After becoming parents we tried a bunch of baby tracking apps because we kept forgetting feeds, naps and diaper changes during night shifts.

Most apps felt either:
• too complicated
• outdated
• overloaded with ads
• or missing sync between parents

So I compared the most popular ones we tested.
Would love to hear if I missed any.

1. Baby Tracker - Soriva — 4.8/5
   Best for:
   • real-time sync between parents
   • clean modern UI
   • nap predictions
   • fast logging

Cons:
• still a newer app
• fewer integrations than older apps

2. Huckleberry — 4.6/5
   Best sleep prediction features.
   Very polished.
   Can feel expensive quickly.

3. Baby Daybook — 4.2/5
   Feature packed.
   Good for detailed tracking.
   UI felt slightly overwhelming for us.

4. Nara Baby — 4.0/5
   Minimal and clean.
   Good free option.
   Missing some advanced syncing/reminders.

Would love recommendations from other parents.

Hello, i've launched my Baby Tracker - Soriva app couple month ago, now it has 2 active subscriptions as you see, and 5 daily user's, already geting couple of organic download per day, around 2-5... Any advice's how to more promote that kind of app? Tried meta ads, got around 100 download's, but no one from the ads kept using app...

A few months ago my girlfriend and I became first-time parents and honestly… we were overwhelmed.

Feedings, naps, diapers, pumping, medicine — after a few sleepless nights we kept asking each other the same questions:

“When did the baby last eat?”
“How long has she been sleeping?”
“Did you already log that or was it me?”

We tried notes apps, paper notes, reminders, even texting each other updates. Nothing felt simple enough for exhausted parents half asleep at 3am.

So I started building a baby tracker app at night after work.

Main focus was:

• real-time sync between both parents
• extremely fast logging
• simple UI without overwhelming screens
• AI insights/sleep predictions

It started as something only for us, but now random parents from other countries are actually using it which feels surreal.

Still super early (~300 total downloads), but it’s been one of the most motivating side projects I’ve worked on.

One thing I learned building B2C: parents don’t care about “features”. They care about reducing stress and saving mental energy.

Curious if anyone else here is building products based on problems from their real daily life rather than market research alone.

When our baby was born, my girlfriend and I were completely overwhelmed trying to keep track of feedings, sleep, and notes. Because of that, I started building a simple app in the evenings that helps both parents track the baby’s routine at the same time. Curious if anyone else would find something like this useful?

launched a Baby Tracker - Soriva app a couple months ago after becoming parents ourselves.

At first it was just a side project to track feeding, sleep, diapers etc. because we hated using notes and spreadsheets.

We slowly kept adding features like:

• sleep predictions
• caregiver syncing
• AI insights
• notifications
• growth tracking

Right now we’re still tiny:

• ~300 total downloads
• a few paying subscribers
• some daily active users
• starting to get organic installs from App Store search

Honestly the hardest part isn’t building the app anymore — it’s distribution and marketing.

Curious what worked best for other app founders here:

• TikTok?
• Reddit?
• Meta ads?
• ASO?
• influencers?

Would love to hear what gave you your first real growth.
