Read full descriptionHide full description
Baby care, held together. Otuli is the shared baby care log for tired hands and interrupted nights. Log a breastfeed, bottle, diaper, sleep or pumping session in one tap, and everyone you invite sees the same up-to-date timeline through iCloud: your partner, a grandparent, the nanny, the sitter. PICK UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF • See everything since a time you choose: feeds, diapers, sleep and notes, and who logged each one • Send a care card to whoever is taking over, with the last feed, sleep and any notes • Invite each caregiver to add entries, or to view only • Keep logging offline and let Otuli sync when the connection returns QUICK WHEN YOU'RE TIRED • Log left and right breastfeeds, bottles, wet and dirty diapers, pumping, sleep, waking, temperatures and notes • Arrange your one-tap quick log bar and keep the actions you use less one swipe away • Press and hold a button for your own durations and amounts • Log earlier for the feed nobody had a spare hand to record • Undo mistakes, and recover deleted entries for 30 days ANSWERS AT A GLANCE • See the last feed, wet diaper and dirty diaper without searching • Know which breastfeeding side is next, on your iPhone or your Apple Watch face • Check today's totals, the last 24 hours, and the gaps between feeds • At night, compare tonight so far with last night by now • Spot daily rhythms in the activity grid, month by month • Track twins or siblings with a separate timeline for each baby BUILT FOR REAL NIGHTS • Red-on-black night mode, on a schedule or whenever you tap the moon • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Ask Siri to log a feed, diaper or pump, check the last feed or the next side, or hear what happened today • Shared care reminders for vitamin D, tummy time, pump kit washes and everything else, with notifications chosen on each device READY FOR THE CHECKUP • Turn any date range into a printable PDF care report with daily totals, for the pediatrician • Keep temperatures in °F or °C beside the feeds and diapers from the same day • Export the complete care log as CSV whenever you want • Keep scheduled on-device backups and export encrypted Otuli backup files MAKE IT YOURS • Six themes and eight app icons • Say wee or pee, poo or poop, boob or breast, sleep, nap or down time PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no Otuli account and no Otuli server holding your baby's care log. Your entries live on your device and sync through your own private iCloud. There are no ads. Anonymous analytics are optional and never include what you log. FREE, WITH ONE PURCHASE FOR SHARING Logging and the whole care log are free. Otuli Together is one payment, not a subscription: it unlocks sharing, plus the Live Activities for a running sleep and the pump kit countdown. Everyone you invite is covered by your purchase. Otuli is a logging tool, not medical advice. --- Privacy: https://otuli.app.markbattistella.com/privacy/ Terms: https://otuli.app.markbattistella.com/terms/ EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Potty Steps
Read full descriptionHide full description
Potty Steps keeps potty training calm. It lives on one phone, needs no account, and answers the two questions every training day runs on: when was the last potty, and when is the next try due. Log every moment with one tap — pee, poop, both at once, a sit that came to nothing, a dry check, a drink, or an accident. Accidents are logged as data, never as failures: no red screens, no guilt, and your star chart never loses a star. Backdate an entry to any time and the day recalculates itself. The reminder timer is built for real family days. Pick a rhythm (every 30, 45, 60 minutes), and Potty Steps reschedules itself after every logged potty. Quiet hours cover nap time and the night — including windows that span midnight — and instead of buzzing at 2 AM, the app waits and sends one gentle nudge when quiet hours end. The star chart keeps your child going. Every success adds stars toward a reward you pick together, a sit timer with a friendly countdown makes staying seated easy, and a full-screen celebration marks every win. Stars are earned and never taken away. The day report card turns your log into a clean handover sheet — every entry with times, totals for successes, accidents, sits and dry checks, and the longest dry stretch of the day. Share it as an image with daycare, a grandparent, or a co-parent (Plus). Patterns turn your own log into insight (Plus): the typical gap between successes, how soon after a drink the next pee usually comes, and a seven-day view of successes and accidents. With more than one child in training, each kid gets separate timers, streaks and charts (Plus). A readiness checklist with commonly cited signs (per AAP/AAFP guidance) helps you decide when to start — informational only, with no scores and no verdicts. Training can be paused any time; reminders stop and your streak is safe. Your log is stored on this iPhone. No account and no ads.
