One app. Two clear roles.

Choose the role for each phone. The child device captures audio, while the parent device plays the authenticated stream.

Read the setup guide

Child Device

Place this phone near the child to send audio to paired parent devices.

Parent Device

Keep this phone with you to hear audio from the child device.

See what the parent phone hears.

The six-step signal meter gives a calm, glanceable view of recent audio activity.

Quiet uses cyan. Loud sound uses blue. Text and bar count always reinforce the color.

Local by design.

Open Babyphone keeps its supported connection model simple and inspectable.

Network
Audio travels directly between paired phones on the same Wi-Fi or trusted local network.

A pairing code provides mutual authentication before encrypted audio starts.
