The problem
You film them all the time, but their voice is lost in hundreds of videos.
A baby's voice changes in weeks. The first giggles and the first "Mama" are already on your phone, buried in long videos you'll never scroll back through.
What you get
Why people use Babbly
Finds their voice for you
Babbly listens to every video on your phone, newest first, and keeps only the seconds your child talks, babbles, sings or laughs. Videos with only adults talking give nothing.
Sorted by age
Add a birthday and every moment shows their age, like "7 months" or "2 years 3 months". Without one, moments are grouped by month.
Play them like stories
Tap a moment and they play one after another, full screen. Love the best ones and hide any that aren't yours.
The Babbly film (Pro)
One short 9:16 film of their voice growing up: the best moment from each stretch of time, with the age or date on screen. Save it to Photos or share it.
Private by design
A small sound model runs on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account, no ads and no tracking.
Older videos too
On iPhone, Babbly can also listen to videos kept only in iCloud, if you turn it on. It can include crying, for newborn memories, if you want it to.
Your data
Your videos never leave your phone. A sound model on the phone does the listening. No account, no ads, no analytics.
Babbly is for parents who film everything and never scroll back. It listens to your videos on your phone and finds every moment your child talks, babbles, sings or laughs, then lays them out by age, from first giggle to today. Finding and playing them is free. Pro is a one-time unlock that turns the best moments into one short film to keep and share.
Babbly questions
How does Babbly find my child's voice?
It listens to the sound of each video with an on-device sound model (YAMNet, by Google) that recognises sounds like a child speaking, babbling, singing or a baby laughing. It looks only at sound, not faces.
Does it recognise my child specifically?
No. Babbly finds children's voices in general, so another child in a video can show up too. You can hide any moment that isn't yours.
Are my videos uploaded?
No. Babbly listens to your videos on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and the app collects no data.
What does Pro add?
Finding and playing every moment is free. Pro, a one-time purchase with no subscription, makes the Babbly film: one 9:16 video of their voice with the age or date on screen, which you can save and share.
When is Babbly available?
Babbly is coming to the App Store first, then Google Play. Follow @shiponfriday on Instagram or YouTube to hear when it lands.
