PixelBaby
A tiny pixel baby your whole family raises together. Everyone you invite cares for the same little one, feeding, cleaning, and playing in a shared real-time plaza, so keeping them thriving is something you do as a team and watch grow, day by day.
I built PixelBaby for my niece. She is arriving soon, and about a week after she is born I leave to study at Imperial College London, so I will be abroad through most of her early years. The app is one baby her whole family looks after together, me included from London, and something she and her family can keep.
PixelBaby gives your whole family one pixel baby to raise together. Everyone you invite by link cares for the same little one: feed, clean, rest, and play. It is cozy co-op rather than a race. Needs drain gently through the day and pause while the baby sleeps at night, so a family that just checks in now and then keeps up easily.
Hop into a shared, real-time plaza where each family member shows up as their own little character. Wander around, send hearts, and tend the baby together, and every bit of care shows up on everyone’s screen right away. The baby grows day by day and celebrates milestones along the way, and your family’s baby lives in your own private iCloud, shared only with the people you invite.
Everyone you invite cares for the same little one: feed, clean, rest, and play. Needs drain gently and pause overnight, so casual check-ins are enough to keep the baby thriving.
A shared, real-time plaza where each family member appears as their own character. Wander, send hearts, and tend the baby together, with care reflected on everyone’s screen at once.
Four simple needs: Fed, Clean, Rest, and Happy. A single tap tops one up a little, and a family board shows who has helped most today.
The baby grows day by day and celebrates milestones along the way. Give it a name, choose its look, and even set your app icon color.
Add the widget or start a Live Activity to check in at a glance. The gauges keep draining on their own and the baby’s mood updates through the day.
A family co-op pixel pet taken from idea toward the App Store: the shared baby, the real-time plaza, the care loop, and the widgets and Dynamic Island, designed and coded end to end. No accounts to create, no ads, and no tracking. Your family’s baby lives in your own private iCloud and is shared only with the people you invite.
