Sleep tracking app loses microphone access and paywalls features

🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- Develop an open-source sleep tracking app that guarantees core functionality remains free and offline-first.
- Create a browser-based dashboard that allows users to import sleep data from multiple apps to compare reliability and feature sets.
- Build a community-driven 'feature tracker' website that alerts users when previously free app features are moved behind paywalls.
