It's happening. After a year of development, testing, and way too much coffee, BabyProof is launching next week. Here's everything you need to know.
The Schedule
Monday: Early access opens. If you signed up for our waitlist, you'll get a download link first thing in the morning. We're rolling out in waves, so if your invite doesn't arrive by noon, it's coming — we're just staggering to make sure the servers don't melt.
Tuesday: Our full feature walkthrough video goes live on the blog and social channels. We'll show you exactly how to scan a room, read your Room Score, and use the fix recommendations. It's about 8 minutes long and covers everything.
Wednesday: Live Q&A on our social channels. The team will be answering questions about the app, the technology, baby-proofing in general — whatever you want to know. We're parents too, and we're happy to get into the weeds.
Thursday: Partner deals go live. We've worked with several baby safety brands to offer discounts on recommended products directly through the app. When BabyProof suggests a cabinet lock or outlet cover, you'll be able to buy it at a discount right from the recommendation.
Friday: Public launch. The app goes live on the App Store and Google Play for everyone. No waitlist needed.
What you get at Launch
Room scanning with AI-powered hazard detection. Age-adjusted safety scoring. Personalized fix recommendations. A whole-home dashboard that tracks your progress across rooms.
The core features are free. You can scan rooms, get scores, and see hazard breakdowns without paying anything.
- Premium features (monthly or annual subscription) add things like:
- Unlimited room scans (free tier has a monthly limit)
- Detailed product comparisons for recommended fixes
- Historical tracking to see how your scores change over time
- Priority access to new features and detection updates
- Family sharing so both parents and grandparents can see the dashboard
We priced the premium tier to be less than a single cabinet lock per month. We genuinely want this to be accessible.
What we Need From you
Honest feedback. We've tested the app with hundreds of beta users, but launch is a different animal. Things will break. Some hazards will get flagged incorrectly. Some won't get flagged at all.
We have a feedback button right in the app. Use it. Tell us what's working, what's not, and what you wish we'd add. Every piece of feedback goes directly to the team — no filtering, no PR layer.
- We're especially interested in hearing about:
- False positives (things flagged as hazards that aren't)
- False negatives (real hazards that we missed)
- Usability issues (confusing flows, unclear recommendations)
- Edge cases (unusual room layouts, uncommon furniture, accessibility needs)
Our Commitment
We're not going to launch and disappear. Updates are planned monthly for the first six months, with new detection capabilities, expanded product databases, and improved accuracy.
We're also publishing our safety data. The anonymized, aggregated data from scans will be shared publicly — what hazards are most common, how scores improve over time, which rooms are most dangerous. We think this kind of data should be available to everyone working on child safety, not locked inside our servers.
Why we Built This
Every member of our team is a parent. We built BabyProof because we wanted it ourselves. We looked around for an app that could tell us if our homes were actually safe, and it didn't exist. So we made it.
This isn't a side project or a marketing gimmick. It's the thing we're putting all our energy into because we believe it can make a real difference. Home injuries are the leading cause of death and disability for young children, and most of them are preventable. If we can help even a fraction of parents catch hazards they'd otherwise miss, that's worth everything.
See you on launch day. Let's make homes safer.
