Babbly is a keepsake for your child's first words. Each time your baby or toddler says or signs a new word, add it in seconds — the word, how it sounds ("ba" for ball), the date and a note. Babbly shows the total, celebrates milestones like the first word, 10, 25, 50 and 100 words and the first phrase, and keeps everything in a month-by-month list.
A checklist of about 120 common early words, CDC age milestones, and short Learn articles (CDC, AAP, ASHA, NHS) help you notice and support new words.
Any sound your child uses consistently to mean something counts — "ba" for ball, "woof" for dog, or a sign like "more". Animal sounds and baby signs count too. Use the "Sounds like" field to keep how they actually say it.
Yes. Pick every language your child hears (in onboarding or in Settings → Children). With two or more languages, each word can be tagged with its language, and Babbly Pro shows how each language is growing. Children learning more than one language may spread their words across languages — count them all.
Free: unlimited words and phrases for one child, the word checklist, milestones and celebrations, age milestones, reminders and every Learn article. The free version is supported by ads.
Babbly Pro is a one-time purchase (not a subscription). It adds the printable First Words keepsake book (PDF), the vocabulary growth chart, category and home-language insights, word lists for more than one child, CSV export, and removes all ads. Family Sharing is supported.
Open Settings → Restore purchases in the app, or tap Restore on the Babbly Pro screen. Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to buy it (or a Family Sharing member's Apple ID).
Refunds are handled by Apple. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com or contact Apple Support.
With Babbly Pro, open Growth → First Words book. Babbly creates a printable PDF with every word grouped by month, your child's age, how each word sounded and their milestones. Share or print it using the iOS share sheet; a CSV export is also available. Files are created on your device and only leave it when you share them.
All reminders are off until you turn them on. There is an optional evening word check and a Sunday round-up. They are local notifications scheduled on your device, and you can change their times in Settings.
Everything is stored only on your device. There is no account and no server. To delete one child and their words, open Settings → Children, choose the child, and tap Delete. To erase everything, use Settings → Delete all data. Deleting the app also removes all its data.
Children learn to talk at different speeds, and Babbly is not a screening tool. But you never need to wait to ask. Talk to your child's doctor, health visitor or a speech-language professional if your child:
If you have any concern about speech, ask whether a hearing check makes sense.
Babbly is built to keep your family's information private. This policy explains what the app stores and what it doesn't.
Last updated: October 19, 2026Everything you enter is stored only on your device: your child's first name or nickname, birthday, tile colour, home languages, and the words, phrases, pronunciations, voice clips, dates and notes you record. We do not run servers that receive this data, and there is no account to create.
Babbly uses the microphone only while you are recording a clip of how your child says a word, and only after you allow it. Clips are saved as audio files inside the app on your device. They are never uploaded or analysed, and they are not included in the PDF or CSV exports. Deleting a word, a child or all data deletes its clips.
None of what you record. Babbly has no analytics and we cannot see your data.
The free version of Babbly shows ads from Google AdMob, rated for general audiences. AdMob may collect your device's advertising identifier and information about ad views and taps in order to serve, measure and limit ads. Ads are personalised only if you allow tracking when the app asks; you can change this at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. In the EEA and UK you are asked for consent through Google's consent form and can change it in the app under Settings → Privacy choices. Nothing you record about your child is shared with AdMob. Babbly Pro removes all ads, and the ad SDK is not started for Pro users. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services and Google's privacy policy.
The optional Babbly Pro purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. We never receive your payment details. The app checks your purchase status with Apple on your device using StoreKit.
Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. They are off until you turn them on, and no reminder content is sent anywhere.
The First Words PDF book and CSV export are created on your device. They only leave it if you choose to share them, for example with family, using the system share sheet.
If you use iCloud Backup or an encrypted computer backup, your device backup may include Babbly data. Apple handles those backups under its own privacy policy. Babbly itself does not sync to any cloud service.
Babbly is designed for parents and caregivers, not for children to use. It does not collect personal information from children, and nothing entered about a child is transmitted to us or to third parties.
You can delete a word (with its voice clips), a child and their words in Settings → Children, or everything at once in Settings → Delete all data. Deleting the app also removes all of its data from your device.
If we make material changes, we will update this page and note the change in the App Store release notes.
