Nelumi: Contraction Timer, Kick Counter and Baby Monitor

Breathe through every wave, then rest a room away while your baby sleeps.

Nelumi is a contraction timer and labor tracker for the night labor begins, a kick counter for the quiet moments before it, and a baby monitor for the nights after. Time every wave with one tap and breathe instead of counting, then let a spare iPhone or iPad keep an ear on your baby while you rest a room away.

Nelumi on iPhone: Contraction timer, kick counter and baby monitor for iPhone and iPad
How it works

A contraction timer that stays calm when you can't

Tap once when a contraction builds and again when it eases. Nelumi keeps the length and the gap of every wave, draws them as a gentle chart and shows your last hour at a glance, so you can breathe instead of counting. Missed one? Add it. Tapped by mistake? Undo it. From early practice waves like Braxton Hicks to the real thing, every one is kept.

Enter the rule your midwife or doctor gave you, like 5-1-1, and this labor tracker tells you when its pattern appears met, with the people you want to call one tap away. The labor contraction timer also lives on your Lock Screen, so you can start and stop a contraction without unlocking your phone, and when it is time to go you can share a clear PDF of your labor with your midwife or doctor.

A baby kick counter for the quiet moments before you meet

Settle in and tap for each kick. Every session becomes a small ring, so you can see how long your baby took to reach your count and get to know their rhythm. A kick counter that keeps fetal movement simple to follow, and a few quiet minutes that belong to just the two of you. If your baby's movements ever feel different from usual, contact your midwife or doctor.

A baby monitor made from the devices already in your home

When your baby is here, a spare iPhone or iPad becomes a quiet baby station in your baby's room, and the iPhone or iPad you keep with you becomes the parent monitor. Pair them by scanning the moon on the station's screen or by typing its short code, and the old phone in the drawer has a new job.

A baby camera that stays dark and silent in your baby's room

Hear the room live and look in through the baby camera whenever you want to see, without a bright screen keeping anyone awake. The station stays dark and silent, with a soft glow only if you want one, and lets your phone know when it is unplugged, low on battery or getting warm.

A cry detector that lets you rest a room away

Close your eyes down the hall. The cry detector listens in your baby's room and alerts you on your Lock Screen when crying keeps going. With an Apple Watch, the same alerts reach your wrist while your iPhone is locked: the watch simply shows your iPhone's notifications.

Know the moment the baby monitor can no longer hear the room

If the link between the devices drops, your phone sounds an alarm when its sound is on, so you know when Nelumi can no longer hear the room instead of wondering. Each morning, Nelumi gives you a gentle look back at the night: the quiet stretches, the alerts and any gap in the connection.

Nelumi: Know the moment the baby monitor can no longer hear the room
Starts from

A wave is building and nobody remembers when the last one started. Soon after, a baby is asleep down the hall and you need rest too.

The reading

The length and gap of every wave, a note when your midwife's rule appears met, and later an alert on your Lock Screen when crying keeps going.

Between your own devicesThe room's sound and picture go straight from the station to your phone or iPad, encrypted, and are never recorded.
Fifteen languagesEvery screen speaks yours, with a picker inside the app.

In our words

What Nelumi changes about labor and the nights after.

The next contraction becomes something you breathe through, not something you count.

Breathe instead of counting

Nobody has to add up minutes between waves while you hold the phone.

Your midwife's rule, kept for you

The quiet minutes on the sofa become a small ring you can look back on.

A ring for every kick session

You sleep down the hall, and your Lock Screen tells you when crying keeps going.

A room away

The station stays dark and silent, so the only glow in the room is the one you chose.

Dark in the baby's room

The next wave could be one you breathe through instead of counting.

On the App Store soon

Calm that is honest about its limits.

Not a medical device

Nelumi is not a medical device and does not replace supervision. It does not watch breathing, heart rate or any vital sign, and the contraction timer follows the plan your midwife or doctor gave you, so call them whenever you are unsure.

Your baby's room stays yours

Sound and picture travel only between your own paired devices, encrypted with keys they make when you pair them, and are never recorded or stored. There is no Nelumi account and no Nelumi server.

It tells you when it cannot hear

An alert depends on your Wi-Fi, the walls between rooms, battery and settings. When the link drops, your phone sounds an alarm when its sound is on, and the station warns you when it is unplugged or low on battery.

For the nights you would rather rest than watch.

You are timing contractions in a notes app and losing count between waves.
Your midwife gave you a rule like 5-1-1 and you do not want to do the math mid-wave.
You have a spare iPhone or iPad in a drawer and a baby asleep in the next room.
You want to rest a room away and still know when crying keeps going.

Baby monitor and cry detector

When your baby is here, a spare iPhone or iPad becomes a quiet baby station in the nursery, and the iPhone or iPad you keep with you becomes the parent monitor. Pair them by scanning the moon on the station's screen or by typing its short code.

Hear the room live, look in through the baby camera whenever you want to see, and rest a room away. The cry detector alerts you on your Lock Screen when crying keeps going. With an Apple Watch, the same alerts reach your wrist while your iPhone is locked: the watch simply shows your iPhone's notifications. If the link between the devices drops, your phone sounds an alarm when its sound is on, so you know when Nelumi can no longer hear the room.

The station stays dark and silent in your baby's room, with a soft glow only if you want one, and lets your phone know when it is unplugged, low on battery or getting warm. Each morning, Nelumi gives you a gentle look back at the night.

Two devices, one calm home

The baby monitor needs two devices: the station in your baby's room and the device you keep with you. They connect over your home Wi-Fi, or directly when they are close together. The room's sound and picture travel only between your own devices, encrypted with keys they make when you pair them, so your baby's room stays yours.

Good to know

Nelumi is not a medical device and does not replace supervision. The contraction timer follows the plan your midwife or doctor gave you, so call them whenever you are unsure.

Requires iOS 17 or later. The contraction timer, the kick counter and the baby station work without a subscription. The parent monitor needs Nelumi Monitor, bought on the parent's device, with details shown in the app before any purchase.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is Nelumi a medical device?

No. Nelumi is not a medical device and does not replace supervision. It does not monitor breathing, heart rate or any other vital sign. Follow the plan your midwife or doctor gave you, call them whenever you are unsure, and check on your baby in person.

What do I need for the baby monitor?

Two devices: a spare iPhone or iPad that stays in your baby's room as the baby station, and the iPhone or iPad you keep with you as the parent monitor. They connect over your home Wi-Fi, or directly when they are close together, and both need iOS 17 or later.

Is my baby's room recorded or uploaded?

No. The room's sound and picture travel only between your own paired devices, encrypted with keys they make when you pair them. Nelumi never records or stores them, and there is no Nelumi server for them to pass through.

How does the contraction timer know when to call?

It does not decide for you. Enter the rule your midwife or doctor gave you, like 5-1-1, and Nelumi tells you when its pattern appears met, with the people you want to call one tap away. When you are unsure, call them anyway.

What happens if the connection drops?

Your phone sounds an alarm when its sound is on, so you know when Nelumi can no longer hear the room. The station also lets your phone know when it is unplugged, low on battery or getting warm.

Can the alerts reach my wrist?

Yes. With an Apple Watch, the cry alerts reach your wrist while your iPhone is locked, because the watch simply shows your iPhone's notifications.

What does Nelumi Monitor unlock?

The parent monitor: the room's live sound and picture on your phone, the cry alerts and the morning look back. The contraction timer, the kick counter and the baby station work without it, one purchase on the parent's device covers every station, and the details are shown in the app before any purchase.

When can I download Nelumi?

Soon. Nelumi is in its final checks before the App Store, and the download buttons on this page switch on the day it is live.
