What is Phonitor?

Phonitor turns the spare iPhone, iPad or Mac you no longer use into a powerful home security camera. No extra hardware, no mounts, no sign-up and no ads. Set it on a shelf, point it at the room and watch from your everyday iPhone, wherever you are.

It hears what matters. Sound Alerts tell you the moment the camera hears a baby crying, a dog barking, a smoke alarm, glass breaking and more, even when the app is closed. Tap the alert and you land right on that moment. Recognition runs on the camera itself; no audio is uploaded.

It looks sharp. Live video up to 2K at 60fps with very little delay, night vision that stays clean under dim light, and the ultra-wide lens on supported devices. Recordings stay on the camera device, laid out on a clear timeline with event markers, so any moment is a tap away. Trim a clip and share it anywhere.

It's built for the whole family. With Family Group, up to 6 people set up and watch cameras together, and one subscription covers everyone. Each camera has its own switch, and you can see who's watching.

It's made to run around the clock. Smart power use and reduced heat keep an old phone going on a charger day and night. Set up a camera once and it shows up on all your Apple devices automatically.

Free to download, with no ads. Pro unlocks unlimited viewing, Sound Alerts, Family Group, two-way talk, clip export and background viewing, with a 7-day free trial.
