Privacy first
Timmy should process only what the connection needs: no advertising or tracking SDKs, no cloud recordings, and data flows you can read about.
Quick answers
Baby Monitor Timmy at a glance
The essential facts about the product I build and maintain.
What is Baby Monitor Timmy?
- Timmy is an app that turns two Android or iOS smartphones into a baby monitor with audio and optional live video.
How does Timmy work?
- One phone stays near your baby and the other stays with you. The devices pair with a short code and send media encrypted over WebRTC.
What data does Timmy create?
- Timmy needs no account and uses no tracking or ads. It creates no cloud recordings; temporary encrypted connection data is deleted after the connection is established.
What does Timmy cost?
- You can try Timmy free for 30 days. Afterwards, choose monthly Premium or a one-time purchase; your app store shows the local price before you buy.
Who is Timmy for?
- Timmy suits parents and caregivers who have two compatible phones and want a simple baby monitor without an account, tracking, or separate hardware.
I live in Zurich, am married, and have two daughters. Professionally, I work as a software developer at Zürcher Kantonalbank. Timmy started with a simple wish: I wanted a baby monitor whose technology and data flows I could understand myself.
I implement the app entirely with AI assistance. I set the direction: concepts, architecture, code review, privacy, security, and releases remain my decisions.
- 15+ years in software engineering reliable systems in environments where care matters
- MSc TU Munich + ETH Zurich CAS Data Management Systems and Big Data
- No tracking, no cloud recordings documented security architecture, not a black box
Technology with readable boundaries
I keep the security core separate. Pairing, signaling, and backend boundaries live there so they can be checked.
AI with human review
AI helps me build faster. What goes into the app is still my decision after review.
