## What is Baby Monitor by Sleep Cycle?

Trusted by millions, Sleep Cycle brings you an app dedicated to providing you with the tools and knowledge to improve your child’s sleep.

Baby Monitor by Sleep Cycle is a baby tracker that will help your child fall asleep faster, sleep better, keep regular sleep and wake times, develop a healthy sleep pattern, and relax before bedtime.


HOW IT WORKS
With our baby sleep app, you can easily track nap times and night sleep for children aged 0-36 months, and use our smart sleep schedule to identify the next sleep window. The smart schedule adapts to your baby’s specific needs depending on logged sleep and an algorithm based on scientific research.

Your logged sleep windows are presented in your child's personal sleep diary in which you get to understand the overall trends and view progress over time.

To provide you with the knowledge and know-how, Sleep Cycle offers a library full of science-based articles and tools, written by our very own sleep experts, containing everything you need to know to help your little one sleep through the night and develop healthy sleep habits.

Smartly timed notifications will help you and your toddler to keep sleep as regular as possible and remind you when it’s time to wind down before bedtime.

Our Baby Monitor also gives parents/caregivers the possibility to log the sleep together and ease the communication for parents about their child's sleep.

You can easily log sleep with an Apple Watch along with the phone app. You can switch between different children, adjust sleep sessions, and stay on top of your child's sleep schedule with notifications.

### 3/5 — Tracking your child’s sleep patterns

*2026-05-14*

Good app for tracking sleep patterns for child up to 3.  Helps identify sleep habits. Provides personalized recommendations for a healthy sleep schedule.  Remind you of wind down time before bedtime. 
Has seamless integration to your Apple Watch

### 2/5 — i love the design, but it needs a lot of work.

*2024-11-22*

truly a great app design. however, the predictions can be incredibly off creating nap times that i didn’t log so it leads to overlapping naps that won’t delete. also, the ios 18 update completely ruined the cry detector. it does not detect cries anymore. in addition to that, if your child falls asleep at (for example) 9pm the night before, and wakes up at 5:30am, but you forget to log it — the app will not let you log it. it assumes you mean the sleep started in the AM, not the PM, and the time scroll will not let you select PM. the app can be so incredibly frustrating when you have a baby just trying to log her sleep and more then half the time the app crashes out and you have to restart it. like i said, great design though! you can add nightly wake ups, the duration of those nightly wake ups (both without ruining the night sleep timer), and the predictions were accurate when the app didn’t default add naps i didn’t log. the cry detector was great too, (key word: WAS. the iOS 18 update ruined it) and even without the premium features, you could listen back to the cries from previous days. 

this app has potential to be incredible. it needs a TON of fixes, hence why i deleted it. but, if those errors were fixed, the app would be one of the best kid/baby sleep apps out there!

### 2/5 — Ganz okay

*2023-12-11*

Ich nutze die App nun seit Ende Oktober. Ich habe einen Sohn (2) und eine Tochter (3). Die Tochter hatte nie Probleme, aber ich trage es trotzdem ein, um einen Überblick zu behalten.
Ich trage jeden Tag einschlafen und aufwachen sowie Mittagsschlaf ein. Wenn mein kleiner nachts aufwacht trage ich das auch ein. In der ersten kostenlosen probewoche ging das leider (noch)  nicht, obwohl das mein Hauptproblem ist. Gibt ja nicht für alles sofort eine Lösung dachte ich und kaufte in froher Hoffnung das Abo. Jetzt Mitte Dezember ist das Problem jedoch nicht gelöst. Er wacht wie eh und je nachts auf für Stunden und ist hellwach, schreit rum und belastet alle anderen. Da er in die Krippe geht ist die Mittagsschlafzeit nicht ganz genau einzutragen, die wissen meistens auch nicht genau wann er einschläft und aufwacht. Ich peile immer so 1,5 Stunden in der App an. Den Mittagsschlaf wegzulassen ist keine Option, sonst schafft er den Tag nicht. 
Zudem werden die nächtlichen wachphasen total seltsam im System der App eingetragen sodass stundenweise Schlaf fehlt. Dann steht dort er hätte nur 5 Stunden nachts geschlafen von 19:00-06:30, bei einer wachphase von 2,5 Stunden. Hä?  Außerdem steht in der App er wäre 21 Monate dabei ist er 23 Monate alt. Das Datum habe ich richtig eingetragen … 
Ich habe die App für meinen Sohn geholt und für 30€ das Jahr gekauft. Ziemlich happige für das was man bekommt. Das Rauschen etc. Nutze ich nicht, dafür ist er schon zu groß. Vielleicht bei ganz kleinen Kindern hilfreich wobei die App ja eigentlich für Kinder 4+ Jahre ist… 
Im Nachhinein würde ich die App nie wieder kaufen. Hier wird mit der Hoffnung der geplagten Mütter Geld verdient mehr nicht. Habe eine Werbung auf TikTok gesehen und dachte ich probiere mal. Werbung funktioniert also !

### 2/5 — Shutting down

*2023-10-09*

Been using for a few days and only recently it’s keeps shutting down

**Developer response:** Hello there. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Please reach out to kids@sleepcycle.com and we will assist you further.

### 3/5 — Too Early

*2023-05-13*

I love the design of this app. It has all sorts of promise. But it’s not there yet. Caretaker sharing is broken. Push notification messaging doesn’t align with what’s happening in the app (prompting you to put your kid asleep when they’ve been asleep for an hour, etc). As a long-time Sleep Cycle user, I look forward to revisiting when it’s more polished.

**Developer response:** Hi. Thank you so much for being a loyal Sleep Cycle user and for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We truly appreciate your support over the years. 

We're glad to hear that you love the design of our app and see its potential. Speaking of potential, we have released a lot of improvements and new features lately, and welcome you back to revisit the app and share any feedback that you may have. You can always reach out to kids@sleepcycle.com with questions and feedback.
