Cribside turns two Apple devices into a beautiful, secure baby monitor. Video streams directly between your phones, end-to-end encrypted — never through a cloud, because there isn't one.
Designed for 2 a.m. — dark, calm, and glanceable from the moment you open it.
HD video with night-friendly low-light boost, pinch to zoom, and snapshots straight to your photo library.
On-device cry detection wakes you — and if you don't respond, your phone escalates with sound and vibration until you do.
Hold to talk to your baby, start white noise or rain from your side of the house, and let Wind-Down fade light and sound together.
A warm, adjustable glow in the nursery — and a dimmed all-night dashboard on your nightstand.
Wake up to a quiet timeline of the night — every cry, every sound, your longest stretch of peace.
Point one phone at the other's screen and they're paired — encrypted with keys that exist only on your two devices.
Cribside has no servers. Your baby's video can't leak from a cloud that doesn't exist, can't train an AI, and can't be watched by anyone but you. We couldn't see it if we wanted to — and we don't want to.
If you can take a photo, you can set up Cribside.
Your iPhone, and any old iPhone or iPad for the nursery. Family Sharing covers both.
The nursery phone shows a code on screen. Scan it with yours. That's the whole setup.
Prop the nursery phone on a stand, plug it in, and rest easy — you'll hear everything that matters.
Baby gear is expensive enough. Your monitor shouldn't bill you monthly.
Hardware monitors: $40–200. Camera subscriptions: $60+/year. Cribside: one coffee.
