Babysteps App

A shared place for feeds, sleep, diapers, and the little details of caring for a baby together.

BabySteps is a self-hosted baby-care tracker for phones and touch displays. It brings daily care into one shared view, so the next person taking over has a clear picture of feeds, sleep, diapers, and the small notes that matter.

Made for the middle of a real day

Large touch controls, editable timestamps, and a useful Today screen help with quick entries when attention is elsewhere. Tracking covers feeds and latching, sleep and wake, diapers, growth, calendar history, and a journal.

Shared, with room to correct things

Household roles and invitations support shared care. Offline entries can queue for syncing. Optional voice assistance prepares changes for review before they are saved, and the same blue-lavender orb identifies Talk throughout the app.

Where it is now

The web app and API exist and are under active development. Physical-device and deployment checks are still part of the backlog. A Capacitor evaluation for iOS is planned; there is no claim of an App Store release.
