Early Access
This app is a brand-new addition to ElfHosted, and is considered beta. It runs, we test it, and your trial lets you prove it fits before you commit, but our support team does not yet have deep experience with it. Expect some trial and error: lean on the upstream documentation, experiment freely, and share what you learn in Discord, where the community and team are figuring these new apps out together. If you need a battle-tested workflow today, our established apps are the safer pick.
What is Baby Buddy?
Baby Buddy helps caregivers track a baby’s daily rhythms: feedings, sleep, nappy changes, tummy time, pumping, and growth. It turns all that logging into clear timelines and graphs so you can answer “when did she last feed?” at 3am, and hand over cleanly to a partner, grandparent, or babysitter.
Key Features
- Track everything that matters: Feeds, sleep, nappies, tummy time, pumping, temperature, and growth.
- Timelines and graphs: See patterns at a glance and answer the questions that matter at handover.
- Multiple caregivers: The whole household logs to one shared record.
- Mobile app and integrations: The official Android app, Home Assistant, and iOS Shortcuts connect via a personal API token.
- Multiple children: Track more than one child on the same instance.
