A simple, beautiful breastfeeding timer. No diaper logs, no tummy time tracking, no app that does 47 things and none of them well. One tap, start feeding, and done! I made MilkMode because I wanted something I could open with one hand and just tap “go.” Something that would remember which side I started with last time. Something that felt encouraging instead of making me feel like I was falling behind on data entry. So I built it and I think you’ll love it too. Features: One-tap breastfeeding timer with left/right breast tracking Beautiful, shareable stats so you can show your partner, your mom, or your group chat how much you've been working Sleep Mode so feed reminders turn off at night when baby sleeps longer (because you deserve that sleep too) Dark mode Live Activities so you can see your timer right on your lock screen Ability to edit previous feeds and add new ones No ads MilkMode is free to try for 7 days, then it’s a one-time purchase. No subscription. All your data stays on your device. Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to share it. If you or someone you know is breastfeeding, give MilkMode a try. I hope it makes the beautiful breastfeeding journey a little easier.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MilkMode at none against Baby Names™'s shown. MilkMode also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Baby Names™'s advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 8) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
