Who does not know the situation: Christmas is around the corner, but it is nearly impossible to arrange a date at which everyone has time, or partners draw each others name and should not, or someone draws his own name all the time. That is where the Secret Santa App jumps in: In no time all members are added with individual colors and off you go! Afterwards, the device can be passed around so that everyone can look at their randomly assigned Secret Santa. To all those who can not be present, an email can be sent with the name of their participant. For the next year the last assignment is retained until a new draw is made. To not be assigned the same person ervery time, the current round can be saved and the result taken into account at the next draw. Have fun with your Secret Santa!

About

Baby Talkie

Features
Read full description

Baby Talkie turns two of your own devices into a simple, private baby monitor — with live video and audio. Leave one device in the room as the Baby Unit and keep the other with you as the Parent Unit. SEE AND HEAR THE NURSERY • Live video and audio stream from the Baby Unit to your Parent Unit over your home Wi‑Fi. • A low‑light mode helps you see in a dim room. Video is foreground‑only — it pauses if the Baby Unit's screen locks. • Prefer audio only? Turn the camera off and just listen. TALK BACK • Hold to talk and soothe your little one with your voice from the other room. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Video and audio travel directly between your two devices on your local network. • The connection is encrypted, and nothing is uploaded to any server or the cloud. • No account to create. Pairing is done in person with a QR code, so only your paired device can connect. STAY AWARE, CALMLY • On‑device sound detection can let you know when the room gets noisy. • A clear connection indicator never shows "live" when the stream has actually stopped. • A quiet, uncluttered interface for day and night — full Light and Dark mode. • English and Arabic, with full right‑to‑left support. BABY TALKIE PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Core monitoring and the sound and connection alerts are always free. Premium unlocks secondary extras such as additional caregivers and extended history. Baby Talkie Premium is an auto‑renewable subscription (monthly, 3‑month, or yearly). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and it renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://babytalky.netlify.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://babytalky.netlify.app/privacy.html PLEASE READ — WHAT BABY TALKIE IS NOT Baby Talkie is a convenience monitor, not a safety or medical device. It cannot detect breathing, illness, or emergencies, and it does not prevent harm. It never replaces an adult checking on a child in person. Monitoring can be interrupted at any time — for example by Wi‑Fi problems, a dead battery, or a locked phone — sometimes without warning. Please continue to supervise your child directly. Requires two devices on the same Wi‑Fi network. Terms : https://babytalky.netlify.app/terms. Privacy : https://babytalky.netlify.app/privacy.html
