Simple nursing tracking, made for sleep-deprived moments. MilkTimer is a calm, one-tap breastfeeding tracker for new moms. No sign-up, no ads, no clutter — just open the app, tap a side, and it remembers everything else. When the next feed comes around, MilkTimer suggests which side is next so you can think about your baby instead of timers. Built for the way new moms actually feed • One tap to start, one tap to stop • Smart side suggestion based on your last sessions • Pause, switch, and edit sessions without losing your place • Log manual sessions for pumping or bottle feeds Glance, don't unlock • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island during a feed — see the side and timer without opening the app • Between feeds, see "Time since last feed" and the suggested next side at a glance • Optional reminders if it's been too long Hands free with Apple Watch and Siri • Start, pause, switch sides, and stop right from your wrist • Ask Siri: "Start nursing in MilkTimer", "Which side?", or "How long since last nursing?" Your data, your iCloud • Sessions sync privately across your iPhone and Apple Watch through your own iCloud — no third-party accounts, no servers • Optional, anonymous usage stats you can turn off anytime in Settings Free. No ads. No subscription. Made by a parent for parents. If MilkTimer helps you through the early weeks, that's the whole point.
