Little Bird

Hear the moment your baby needs you. Little Bird turns your iPhone into a private baby monitor that listens for your little one and taps your wrist the instant they cry — no camera, no cloud, no subscription. Cry detection runs entirely on your device, so your baby's sounds are never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. Set your iPhone near the crib, tap once, and go live your evening. When a sustained cry begins, Little Bird alerts you on your phone and buzzes your Apple Watch — even with the screen locked. WHY PARENTS LOVE IT •⁠ ⁠Your phone is the monitor — no cameras, base stations, or extra hardware to buy. •⁠ ⁠Apple Watch alerts — an instant wrist tap the moment crying starts, a live status screen, and a watch face complication. Press and hold on the watch to stop. •⁠ ⁠100% private — on-device detection only. Nothing is recorded or uploaded, ever. •⁠ ⁠Works offline — no wifi or account needed. It even listens in Airplane Mode. FEATURES •⁠ ⁠Live sound levels — watch the room's noise level rise and fall in real time as a meter on your Apple Watch, and see the whole night charted in Sleep History. •⁠ ⁠Sleep History — each session logs total sleep, the room's sound levels through the night, and every cry with a timestamp, all kept on your device. •⁠ ⁠Tunable detection — set how sensitive it is and how many seconds of crying must pass before you're alerted, so a cough or hiccup won't wake you. •⁠ ⁠Lock Screen & Dynamic Island — a calm indicator shows it's actively listening, even when your phone is locked. •⁠ ⁠Made yours — personalize it with your baby's name and a soft rose or sky-blue theme, beautiful in light and dark. •⁠ ⁠"Are you covered?" checks — Little Bird warns you if Do Not Disturb, silenced notifications, or a missing watch app could block an alert. WHY NOT A CAMERA MONITOR? No hardware to buy or mount. Nothing streamed or stored in the cloud. No wifi pairing, no accounts, no recurring fees. Just open the app and tap once — the iPhone you already own becomes a gentle set of ears. SIMPLE, HONEST PRICING One-time purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. Every feature — Apple Watch alerts, sound levels, Sleep History, themes, and on-device privacy — is included, with free updates. REQUIREMENTS iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Apple Watch is optional but recommended for wrist alerts. A GENTLE NOTE ON SAFETY Little Bird is a convenience aid, not a medical or safety device, and not a substitute for adult supervision. It can't guarantee it will catch every cry — detection can be affected by background noise, distance, volume, and device settings. Always keep your baby within safe reach and follow safe-sleep guidance. Made with love, for little ones and the parents who watch over them.
