A baby monitor that fits in your suitcase.
Two phones, paired in a minute. No camera. No account. No subscription. Works in any hotel, Airbnb, or your in-laws’ spare room.
Designed for parents who don’t pack a baby cam.
We built this because the third time we packed a baby monitor into a suitcase, the cardboard box took up half the bag and the parent unit died on day two. Then there was the hotel that wanted us to install their app. Then the Airbnb that wanted us to plug into their network camera. We got home and ordered an old iPhone off Marktplaats instead.
Babyfoon is the smallest possible thing that does the job. Open the app on your phone. Open it on a second phone. Scan the QR code that appears. Walk to the terrace. If she stirs, you’ll hear her. If you want to sing her back to sleep, hold the button and sing. If you’re at the pool and your partner takes over, they listen on theirs without unpairing yours. That’s the entire product.
Audio is encrypted on the device before it leaves. We can’t hear it. The hotel WiFi can’t hear it. It runs peer-to-peer when both phones are on the same network — which they are, in a small flat — and falls back to a relay when they aren’t. There is no account. We don’t know who you are. We don’t want to.
It works at home, too. If you’ve got an old phone in a drawer it makes a decent permanent monitor. We don’t make a thing of it because the magic is in the suitcase.
Nineteen euros, once.
You’ll use a baby monitor for two or three years. Charging you every month for that didn’t sit right. Pay once, use it until you don’t need it. There’s a 7-day free trial. Family Sharing works.
The competing audio-only apps go for €5–9 a month forever. We did the math too.
