Local-only by design
Your devices connect directly over Apple's peer-to-peer transport. No backend, no cloud, no router required, and nothing to breach.
No cloud · On your devices
A baby monitor that never touches the internet.
LIL1 turns two of your own iPhones or iPads into a private baby monitor. Audio, and video on demand, stream directly between your devices. The feed only ever lives on your two devices.

iOS 17+ · iPhone & iPad · Free to try, then a one-time purchase.
No cloud · On your devices
Built to keep your baby's room private
No backend, no cloud, no third-party network service. Just two of your devices, talking directly.
Encrypted & PIN-paired
The connection is always encrypted, and a one-time 6-digit PIN means only your second device can ever connect.
Audio always, video on demand
Lightweight live audio is the default. Pull up the video stream only when you want to take a look.
Battery- & range-aware
Audio-only sips power for long nights. Video is fetched on demand so you stay connected for longer.
Works with no internet
Same Wi-Fi, or just nearby with Wi-Fi + Bluetooth on, a direct link forms even with no router and no internet.
Apple-native, no SDKs
Built entirely on Apple frameworks. No third-party dependencies, no analytics SDKs, nothing phoning home.
A calmer kind of monitor
Up and running in under a minute. Two devices, one PIN, no setup account.
Pick a role
Open the app on both devices and choose Baby on one, Parent on the other.
Pair with a PIN
The baby unit shows a 6-digit PIN. Enter it on the parent device to pair securely.

Live audio starts immediately. Tap to pull video whenever you want a peek.

The most private monitor is one that collects nothing
LIL1 has no server to send anything to. We don't have your data because the data never leaves your devices.
- No account, no sign-up, no email required.
- No cloud, no servers, no internet routing of your feed.
- No analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifiers.
- Microphone and camera are used only to stream directly to your other device.
Your baby's feed only ever lives on your two devices.
Common questions
Does LIL1 use the cloud or the internet?
No. LIL1 has no server and no cloud. Audio and video stream directly between your two devices over Apple's local peer-to-peer transport, so the feed never touches the internet.
Do I need an account or a subscription?
No account, no sign-up, and no subscription, ever. LIL1 is a one-time purchase, with no recurring fees and nothing to renew.
How much does LIL1 cost, and can I try it first?
Every monitoring session gives you a free 10-minute preview, so you can pair your two devices and check the audio and video quality before you decide. To monitor without the time limit, unlock the full version with a one-time purchase of €2.99 / $2.99. One purchase, no subscription, and it works on every device signed in to your Apple Account.
What do I need to use it?
Two devices running iOS 17 or later, in any mix of iPhone and iPad. One acts as the baby unit, the other as the parent unit.
Does it work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. On the same Wi-Fi the devices connect directly, and even with no router they can link up when nearby over Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth. No internet is required.
Is my baby's audio or video recorded or stored?
No. The microphone and camera are used only to stream live to your other device. Nothing is recorded, uploaded, or routed through us or any third party.
How are the two devices paired, and is it secure?
The baby unit shows a one-time 6-digit PIN. Enter it on the parent device to pair. The connection is always encrypted, so only your second device can connect.
Bring the monitor home, without bringing it online
LIL1 is a one-time download. Use your own devices, keep your own data.
