A couple months back my wife wanted to track activities (feeding, sleeping, diapers, etc...), and we didn't really like what was on the app stores. Most apps we tried were too bloated or ad\paywall heavy. So naturally I thought to myself: I could build that.

We wanted something straight forward we could share amongst ourselves, family, and anyone taking care of our young infant. What started as a basic app that tracked the necessities turned into an app that allowed us to quickly answer questions we often had like when was the last time he pooped or what his average wake window is, and setup caretaker schedules or keep track of appointments.

I call it Sprout Track. It's a mobile first web app built with Next.js. Here's the repo:

It features:

Activity Tracking

  • Sleep
  • Feeding (breast, bottle, and solids)
  • Diapers
  • Baths
  • Notes
  • Pumping
  • Measurements (height, weight, head circumference, temperature)
  • Milestones

Reporting & Analysis

  • High-level reporting and statistics (daily stats, last things info, and quick states to compare averages over time)
  • Full log with date range filtering and dynamic search

Multi-user Support

  • Multiple caretaker accounts
  • Role-based permissions
  • Simple pin based security

Calendar & Planning

  • Add events for Appointments, Reminders, Caretaker Schedules, and misc events
  • Add contacts like doctors and family members for caretakers to reference quickly

If you happen to be a parent and love to host your own apps feel free to check it out! Cheers!
