The simplest way to follow the Ferber Method for sleep training.
Ferber Friend is a dedicated sleep training timer built specifically for the Ferber Method, also known as progressive waiting or check-and-console.
Instead of guessing intervals at 2am, follow a structured plan with built-in timers, automatic check-ins, and progress tracking.
Sleep train your baby with clarity and confidence.
DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE FERBER METHOD
Unlike generic baby sleep apps, this app is built entirely around the progressive waiting approach:
- Structured night-by-night sessions
- Automatic interval progression (3 → 5 → 10 → repeat 10)
- Clear guidance on what to do at each check-in
- Educational support for when and how to start
If you're committed to the Ferber Method, this gives you everything in one place.
GUIDED NIGHT MODE
Start a structured Night session and follow the plan step-by-step:
- Dynamic interval timer with real-time countdown
- Automatic progression between intervals
- Background notifications when it's time to check in
- "Baby Fell Asleep" quick end button
- Session summary with total time
No math. No guessing. Just follow the plan.
TRACK PROGRESS & BUILD CONSISTENCY

Consistency is the key to sleep training and seeing progress builds confidence.
