A copilot for bedtime, evening after evening
faisdodo is with you at bedtime: it walks you through the evening routine step by step and times the nap, even on the lock screen. At night, an old phone set by the bed becomes a video baby monitor that keeps watch without recording anything. And to understand why your child isn’t sleeping, a sourced assessment hands you a clear plan.
Everything stays on your phone. No account, nothing to send.
A copilot in the evening, a plan when you want to understand
In the evening, one tap starts the routine and the app keeps the thread. The rest of the time, a short assessment spots what’s getting in the way, and each morning thirty seconds is enough for the curves to remember what tiredness makes you forget.
A copilot for the bedtime routine
One tap to start, and the app walks through the routine a step at a time: bath, pyjamas, story, cuddle, into bed. The same steps in the same order — it’s the habit that soothes, not a duration to hold.
A routine you shape
A template suggested by age, kept as is or made your own: keep what fits, drop the rest, set your order. Three variants for evenings that go sideways: the whole ritual, a short version, or away from home.
A timed nap
A simple timer, started with one tap, that you pause or stop whenever you like. We measure, we don’t judge: no length is “too much”. And the nap can join the day’s log, without inventing anything.
The timer keeps going, lock screen and all
Put the phone away: the timer stays visible on the lock screen, with the current step and a pause button. A Live Activity on iOS, a notification on Android. You stay with your child, not in front of a screen.
A video baby monitor that watches with you
An old phone set by the bed films the room; yours shows the picture and tells you if something stirs. Night vision in the dark, and gentle ways to soothe from afar: a lullaby, the night light, or just your voice. Nothing is recorded — the video passes between your devices, encrypted.
Gentle nudges, at their hours
The nap, dinner, the start of the ritual: reminders set at the times that fit them, suggested from their age and rhythm. Hints through the day, never alarms. You stay in control.
An age-aware sleep assessment
A dozen questions, tuned to your child’s age: rhythm, routine, falling asleep, screens, the bedroom, the day. There’s no right answer, only yours.
A clear, sourced plan
A night score, the levers to work on first, and for each one the why and something to try. Every recommendation links to a published study. What’s already holding is shown too, not only what’s missing.
A log and tracking
Each morning, log the night: wakings, falling asleep, the previous evening’s routine. Then the curves take shape: score per night, seven-night trends, and what really helps your child — from your nights, not a theory.
Milestones for their age
How many hours they need, what’s ordinary at this age, how naps space out until they fade around three or four. Enough to place their nights without judging them: much of what worries you, at this age, is simply normal.
A warning-signs check
Four safety questions (snoring, breathing pauses…). Some things a routine won’t fix: better to have a doctor look. Nothing here is a diagnosis.
With you in the evening, and it lights up their nights
Tell us about them
Their first name, date of birth, and what would help you most: being guided evening after evening, or understanding their nights.
Start the bedtime routine
One tap, and the copilot walks the steps with you. The timer keeps going even when you put the phone away.
Take the assessment when you like
A dozen questions tuned to their age, five minutes. In return, a sourced sleep plan.
Log the night
Thirty seconds in the morning. Day after day, the tracking shows what’s shifting, and the effect of keeping the routine.
A dozen levers, one for each factor that counts
The assessment weighs these levers, one by one, and the plan surfaces the ones to work on. Each is embodied by a small night scene, ported from the app.
It walks the routine, you stay present
One tap to start, and the app keeps the thread. The routine shows one step at a time, in the order you set, and tells you what’s next. The nap times itself with one tap — and the timer keeps going on the lock screen, so you can stay with your child.
- The bedtime routine, step by step, in an order that stays the same night to night
- A template by age, kept or composed: whole, short, or away from home
- A timed nap, visible on the lock screen — we measure, we don’t judge
Nothing to report yet. A quiet night.
At night it keeps watch: you see, you hear, you soothe
A device left in the room films; yours keeps watch. You see several rooms at a glance, and it switches on its own to the child who stirs. In the dark, night vision takes over. And if you need to, you soothe without getting up: a lullaby, the night light, your voice.
- Several rooms in one mosaic, with a calm marker while all is well
- Night vision, automatic switching, and the sound kept even when you watch from afar
- Nothing recorded: video and sound pass between your devices, encrypted
The same steps, in the same order: the most reliable sleep cue there is.
A short, always-identical sequence: bath, pyjamas, two books, into bed.
We spot what’s in the way, and where to start
The assessment tunes itself to the child’s age and weighs a dozen levers. It shows only the ones to work on, most urgent first, each with the why and a concrete step to try.
- A night score out of 100, with a plain-language band (“on the right track”, “hard nights”)
- Levers ranked: work on first, then, and what’s already holding
- Every tip linked to a study, clickable, never guilt-tripping
+8 pts · 1 fewer waking
The curves remember what tiredness forgets
Each logged night feeds a score, averages and seven-night trends. You see real 24-hour sleep against the range recommended for their age, how regular bedtime is, and the evenings the routine was kept, day after day.
- Score per night, wakings and hours of sleep, over 14 or 30 nights
- Trends 7 nights vs 7, and bedtime regularity (± minutes)
- The routine’s effect and what really helps your child, worked out from your own nights
Log the night while the coffee brews
A quick entry built for a tired morning: how the night went, how many wakings, falling asleep, the previous evening’s routine. Naps timed the day before are already there, adjustable if need be.
- Wakings, falling asleep, naps and next-day form
- The routine, screens and an active day: what worked the evening before
- The copilot’s naps carried over automatically, and a free word to remember it by
The night score becomes a little character
No cold dashboard: the number takes the face of a companion moon that sleeps well or badly along with your child. A tender way to read the night at a glance.
Naps space out, until they fade
Three naps, then two, then one, then none around three or four: daytime sleep gently rejoins the night. Average markers, never a schedule to keep.

The theme follows the time of day
faisdodo darkens at night and lightens by day. This site does the same: the palette you’re seeing right now shifts with the hour, just like the app. At night the screen doesn’t glare; one warm light, the nightlight, guides your eye.
Dawn
Coming out of the night, tender warm light.
Day
Full daylight, bright paper, everything breathes.
Dusk
Light falling, warm sunset tones.
Night
Deep indigo, stars, the nightlight the only marker.
The app, screen by screen
One mood, the night, and a calm voice. Screens reconstructed from the app’s source, which is still in development.
Nothing to report yet. A quiet night.
The same steps, in the same order: the most reliable sleep cue there is.
A short, always-identical sequence: bath, pyjamas, two books, into bed.

Every tip rests on a published study
The copilot rests on a solid idea: the same steps, in the same order every night, prepare a child for sleep, and the effect grows with consistency (Mindell 2009, Mindell & Williamson 2018). Sleep needs by age come from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine consensus (Paruthi 2016). Evening screens, light, self-settling: every lever cites its sources, and the warning-signs check draws on validated tools. We’re honest about the limits too — faisdodo is not medical advice.
Nothing leaves your phone
The assessment, plan, log and tracking live on your device, in the app’s private storage. The baby monitor keeps nothing: the video passes straight between your devices, encrypted. No account, no server, no tracking. We’re talking about your child’s sleep: that’s the last place data should leak.
- No data sent anywhere
- The monitor records nothing
- No account required
- No ad trackers
What people often ask us
What is the copilot?
A guide for bedtime. You start the evening routine with one tap, and the app walks the steps one by one, in the order you chose. There’s a nap timer too. The idea: you stay present with your child, the app keeps the thread.
Does the app impose durations for the routine?
No. Research shows the value of order and consistency, not of timing. faisdodo suggests a sequence of steps, with gentle cues (“dimmed light”), never a stopwatch per step. You keep, drop and reorder whatever you like.
Does the timer work on the lock screen?
Yes. Once started, the nap or routine timer stays visible on the lock screen, with the current step and a pause button: a Live Activity on iOS, a notification on Android. You can put the phone away without losing the thread.
How does the video baby monitor work?
A device you leave in the room — an old phone, a tablet — films your child, and yours receives the picture and sound. You link the two by scanning a code, with nothing to install on the camera side. You see several rooms at once, night vision takes over in the dark, and you can play a lullaby, turn on the night light, or talk to soothe without getting up.
Does the monitor record? Does it work away from home?
Nothing is recorded. Video and sound pass straight between your devices, encrypted, and are never kept. At home, everything stays on your Wi-Fi. Away from home, an encrypted relay steps in to keep the sound: the stream passes through, nothing is stored. A baby monitor helps you see and hear your child; it doesn’t replace an adult nearby.
From what age?
From 3 months. Before that, sleep is still finding its own rhythm; the app says so and invites you back a little later. The suggested routine, the questions and benchmarks then tune themselves to the child’s age.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything is stored on your phone, and only there. No account, no server, nothing uploaded. Uninstalling the app erases it all.
Is this medical advice?
No. faisdodo gathers the most solid findings on children’s sleep and turns them into simple steps. If something worries you (snoring, breathing pauses, repeated terrors), talk to your doctor. A built-in check nudges you to, if needed.
Is the app in English?
Yes — French by default, and bilingual French / English. A toggle in settings switches the whole interface and all the advice.
What are the tips based on?
On published studies: the American Academy of Sleep Medicine consensus on sleep needs, landmark work on the bedtime routine (Mindell), screens (Hale & Guan), evening light (Akacem), and more. Every recommendation links to its source.
How much does faisdodo cost?
It’s a prototype to test the concept, free at launch on the App Store and Google Play.
