Frequently asked questions

Is Vaava free?

Yes. Logging, calendar, trends, milestones, developmental tracking, Photo Book, CSV export, the local Wi‑Fi baby monitor, and a built-in calming-sounds player with a free preset are free. Vaava Plus is a one‑time purchase (€14.99) that unlocks voice dictation, easy growth‑measurement scanning from photos, predicted adult height from biological parents' heights, local Wi‑Fi data synchronization between family devices (Vaava Plus on one of the paired phones unlocks sync for both), remote household baby monitoring over the internet, daily summaries, premium Photo Book themes, and the full calming-sounds library.

Does Vaava use cloud storage?

On your device. Vaava does not have user accounts and does not store your baby data on our servers. When two family devices are paired, they sync directly over your local Wi‑Fi.

Do I need an account to use Vaava?

No. Vaava works without a user account, email, or sign-in. Vaava Plus purchases are handled by the App Store or Google Play.

How does local Wi‑Fi sync work?

Family devices are paired with a QR code and sync directly over your local Wi‑Fi. Vaava does not use cloud storage for your baby timeline data.

What does the backend do?

Only voice dictation and growth measurement scanning send a small payload to our backend, which forwards it to an AI parsing service and returns a structured event. The audio or image is processed transiently and not stored.

Is Vaava Plus a subscription?

No. It's a one‑time €14.99 purchase on the App Store or Google Play. There is no auto‑renewal and no trial.

Does Plus transfer to my other phone?

Yes, on the same platform (iPhone↔iPhone or Android↔Android) with the same store account used for the purchase. Use the Restore Purchases option. Cross-platform restore (iOS↔Android) is not yet available.

How do I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Apple or Google according to their store policies. Vaava cannot issue refunds directly.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Export all logged events to CSV at any time from the app settings.

How does the baby monitor work?

Local baby‑monitor mode is free on the same Wi‑Fi: a baby unit and a parent unit with cry alerts and hold‑to‑talk. Vaava Plus adds remote household monitoring over the internet (encrypted live audio). Both devices need internet, and the baby unit must approve each session. If remote fails, you can fall back to local Wi‑Fi. Live audio only — no remote video, recording, or audio history.

Does the app have ads?

No. Vaava has no ads.

What does “Vaava” mean?

Vaava is a playful take on “vauva” — the Finnish word for baby. The little sprout waving around this site is called Vaava too: our mascot, growing a little every day, just like the babies it helps track.
