Why I built TinyWatch

Kasia Kołodziejczyk

founder of TinyWatch

I built TinyWatch around devices I already use. I am self-employed, work mainly from a laptop, and travel with my child. During a nap, I can leave an iPhone in the room and check the live view from my computer or another nearby screen.

I didn’t want to pack a separate baby monitor, receiver, and another charger. I also didn’t want to use FaceTime, WhatsApp, or another calling app as a makeshift room camera. Those apps are useful for calls, but they weren’t made for what I needed.

I wanted the video and sound to stay between my devices on the same Wi-Fi, without creating an account or sending anything to the cloud. That’s how TinyWatch started.
