Baby Memos guides

Baby Memos is a log for the things that happen in a baby's day: feeds, sleep, diapers, growth and everything in between. These guides walk through every part of the app with screenshots, so you can find the one thing you are looking for at 3 a.m. and get back to what you were doing.

If something is not covered here, use Settings → Contact developer in the app and ask.

Getting started

• Getting startedThe first launch takes about a minute — a name, a birthday, and you are on the home screen. No account, no sign-up.
• The home screenThe day strip, the activity cards and the two green buttons — what each part shows and where a tap on it goes.
• BabiesAdd a second baby, switch between them, edit a profile, and what happens when you delete one.

Logging

• Adding a recordThe quick record panel, what every editor has in common, and the fastest way from the home screen to a saved record.
• Record typesWhat each of the fourteen built-in types asks for, and what it shows afterwards.
• Editing and deleting recordsOpen a record's detail, change any field including the time, or delete it — from the detail screen or with a swipe on the list.
• Batch entryLog a whole night — several feeds, changes and a sleep — in one screen, without opening an editor for each.
• Photos on a recordAttach up to nine photos to any record, see them in the list and the detail, and open them full screen.
• TimersStart a bottle, breast, sleep or pumping timer and let it run on the home screen, in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen. Tap Done when it is over.
• Logging by voiceHold the green button, say what happened, let go. The record fills itself in, in any of the fourteen languages.

Looking back

• The Records tabEvery record, newest first — filter it to one type, jump to a date, and find an upcoming appointment pinned at the top.
• The timelineWhole days stood on end and placed side by side, so the shape of a routine shows up on its own.
• StatisticsEach record type has its own page — today's numbers, a week-by-week trend, day versus night, and the summary figures underneath.
• Growth chartWeight, height and head circumference plotted on the WHO growth standards for the baby's age and sex, with the percentile spelled out.
• VaccinesRecord the shots the baby has had, put the next appointment in the future so it stays pinned, and read the reference schedule for your region.

Family and your data

• Family sharingOne set of records on everyone's phone — no account, no shared Apple ID. One device creates the group, the others join with a code.
• Backup and restoreAutomatic daily backups to your own iCloud Drive, a manual backup any time, and bringing everything back on a new phone.

Settings and extras

• WidgetsSeventeen widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen — the latest records at a glance, one-tap logging, and a photo frame — and how to add them.
• RemindersBe reminded a set time after the last feed or nap, or at fixed times of day — set from the alarm icon on each home card.
• Custom record typesMake a type of your own — tummy time, medicine, a walk — with its name, icon and colour, and log it like any built-in type.
• The quick record panelPut the types you log every day in the first row of the + panel, hide the ones you never use, and reset when the routine changes.
• PremiumLogging is free forever. Premium adds family sharing, the full week on the timeline, your own record types and a choice of app icon.
• Invite friendsEvery friend who enters your invite code gives you a month of Premium. No limit, and the months stack.
• Contact the developerA conversation inside the app — ask a question, report a problem or request a feature, with a screenshot attached, and get a reply.
• SettingsA tour of the Settings tab — units, language, appearance, app icon, and where every other guide's switch lives.
