How can we help?

Step-by-step pictures for the things people ask about most. The pulsing circles show exactly where to tap.

Connect

Connect your oximeter

Do this once. After that, NoctO₂ finds your device by itself whenever it’s on and nearby.

    Wear it and wake it up

    Put the oximeter on so its screen lights up. Most models switch off when they’re not on a finger.

  2. Devices tab with the Add a device button

    Devices → Add a device

    Open the Devices tab and tap Add a device. Allow Bluetooth if the iPhone asks.

  3. Search screen listing a nearby oximeter

    Tap your device

    It appears in the list within a few seconds. Tap it, and the Live tab starts showing readings.

Alarms

Make sure alarms can reach you

NoctO₂ alarms are iPhone notifications. Two switches in iPhone Settings make the difference at night.

    Send yourself a test

    In NoctO₂’s Alerts tab, use Test alert. Lock the iPhone and wait a few seconds: you should hear it.

Sleep & Do Not Disturb

Let alarms through your Sleep Focus

Sleep Focus and Do Not Disturb silence apps unless you allow them. Add NoctO₂ once and its alarms come through all night. Family members should do this too.

Overnight

Set up for a reliable night

A few habits make overnight monitoring dependable.

  1. 🔌
    On the charger,
    close to the oximeter
    1

    Charger and distance

    Keep the iPhone on its charger, within a couple of metres of the oximeter. Monitoring continues with the screen locked.

  2. Settings, Monitoring page with the Backup alert switch
    2

    Keep the backup alert on

    Settings (gear) → Monitoring → Backup alert. It warns you if readings stop arriving, for example if the ring slips off or the app is closed.

  3. Live tab showing readings and status checks
    3

    Check the Live tab before sleep

    The status chips should be green: Readings arriving, Backup alert on, Saving readings and the phone’s battery.

History

Recordings and history

Many oximeters record on their own. NoctO₂ downloads those nights and keeps everything in the History tab.

  1. History tab with the latest session and recordings on the device

    On the device

    Recordings stored on the oximeter appear under On the device, and download automatically when it connects. Tap Download to fetch one now.

  2. A recording with its night summary and chart

    Open a night

    Tap a recording for its summary: average and lowest SpO₂, time below your limit, pulse, and the full chart.

No oximeter yet?

Try Demo Mode

Settings (gear) → Demo Mode → choose a demo → Start demo. NoctO₂ plays a simulated night with real alarms, so you can try everything, family alerts included. Stop it on the same page.
