Cribside streams directly between your devices over WiFi. No internet, no cloud, no accounts — your video never leaves your home network.
Download on the App StoreOther baby monitors route your video through cloud servers. Cribside can't — because it was never designed to.
There are no servers. There is no cloud. Audio and video travel directly between your devices over your local WiFi.
No email, no password, no sign-in. Download the app, pair with a PIN, and you're monitoring. That's it.
Zero analytics. Zero tracking. We don't know who you are, how often you use the app, or anything about your baby.
H.264 video and AAC audio streamed in real time over your WiFi network.
Listen while using other apps. Audio keeps playing when you lock your screen.
Alerts for fussing and crying with configurable sensitivity. Real-time audio level display so you can see activity at a glance.
Connect multiple receivers at once. Both parents can watch from different rooms.
DTLS 1.2 with AES-256-GCM for video and audio, TLS 1.3 for control. X25519 key exchange with PIN-strengthened session keys.
Infrared-style camera mode for dark rooms. Auto-dims with a clock overlay. Fullscreen mode designed for 2am.
Keep the live feed visible in a floating window while you use other apps. Standard system PiP controls on iOS.
Pinch to zoom up to 5× on the live video. Pan when zoomed in. Double-tap to reset.
The monitor sends low-battery and critical-battery warnings to all receivers. Know before the camera goes dark.
Use the devices you already own. One app across the entire Apple ecosystem.
The full experience. Use as a monitor in the nursery or as a receiver anywhere in the house. Supports Picture-in-Picture, pinch-to-zoom, night vision, and background audio.
Watch the nursery on the big screen. Apple TV runs as a receiver with Siri Remote navigation, volume controls, and background audio playback. Launches straight into receiver mode.
Mac works as a receiver with keyboard PIN entry and resizable windows. Apple Watch receives crying and fussing alerts as time-sensitive notifications on your wrist.
No account required. Set up in seconds.
Download Cribside on two or more Apple devices. iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV.
Set one device in the nursery as the Monitor. Tap "Start Monitor" and a PIN appears.
On your other device, enter the PIN to connect. Live video and audio start instantly. If the connection drops, it reconnects automatically.
Because Cribside uses only your local network, it keeps working even when your ISP goes down. Set up a Personal Hotspot and you have a baby monitor anywhere — hotel rooms, cabins, grandma's house.
