Nocta

Hears the cry. Soothes before you wake.

Nocta listens through your iPhone's microphone at night, recognizes crying on the device and starts a soothing sound by itself. It adjusts the volume gently, keeps a diary of the night and learns which sounds help your baby.

Frequently asked questions

Is my baby's audio recorded or uploaded?

No. Audio is analyzed in the moment on your iPhone and is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere. Nocta works fully offline. See the Privacy Policy.

Why is there an orange dot in the status bar?

That is iOS telling you the microphone is in use, which is exactly what Nocta does while a night is running. It disappears when you stop the night.

Where should I put the iPhone?

At least 2 metres (6 feet) from the crib, screen down or on a stand, with the bottom speaker unobstructed. Start quiet: a gentle level is enough.

The sound stopped in the middle of the night.

A phone call pauses the sound and resumes it afterwards. Very low battery or another app taking over audio can stop it. Keep the phone charging overnight and do not close Nocta from the app switcher.

Does it work with headphones or a Bluetooth speaker?

Yes. Sound follows your current audio output. If headphones disconnect, the sound continues through the speaker so the night is not interrupted.

How does Nocta decide which sound to play?

By default it plays the sound you selected in the stream. With Nocta+ and Auto-pick enabled, it plays the sound that has calmed your baby fastest in the past. After enough nights the best sound is offered first.

How do I cancel Nocta+?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Nocta+. See the Terms of Use.

Is Nocta a baby monitor?

No. Nocta is a comfort tool, not a monitor and not a medical device. It does not replace supervision.
