Made by parents, for parents.
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Made by parents, for parents. Hear and see your baby on the iPhone, iPad or Apple silicon Mac you already own. Simple. Private. Pay once, no subscription.
A backup baby monitor on the iPhone or iPad you already own.
Leave one device with your baby and keep the other with you. Listen in, look in when you want to, and get an alert when the app hears crying. There's no account to make and nothing to subscribe to.
SIMPLE
Pick the device that stays with your baby, scan one code with the other, and you're set. Then tap Watch to see your baby, tap Mute while you walk in to check, or hold Talk to speak to them from another room.
RELIABLE BY DESIGN
We built BabyBackup around one idea: a monitor shouldn't stop without telling you. If the connection drops, the microphone stops, or the baby's device gets low on battery, it's designed to let you know and to try to reconnect on its own. A cry alert keeps sounding until you acknowledge it.
PRIVATE
Sound and video go only between your own devices, over your Wi-Fi network or a direct link between them. They're encrypted with a key that's created on the baby's device and shared only through the code you scan or the invitations you send. Nothing goes through our servers, and BabyBackup doesn't record sound or video. A photo is saved to your Photos only when you take one.
WHEREVER YOU ARE
Your devices can connect to each other directly, with no Wi-Fi network, cell service or internet. Wi-Fi just needs to be turned on. Bring it on trips, to a cabin or a campsite, or use it when the Wi-Fi goes down at home. Keep both devices charged and reasonably close, since range depends on your surroundings.
FOR EVERYONE WHO HELPS
Up to four devices can listen at once. Send a partner, a grandparent or a nanny an invitation link. Need an extra pair of hands? One tap quietly asks another listener to come in.
THE LITTLE THINGS
A nap timer you can see on each connected device. A dim night light in three colors. Night view for a dim room. Photos to keep.
AND THE PETS
You can listen to and watch a pet in another room the same way. Cry alerts are designed for babies.
ONE PRICE
Pay once. No subscription, no in-app purchases.
IMPORTANT
BabyBackup is a convenience tool for when you need a spare monitor. It is not a medical or safety device and does not replace being with your child. It does not monitor breathing or health. Crying detection can miss a cry or alert when there is none. Keep both devices charged and the app open, with the volume up, and keep checking on your child in person.
BabyBackup is a Point Rider product.
