The baby monitor that stays home.
Two devices, two taps: Pilu turns an old phone and yours into a full baby monitor — with video, noise alerts and an alarm that actually wakes you.
Device to device · encrypted · no internet needed
Connected in two taps
Pick roles
One device stays with the baby, one goes with you. Pilu remembers the answer — the question never comes back.
Scan the QR code
The code pairs the devices and pins their fingerprint. From the second time on, they find each other by themselves.
Sleep. Or be woken.
Green means: genuinely quiet. And if not, Pilu wakes you — on noise, on motion, on a lost connection.
What makes Pilu different
No cloud, no account
Video and audio travel directly from device to device through your Wi-Fi. No sign-up, no servers, no recording — there is simply nothing that could end up anywhere.
End-to-end encrypted
Protected with the technology of secure video calls. The QR code pins the device fingerprint at pairing — nobody can slip into the middle.
Silence you can trust
Green in Pilu means: the connection is provably fresh and the nursery is genuinely quiet. If it drops, an alarm overrides silent mode and Do Not Disturb.
Audio before video
When Wi-Fi gets weak, Pilu pauses the picture first — never the sound. A baby monitor that goes quiet on bad reception would be the wrong one.
Built for long nights
Audio-only mode, eco with the camera truly off, battery forecasts in plain words, and a night display that dims itself and wakes on every event.
Travel mode
Hotel, camping, grandma’s: an Android device creates its own small network — no router, no internet. Two QR codes and you’re set.
A look inside the app
Calm, plain language, one clear question per screen — designed for 3 a.m., one-handed.
Two devices, one baby monitor — the idea in one screen.
The whole start is a single question: which device is this?
Video and sound, or audio-only to save battery — chosen once.
Pair with a QR code — encrypted and pinned to exactly this device.
Screenshots show the German app — Pilu’s interface currently ships in German, more languages are planned.
What Pilu never does
The most important features are the ones missing — on purpose. None of this is a setting you could forget. It’s how Pilu is built.
Why parents can trust Pilu
Privacy by architecture
Not a promise, a construction: with no server and no account, there is nothing that could leak, be breached or be sold.
A real company behind it
Pilu is built by Deep Platforms GmbH in Germany — with a legal notice, GDPR obligations, and a name attached to the promise.
Honest by design
Pilu tells you what it cannot do — no remote access, no recordings. A baby monitor should earn trust, not demand it.
Frequently asked questions
Does Pilu need internet?
No. The two devices connect directly through your Wi-Fi — the router doesn’t need an internet connection. There is no cloud server in between, so Pilu keeps working even when the internet is down.
What happens if the connection drops?
Exactly what should: you see a full-screen red alert with the time it dropped, and a loud alarm overrides silent mode and Do Not Disturb. Pilu then reconnects automatically — usually in under ten seconds.
Can someone on the same Wi-Fi watch?
No. The stream is end-to-end encrypted, and at pairing your device pins the counterpart’s cryptographic fingerprint from the QR code. A stranger’s device cannot slip into the middle — not even on the same network.
Does an iPhone work as the nursery unit?
Yes. With video the screen stays on (an Apple rule) — Pilu dims it automatically. Audio-only runs even when locked. An Android device fits the nursery best, since it streams with the screen off.
Does Pilu record?
Never. No recordings, no cloud, no account, no analytics. What happens at night stays on your devices — technically it cannot be any other way.
Does Pilu work on the road, say in a hotel?
Yes. An Android device creates its own small network — no router, no internet, random password. The second device joins via QR code. (Travel mode is part of Pilu Full.)
