BabyChart is a private baby tracker for the first year — and for the person recovering from birth. Log feeds, sleep, diapers, pumping, medicine, growth and milestones in a few taps, and keep all of it on your phone. No account to create, no cloud to sync, no ads, no analytics. Built for the hours when you are holding a baby in one arm and a phone in the other. Open it at 3 a.m. and the first thing on screen is how long since the last feed, the last sleep and the last change — before you have fully opened your eyes. ONE-HANDED LOGGING A breast timer with left and right sides and a pause. Bottles in ounces or millilitres. Solids, diapers, pumping, medicine and notes. A running session banner sits at the top of every tab so you always know a timer is going, and you can end it from anywhere. Forgot to log something? Change the time afterwards. SLEEP, DRAWN FROM YOUR OWN LOGS Wake windows and nap timings worked out from the sleeps you log — a description of your baby's own rhythm, never a generic chart and never a prediction. Seven days of sleep on one screen, one row per day, with the longest stretch marked. A sound machine with four looping sounds, generated on the device, that keeps playing with the screen off and the phone locked. And the AAP safe-sleep basics, shown to everyone. GROWTH, VACCINES AND MILESTONES WHO and CDC percentile charts, sex-specific and corrected for prematurity to 24 months. A vaccination record on the CDC schedule. The CDC "Learn the Signs. Act Early." developmental checklists, presented without the anxiety. Montessori play and soothing ideas for the age your baby is right now. FOR MOM, NOT JUST BABY A postpartum guide written with citations: what to expect as recovery progresses, the questions that come up at 2 a.m., comfort and self-care, the logistics of visitors, work and appointments, and how check-ups are typically organised. Support numbers — the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline, Postpartum Support International and emergency services — are always free and reachable in two taps, even from the paywall. MORE THAN ONE CHILD Add as many children as you need. Each keeps its own history, its own photo and its own corrected age. FREE, ALWAYS Logging never locks. Every feed, sleep, diaper, pumping session, medicine and note you record, today's summary, your whole history, the live timers, your children, your backups and a complete plain-text export stay free for as long as you use BabyChart. There is no countdown on the things you reach for every day. BABYCHART PREMIUM A subscription opens the worked-out half of the app: weekly charts of feeds, sleep and diapers; a jump to any past date and a full summary of that day; seven-day sleep patterns and wake-window timings; the sound machine; the postpartum guide; growth percentiles, the vaccine schedule and CDC milestones; play and soothing ideas; and a formatted summary report you can share with a pediatrician. Offered monthly or yearly, billed from the first day. Cancel any time in your device settings. YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES There is no server. The app makes no network calls at all — that is enforced by an automated test that fails the build if one is ever added. Export a backup whenever you like and choose where it goes. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is sold, and there is nothing to delete from our systems, because we never had it. BabyChart tells; it never evaluates. It is for tracking and general information, not medical advice. The medicine log records what you gave and when — it never recommends a dose. Always consult your pediatrician, OB or midwife.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tonal at none against BabyChart's 2. Tonal also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). BabyChart's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
