A simple, calm way to keep track of your baby's stools, made for tired parents. Tick a day and it's logged.

When the paediatrician asks "how often?", you'll have the answer. BUILT FOR ONE HAND β€’ One tap to log today, with the real time recorded β€’ Now / 15 min ago / 1 hr ago shortcuts instead of a time wheel β€’ Undo instead of "are you sure?" pop-ups β€’ Large tap targets and support for large text sizes SEE THE PATTERN β€’ Week view: every day, with each stool and how it came β€’ Calendar: a month at a glance, with dots per stool β€’ Monthly summary: days with and without a stool, longest gap, and how often help was needed KEEP THE DETAILS β€’ Several entries per day, each with its own time β€’ A note for each day β€’ Attach photos from your library or take one with the camera β€” handy for showing the doctor MORE THAN ONE CHILD Separate profiles with each child's age shown in days, months or years.
