Offline baby monitor for iPhone & iPad
No cloud. No account. No internet. Cribbit turns two devices you already own into a baby monitor that never leaves your house — and it works even with the Wi-Fi off.
iOS & iPadOS 17+ · 100 beta places · testers keep the full unlock for life
“Multiple times now, the video has shown my son sleeping — while he was awake, right in front of me.”
A one-star review of a different baby monitor. This is the problem Cribbit was built to solve.No account to make, nothing to configure, nobody’s server involved.
An old iPhone or iPad on a charger, pointed at the cot. Cribbit keeps the screen dark so it does not light the room.
It shows a six-character code. Type it on the other device and they find each other — no account, no QR code, no sign-up.
Live picture and sound, a gentle nudge when the room gets loud, and an honest word the moment anything stops being live.
A real recording of the parent device: setup, pairing, and live video coming from a second iPhone in another room — over the local network, start to finish.
Every baby monitor claims to show you the room. Cribbit is the one that can prove what it is showing you is happening now.
Every frame carries the moment it was captured. A camera that has stopped is caught even while the network still looks healthy — Live, Stalled and Lost are three different things, and Cribbit says which one you are looking at.
On iPhone 12 and later, the two devices talk straight to each other over Wi-Fi Aware. No router, no hotspot, no hotel network to fight with.
Sound is classified on the device, by a model that ships with iOS. A slammed door, a dog and a passing siren do not wake you up.
Cribbit learns the room’s own quiet, then waits for noise that lasts. White-noise machines stop being a problem.
Picture in Picture keeps the feed floating over whatever else you are doing, and audio keeps running with the screen off.
There is no sign-up, no server and no analytics. Nothing is recorded, and there is nowhere for it to go if it were.
Soft periwinkle, rounded everything, and a screen that never flashes at three in the morning.
Cribbit is in TestFlight now, capped at 100 testers. Everyone who tests it and sends feedback gets the one-time unlock free for life when it ships — Picture in Picture, talk-back, lullabies, screen-off listening, all of it. One payment, never a subscription, and it works on every device your family owns.
Join the TestFlight beta You will need the TestFlight app, and two devices to try it properly.No. Cribbit works over your home Wi-Fi with no internet connection at all, and on iPhone 12 and later running iOS 26 it connects the two devices directly with Wi-Fi Aware — no router involved.
Two devices running iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. One stays in the nursery with its camera and microphone; the other stays with you. An old iPhone in a drawer is a perfect nursery unit.
Never. Audio and video travel straight between your two devices. There is no Cribbit server, no account, and nothing is recorded or stored.
Sound does. Video does not — iOS does not allow any app to use the camera in the background, so the nursery device needs to stay awake and plugged in. Cribbit says so plainly rather than pretending otherwise.
No. Live audio, live video and every alert are free forever. One optional payment unlocks background listening, Picture in Picture, talk-back and lullabies on every device your family owns.
No. Cribbit does not measure breathing, heart rate or oxygen, and makes no health claims. It is a monitor: it lets you see and hear the room.
