The Blink Home Monitor download is free for iPhone, iPad, Android and Fire tablets, and it is the app you use to set up and watch Blink cameras and doorbells. Get it from the App Store, Google Play or the Amazon Appstore, then sign in with your Blink account.
The iPhone and iPad build is 563.3 MB and needs iOS 17 or later. Android devices need Android 10 or higher, and Fire tablets need Fire OS 8.
This guide covers which store to use, install steps for each device, what to do on a Windows PC or Mac, what the Blink plans add, and fixes for install and sign-in problems.

Match your device to a row, then use the link in that row. Every row ends at the same Blink Home Monitor app and the same Blink account.

- Blink Home Monitor on the App Store — 563.3 MB · iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later, free with in-app purchases

What to do on a Windows PC or Mac
Blink publishes no Windows or Mac version of Blink Home Monitor. Its support site states that you must use the Blink app to manage your system and devices, and the Mac App Store carries no Blink app.
A bigger screen still works for watching. Alexa opens Blink live views on Echo devices, Fire TV and Fire tablets once your accounts are linked.
| What you want | What to do |
|---|---|
| Set up cameras and change settings | Install the app on a phone or tablet |
| Watch a camera on your TV | Ask Alexa on a Fire TV for the SmartHome Dashboard |
| Watch a camera on an Echo Show | Say Alexa, show me and the camera name |
| Buy or manage a Blink plan | Read the Blink Subscriptions FAQ |
Skip any site offering a Blink Home Monitor EXE, DMG or desktop installer. Blink does not publish one.
Is Blink Home Monitor free?
Yes. The app is free, and a Blink plan is optional. Every Blink device gets live view, motion alerts and two-way audio at no cost. A plan adds cloud storage for up to 60 days, person and vehicle detection, and extended live view. The basic and basic ai plans cover one camera, while plus and plus ai cover every eligible camera.
A new eligible camera starts a 30-day no-cost trial. When it ends, cloud recording stops, but you keep your saved clips until the retention period deletes them. Blink lists current plan prices on Blink.com and Amazon, and they vary by region.
How to verify the Blink Home Monitor app is genuine
The app has no installer file to checksum. The store listing and its publisher are the proof.
- Open the listing from blinkforhome.com/blink-app or the links above, not from a search ad.
- On Google Play, check that the developer reads Immedia Semiconductor and the listing shows 10M+ downloads.
- On the App Store, check that the seller reads Immedia Semiconductor, Inc under Utilities.
- Confirm the copyright line names Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
- Delete any Blink app file you got from a third-party site.
Turn on multi-factor authentication during sign-up. Blink sends a 6-digit code by text or voice call each time a new device signs in.
How to check your Blink Home Monitor version and update it
Blink updates the app every few weeks through the stores. Version 60.0 is the current iPhone and iPad build.
- Open the App Store, Google Play or the Amazon Appstore on your device.
- Search for Blink Home Monitor and open the listing.
- Tap Update if the button shows. Open means you already have the newest build.
- Update your phone’s system software too if it is below iOS 17 or Android 10.
- Reopen the app and sign in again if it asks.
