Paige keeps track of the feeds, the nappies and what happened while you were asleep, so you don't have to hold it all in your head. No accounts, end-to-end encrypted, beautifully designed and easy to use.

Hi everyone, I'm Alex. I built Paige during our daughter's first week, when my wife and I were tracking feeds and nappies on scraps of paper with no sleep.
There's no shortage of baby trackers, but I didn't want to hand months of detailed records about my newborn to a company whose business model I couldn't see. So I made something for the two of us instead, and it quickly became the thing our household ran on, so I tidied it up to share.
It's a feed timer with a breast-side reminder, nappy tracking (with the counts UK midwives go by in the first month), pumping, weight, milestones, and a shared timeline with a "while you were away" summary so whoever comes back on duty can catch up without a debrief.
The bit I care most about is tha there are no accounts, I don't collect your email, and everything you enter is end-to-end encrypted, so your data stays yours.
It's pay what you can, including free, with all features available for all users. It felt wrong to gate a thing for exhausted parents behind a subscription.
It's new and it's just me, so I'd really value your feedback, especially from anyone who's been in the newborn fog recently. Happy to answer anything.

I love it! Good thing you made it completely private.
I'm wondering: how do you share your data with your SO? Do you plan to have a cloud with encrypted data? Or a selfhosted cloud?

@fberrez1 Thanks, glad you like it!
Sharing already works (there is a cloud), but data on it is encrypted. A key gets made on your phone when you set up and never leaves your devices. To add your partner you give their phone a short code and approve it on a phone that already has the key, and that hands the key over. After that both phones encrypt and decrypt with the same key, and my server only ever sees the encrypted blob, so it syncs between you but I can't actually read any of it.
Self-hosting isn't a thing right now, though I get why you'd ask (it's the obvious way to not have to trust my server at all). Might do it down the line. For now I didn't want to make new parents stand up their own server at 3am just to keep things private, felt like too big an ask.
