A baby tracker that doesn't sell nappies at you.
The category norm is a free app funded by the baby aisle. A file on your laptop is the same log without the sponsorship.
When you're up at 3am typing 'right side, twelve minutes' into an app, it's easy to forget that every one of those entries is being aggregated, sold, and used to time formula ads in your feed. A file on the family laptop does the same job and forgets when you close the tab.
What to log, quickly
Feeds (side, duration, or bottle amount), sleeps, nappies, temperature, weight, milestones. All in one file per baby.
Both parents can add
Put the file in a shared folder — iCloud, Dropbox, Syncthing — and both parents update it. No 'family account', no per-seat pricing.
For the paediatrician
Print the last two weeks; bring it to the appointment. Cleaner than a paper diary and less exposed than a cloud dashboard.
What to reach for
Common questions
Feeds every hour — is it fast to enter?
Yes — one row per event, timestamped. Faster than the popular apps because there's no ad load.
Does it work at 3am?
It's a file open in a browser. It works whether or not the internet does.
Can I export to a paediatrician?
Print the page. That's the export.
What about milestone photos?
Photos live in your camera roll. Link a filename from the log entry if you want.
