rank.
RestUp if you want a morning readiness from your own baseline, with your health data kept on your phone.
Your night, compared with whom?
SleepWatchEveryone else.A score from 1 to 999 against the SleepWatch community’s nights, and how you rank by age and sex.
RestUpYou, last fortnight.Readiness out of 100 against your own last 14 nights, in plain words.
From SleepWatch’s premium page and score guide, 8 Oct 2026.
Where they agree

Both take your nights seriously.

  • Both run on iPhone with Apple Watch, and on Android with watches that write to Health Connect.
  • Sleep stages, sleeping heart rate and HRV, every night.
  • Bedtime reminders.
  • A free tier, a paid tier, and a seven-day way to try everything.
In the app

Where RestUp is different.

Measured against you, not a crowd.

A 59 ms HRV means little on its own. Next to your own 60 ms baseline it says “a normal night for you”. RestUp reads every signal against your last 14 nights.

SleepWatchThe SleepWatch Score is “universal across the SleepWatch community”, built by comparing your sleep with its community’s nights.

Last night, turned into today.

RestUp ends at a readiness score each morning: whether today is for pushing or for resting, with your movement and seven days of recovery signals underneath. The morning reading stays free after your first week.

SleepWatchFocuses on the night itself. We found no readiness or recovery score in its listing, site or help centre.
RestUp Today: Your body is ready for a steady day, 78 of 100, recovering well.

No account. Health data stays on your phone.

RestUp has no account, and computes every score on your phone. There is no community pool for your nights to join.

SleepWatchHas email-and-password accounts. Its App Store label links health and fitness data to you. Its privacy policy, dated 2018, says its services run from the United States and that it may sell or license de-identified data.
Where your data livesAll of it stays on your phone.
History, settings and remindersKept on your phone. Google backup doesn’t copy them, so RestUp starts fresh on a new phone.
Your health dataNever leaves your phone.
No accountNo sign-up, no email
No adsNone anywhere in the app
Read onlyNever changes what your watch recorded

Anonymous analytics about the app itself are the one thing that leaves your phone. You can switch them off.

A sleep debt, and your chronotype.

RestUp keeps a seven-night sleep debt and reads your chronotype from your nights, then tells you when tonight’s wind-down should start.

SleepWatchHas a 3-day sleep target and Sleep Rhythm, a measure of how consistently you sleep. We found no sleep debt or chronotype.
In fairness

SleepWatch works without a watch, and hears you snore.

RestUp needs a watch that records your nights. SleepWatch can track from an iPhone on the nightstand, which you start by hand.

  • Snore recording with a snore score and playback.
  • A smart wake-up alarm, sleep sounds and white noise.
  • See how your sleep ranks, worldwide and against people your age and sex.
  • 4.7 stars from about 328,000 US App Store ratings.

Which one should you pick?

Pick SleepWatch if

You do not wear a watch to bed, want snoring recorded or a smart alarm, or like seeing how your sleep compares with other people’s.

Pick RestUp if

You already sleep in your watch and want each night read against your own normal, turned into a plain answer for the day, with no account and your health data kept on your phone.
