PumpDown is a pumping timer, breast milk tracker, and freezer stash countdown for parents who want to know when pumping ends. Set your freezer stash goal, start a pump session with one tap, log your ounces, and watch your countdown drop. PumpDown keeps the workflow simple for 3am sessions: timer, side tracking, output log, daily totals, weekly trends, reminders, widgets, and a clear number that gets smaller over time. Other pumping apps try to track everything. PumpDown focuses on the one question exclusive pumpers ask again and again: how close am I to being done? WHAT YOU GET: - One-tap pumping timer with automatic night mode - Breast milk log for ounces or milliliters - Left, right, or both-side session tracking - Freezer stash countdown based on your goal - Daily and weekly pumping totals - Smart reminders with quiet hours - Home screen, lock screen, StandBy, and Live Activity support - CSV export for your records - Local-first data. No account. No ads. No clutter. Your first 30 sessions are free. Unlock unlimited tracking with a one-time purchase of $4.99. No subscription. Start your countdown today.

For the 3 AM pump. For the one-handed log before you lie back down. For the mom who's tired of cartoon baby apps. Cadence is a quiet diary for exclusive pumping. Start the timer, enter the volume, label the bag — then close the app and get back to sleep. Free. No account. No paywall. No upsell. — DESIGNED FOR EP — Cadence doesn't track feedings, diapers, or sleep cycles. It does one thing: a calm, fast log for exclusive pumpers. Serif numbers. Mono timestamps. No confetti, no characters, no streaks nagging you. — BUILT FOR 3 AM — • Night theme — pitch black with amber-only accents, so your pupils don't get blasted when you open it in a dark room • One-handed layout — large targets within thumb reach, quiet haptics instead of sounds • Optional local reminders — one gentle nudge before your next session, on-device only — YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE — • 100% local. No account, no sign-up, no cloud sync. • 100% free. No paywall, no in-app purchases, no premium tier. • No tracking, no ads, no analytics, no third parties. • Export your full log to CSV any time — for your lactation consultant, your pediatrician, or just your own peace of mind. — WHAT YOU CAN LOG — • Every session, timed to the second • Volume per pump, with a simple stepper built for sleepy thumbs • Your freezer stash — bag count, total milliliters, oldest bag first • A quiet daily view: sessions today, average interval, last pump — CHOOSE YOUR TONE — Four voice packs so the app reads the way you think. Clinical if you want precision. Matter-of-fact if you want nothing extra. Warm if you want a kind word at 4 AM. Terse if you want the fewest possible syllables on screen. — MADE FOR — Exclusive pumpers. Triple-feeders. NICU moms. Returning-to-work moms. Anyone who needs a pump log and nothing else. If all the app does is let you log the pump and go back to sleep — that's exactly the point.
