Hi, I’m Andy – a Dad and the creator of Keep My Beat.

Keep My Beat started when our daughter was born very sick. Those early days were incredibly tough—filled with hospital visits, emotional stress, and endless worry. My wife and I were completely consumed by fear for her wellbeing. Naturally, this created a deep bond between us all, but also a lot of anxiety—especially around sleep.

Our daughter had a hard time settling at night. She’d often wake up crying, needing her Mum close just to feel safe enough to sleep again. I started noticing something powerful: whenever she lay with her head on her Mum’s chest, she would calm almost immediately. It was the rhythm of her heartbeat—the most familiar, reassuring feeling in the world to her.

That moment sparked an idea. What if we could somehow replicate that feeling when my wife couldn’t physically be there?

I called up a good friend of mine who’s great with technology, and together we started experimenting. After a lot of trial and error, we created what would become Keep My Beat. It takes a 20-second recording of a real heartbeat and uses AI to turn it into a vibration pattern that mimics the soothing feel of that unique rhythm. The first time we used it with our daughter, the change was instant. She was comforted by the familiar heartbeat she instinctively knew—and she fell asleep peacefully.

I originally created Keep My Beat to support the bond between my wife and our daughter, especially during those difficult nights. But I quickly realized this could help many other families too.

If it brings even a little more rest, calm, and connection to your home like it did to ours, then it’s worth every second.

Andy
