Night Ear turns a spare phone into a baby monitor that pings your laptop. When the phone hears a sound in the kids' room, a chime plays in your headphones.
How it works
Open this page on a phone, choose Listener. It shows a pair code.
Open this page on your laptop, choose Receiver, type the code.
Any crying or calling out plays a chime in your headphones. Take them off and go.

Nothing sent yet.
Plug the phone in and leave it near the kids. After 15 seconds the screen goes black so it won't light up the room. Tap it to see this page again.
If the phone locks, listening stops. The laptop warns you within 11 minutes if that happens.
