Knows a cry
It tells a baby’s cry from other sounds, right on the phone. A dog or a door won’t wake you.
Baby monitor app · iPhone and Android
A baby camera from what you already own.
An old phone or a cheap Wi-Fi camera watches the crib, you watch on yours. It knows a cry and wakes you. The video never leaves your home Wi-Fi.

From the crib to your phone. Nowhere else.

In the nursery
The phone works too: switch between Picture and Sound only, mute it, aim the camera, take a photo or go to Night. The picture is the paid part (bought once, or monthly with 14 days free); sound and cry alerts are free. Mamoon alerts you with your phone’s own notification sound; on silent or Do Not Disturb a notification only lights up or vibrates. Recordings: cry by the_yura (CC0), dog by Amada44 (CC BY-SA 3.0).
Features
What Mamoon does
Live view
Live video on top, the room’s status underneath. You can read the color from across the kitchen.
Muted isn’t off
Turn the sound off and go to sleep. A cry still wakes you, even with the phone locked.
Night mode
The screen dims almost to black. The clock and the status glow just enough to read from your pillow.
Morning overview
Twelve hours on one line, with a snapshot of every sound and every cry.
When it can’t hear, it says so
If the Wi-Fi drops, the screen turns gray and alerts you within 20 seconds.
Old phone as the camera
By the crib it shows who’s watching and how long the battery will last.

Live view
See your baby, even in the dark
Wi-Fi cameras have night vision, so you see the baby clearly in a pitch-dark room. An old phone needs a little light; a night light will do. Either way, the picture goes over your own Wi-Fi.

Setup

All you need is the phone in your drawer, or a Wi-Fi camera you already have.
Privacy and security
Private and secure by design
A camera in the nursery is the most private camera in your home. So Mamoon is built without anything that could look in: no cloud to break into, no account to leak, nothing that identifies you.
- Nothing to breachNo Mamoon server that holds your video, no account database, no copy of your video anywhere but your home. A hacked company can’t leak what it never had.
- Paired, not openA phone needs the pairing code before it gets any picture or sound. Repeated wrong codes are locked out.
- Your passwords stay on your phoneThe camera’s password never leaves your phone. Away from home, the free Tailscale VPN encrypts everything end to end.
Mamoon never…
- sends the picture or the sound to a server. It goes over your own Wi-Fi, from the camera to your phone. We never see it.
- asks you to sign up. No account, no email. You pay through the App Store or Google Play, and that’s all.
- shows ads or tracks you. It counts a few things anonymously (setup steps, errors), with no ID, and you can switch that off.
- shows Calm when it can’t hear. The screen turns gray, and you know within 20 seconds.
- listens in the cloud. The cry is recognised on your phone itself.
- needs the internet. Your home Wi-Fi is enough, even with the internet down.

Mamoon is built for home Wi-Fi. Away from home, it works over the free Tailscale VPN, which encrypts the connection too.

Questions
What parents ask first
How much does it cost?
Sound and cry alerts are free, forever. The picture is a one-time purchase: $29.99 once, yours for good. Or take it monthly: $3.99 a month, with the first 14 days free and the option to cancel any time in the App Store or Google Play. Post about Mamoon and the lifetime price drops by 40%. Only the watching phone pays: the phone or camera by the crib costs nothing, and one purchase covers every device on the same Apple or Google account. No ads.
How old can the phone be?
An iPhone XS, XR or newer with iOS 17, or Android 8 and up. By the crib, a phone you no longer use is ideal.
Why not just buy a video monitor?
You can. A dedicated video monitor runs $50–400 and only watches. With Mamoon the camera is an old phone for nothing, or a Wi-Fi camera from about $20 that also sees in the dark and can be aimed from your phone. The parent screen is your own phone, so there’s nothing extra to charge, and it tells a cry from other sounds. Mamoon is $29.99 once, for life, less than almost any video monitor. All the options compared.
Can I see the baby at night?
Yes. A Wi-Fi camera with night vision shows a sharp black-and-white picture even in a pitch-dark room. An old phone as the camera needs a little light, such as a night light.
Does it need the internet?
No. Your home Wi-Fi is enough, even with the internet down. Two iPhones can connect to each other directly, without a router. On the go, turn on a hotspot on one phone.
Do I need to buy a camera?
No. An old phone does the job. If you already have a Wi-Fi camera (TP-Link Tapo, Hikvision, Dahua, Imou or anything that speaks RTSP), Mamoon finds it on your network by itself.
Does it work with the screen locked?
Yes. Sound and alerts keep going with the screen locked or while you’re in another app. On iPhone the picture shrinks to a small window, and the Lock Screen shows that Mamoon is watching.
Will it wake me if my phone is on silent?
A cry arrives as an ordinary notification, even with the screen locked and the nursery muted in Mamoon. If the phone itself is on silent or Do Not Disturb, though, a notification only lights up or vibrates. For the night, leave the ringer on, or allow Mamoon through in your Sleep or Do Not Disturb settings.
What if the camera is switched off?
Mamoon notices a camera that sends nothing and says so, and opens the maker’s app in one tap so you can switch it on. As soon as the camera sends again, Mamoon reconnects by itself.
What else can it do?
One-tap photos, picture in picture, Siri and Shortcuts, iPad, VoiceOver and TalkBack, in English, Czech, German, Spanish, French and Polish. After any dropout it reconnects on its own.
When can I get it?
On Android, today: Mamoon is on Google Play. The iPhone version comes to the App Store soon; leave your email and we’ll write the day it’s out.
Baby’s asleep.
So can you.
Hear and see your baby from the next room. Sleep through everything that isn’t a cry.
