Smart wake, not spam.
BabyRadar tells a real cry apart from the white-noise machine, the radiator, and the cat, so you only wake for a real cry.
A calmer night monitor · 3-day free trialThe nursery is quiet.
The nursery is quiet.
Sleep while it listens.
Smart cry alerts on a phone you already own, iPhone or Android. Cry detection wakes you only when it matters, with no camera, no cloud recordings, and no extra hardware. Start with a 3-day free trial.
How it works
Three minutes to set up.
- 01
Dock a spare phone or tablet in the nursery.
An idle iPhone, iPad, or Android works. Plug it in, open BabyRadar, pick Monitor. It learns your room on the first night.
- 02
Pair your phone with a 6-digit code.
Open the app on your phone, tap Viewer, enter the code. Pair as many viewers as you want.
- 03
Sleep.
If the baby cries, a push notification wakes you. Tap to listen in live, from any room.
What it does
Fewer reasons to check the crib.
The sleep diary writes itself.
Wake up to last night's timeline: sleep windows, cry episodes, settle time. Event lookback included.
Hear the nursery from any room.
One-tap live listen, straight from the nursery phone to yours. And replay the audio around any event.
Two parents, one nursery.
Pair as many viewers as you want. Both parents get cry alerts and can listen in live.
Tuned to your room.
It learns your room on the first night, so the white-noise machine and the fan don't set off a false alarm.
No cloud recordings. Ever.
Cry detection runs on your phone. Live audio is a direct encrypted relay between paired devices — nothing is stored in the cloud.
See it on a real phone.
Quiet by default. Loud when it matters. Real screens from a paired Monitor + Viewer.
Privacy
We can't hear your baby.
Nothing is recorded. The only ears on your nursery are yours.
- The listening happens on your phone
- BabyRadar figures out cries, stirs, and quiet right on the phone in the nursery. No audio leaves your house to be analyzed.
- Live listen, never recorded
- When you tap to listen in, audio goes from the nursery phone to yours. Nothing is saved, played back, or kept around.
- No camera. Nothing in the crib.
- Just a phone on the dresser. That's the whole setup.
- A sleep diary, not a doctor
- BabyRadar tracks sounds and writes a sleep timeline. It doesn't measure breathing or anything medical.
