Nappy, the don’t-wake-the-baby dashboard widget.

After 45 minutes of cajoling, closing window shades, and negotiation, your baby is finally down for a nap. Bliss! You can relax for a few minutes or get some work done, and he can get the sleep he’s been needing all morning. Thank goodness.

RRRRRRRrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnngggggg.

“Waaaaahhhh.”

With Nappy, members of your family can see at a glance whether your baby is sleeping, and know whether it’s a good time to call. It’s so easy to use - just one click of the mouse - that you’ll find it saves the day. Especially when junior (or you) really needs that nap.

How does it work?

How It Works

Nappy consists of two dashboard widgets, a “parent” widget (for you) and a “family and friends” widget (for your family and friends). When you are getting your infant ready for her nap, just wander over to your computer and click “asleep”. Everyone on your channel will be automatically notified within 30 seconds that your baby is going down for a nap.

How much does it cost?

Six dollars for the parent widget and six months of service. After six months the service can be extended if you wish. The family and friends widget is free!

How do I install it?

Just download the widget file right from this page. Double-click on it, and it will be installed to your dashboard automatically.

Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is required. If you’re using Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, Show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget’s icon in the Widget Bar to open it. If you’re using a browser other than Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, unarchive it and place it in /Library/Widgets/ in your home folder.

I came here from the link in the widget. How do I get it to start working?

Just buy a license using any of the “buy now” buttons on this page. I will send you a unique channel code which you can start using right away!

How can I buy it?

Just click on the “buy now” button. I accept payment via PayPal. You do NOT need a PayPal account to pay with PayPal. After you complete your purchase, you will receive an email with your unique channel code and a complete set of instructions.

Is it safe?

YES. The only data that is transferred is your baby’s first name. Nothing else - no address information, no email addresses, no street addresses, no credit card data, no personal information whatsoever - is used. If you prefer, you can also use a fake name for your baby.
Your payment information is processed by PayPal, the most trusted name in e-commerce. They handle all aspects of payment 100% securely. The only information I receive is your email address, so I can send you your unique channel code.

I don’t have dashboard/don’t use a Mac.

I am sorry to hear that! The “parent” widget is currently Mac-only. However, your friends who have PCs (Windows) can check whether your baby is napping with a convenient web link.
