Baby monitor for Android
Hears a cry, not the fan.
Sova Nanny turns a spare Android phone into a baby monitor. It tells crying apart from other sounds on the phone itself, and wakes you when it matters, at home or away. No account, no ads, and keys we never receive.
Free to use. Two Android phones and a Wi-Fi network. In English, Polish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish.
Two phones, one Wi-Fi
One phone stays in the nursery and listens. The other stays with you. Pair them by scanning a code on the nursery phone, and the person next to it lets your phone in.
Made for the night
A monitor is only as good as its worst night. These are the things Sova does so that the night goes quietly.
Tells sounds apart
A sound classifier runs on the nursery phone and knows crying from babbling, speech or a noisy room. Only the answer travels.
Wakes you your way
Pick the vibration, its strength and a gentle tone. Alerts reach you at home over Wi-Fi and away over the internet.
Three ways to listen
Always, only when the room gets loud, or alerts only, where the nursery sends nothing until the baby cries.
Talk back and lullabies
Hold to talk to the nursery, or start a lullaby from your phone and let it stop by itself.
Watches itself
If the link drops or the nursery phone goes silent, you hear about it. A monitor that stopped watching is the one failure you must know.
Back after a restart
When the nursery phone restarts in the night, Sova comes back by itself, before anyone unlocks it. Some phones ask you to allow that once, and Sova shows you where.
Free, and Sova Pro
Everything you need for the night is free. Sova Pro is a single purchase on any parent phone, and it unlocks the nursery for the whole family, for good. You can try it for twenty minutes first.
