Which breast now — and which side is next? It's 3am. You're half asleep, the baby is already crying, and your brain is stuck on one question: which side did I feed from last time? NextSide answers it in under 3 seconds. One tap — Left or Right. Done. No timer to start, no stopwatch to stop, no form to fill in. One-handed. In the dark. Fully offline. THE ANSWER, THE MOMENT YOU LOOK Open the app and the Glance Bar tells you two things: which side is next, and how long it's been since the last feed. Nothing to remember. Nothing to calculate. A NURSING LOG IN 3 SECONDS One tap on Left or Right records a completed feed. That's the whole interaction. BUILT FOR 3AM, NOT FOR A SPREADSHEET Night mode isn't a dark theme with the brightness turned down. It's warm, near-black, zero-blue, with oversized targets you can hit without looking. It won't burn your eyes and it won't wake the baby. NO ACCOUNT TO TRACK. EVER. No sign-up, no waiting, no connection required. Logging, history, reminders and night mode work fully offline — in airplane mode, at the hospital, on a plane. Your feeding history stays on your phone. UNLIMITED FEEDING HISTORY Every feed, which side and when. Unlimited, free. GENTLE REMINDERS A quiet nudge at the interval you choose after the last feed. Optional, never nagging. FOUR LANGUAGES English, Türkçe, Deutsch and Български. PREMIUM — LOG WITHOUT OPENING YOUR PHONE Logging inside the app is free, always. Premium moves those 3 seconds to the surfaces you can reach without opening the phone at all: • Home-screen widget — one glance, one tap, no unlocking • Lock Screen quick log • Apple Watch app and complication — one tap from your wrist • Cloud backup and restore — sign in once with email or Google so a new phone doesn't mean starting over • The Premium breastfeeding guide WHAT NEXTSIDE IS NOT No pumping, bottle, diaper or sleep tracking. No charts, no AI guessing, no ads. Just the one moment, made faster. For every mother feeding a newborn: a breastfeeding tracker shouldn't be forty features. It should be one clear answer. Which breast now, and which side is next? Tap. Done. TERMS OF USE (EULA) https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
