A while ago I made an app for tracking baby activities because I became a parent and was horrified at how many permissions the existing apps required and how much tracking they contained. Both the app and the server are open source.

This is a web-app which also has an Android version in the Play Store (F-Droid didn’t accept it because they don’t feel like web-apps should be welcome in their store). On iPhones it can be installed as a PWA to the home screen.

Features:

  • No tracking whatsoever
  • End-to-end encrypted, no personal information is stored on the server unencrypted
  • Track baby’s feeding, diaper changes, breast pumping and sleeping (more to come)

    The sharing is there, we use it together with my partner, otherwise it wouldn’t be that much useful. I would say the e2e encryption and privacy focus is the main difference, other than that it doesn’t have any features other apps have and probably has less features than some paid apps. Another difference is that you can reach me personally, tell me your idea and if it makes sense, it will be there. Another great thing is that it’s made with configurability in mind, you can tailor the app to your needs (for example, setting a gap between feedings for it to still be considered one feeding session, whether to calculate the time since feeding from the beginning or end of feeding, etc.)
