Milkly tracks your pumping sessions and your milk stash. Log a session in seconds with one hand, and see the number that matters at three in the morning: how long it has been since your last pump. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE Home leads with time since your last pump, then today's total, sessions and time on the pump. Start the timer with one tap, or run a power pumping block with preset intervals. A STASH YOU CAN TRUST Track milk as a single balance or bag by bag, each bag with its own date and location. Milkly keeps the order FIFO so the oldest milk goes first, and shows which bags are near the end of their storage window, based on the health guidance where you live. COUNTDOWN See an estimate of how much longer you need to pump for your stash to carry your baby to a date you choose. It is an estimate based on typical intake, not a plan from a professional. REMINDERS FOR REAL NIGHTS Interval or fixed-time reminders, an overdue nudge, snooze, and a quiet night window so nothing wakes you when you asked it not to. LIVE ACTIVITY, WIDGETS Follow the session on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Widgets keep the interval on your Home Screen. EXPORT Send a CSV file or a PDF summary to your lactation consultant or your pediatrician. PRO Your first 50 sessions are free, with your whole history, this week's stats, reminders and your stash balance. Pro keeps logging unlimited and adds trends, bags with dates, Countdown, more widgets and export. Try everything in Pro free for a week. PRIVACY Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud. No account, no ads. Milkly is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. Talk to your doctor or a lactation consultant about feeding decisions.
