The best baby tracker apps
Six apps, what each one is genuinely best at, and the catch with each. One of them is ours and it is not at the top — here is why.
Every rating, version and requirement below was read from the US App Store listings on 2026-08-29. Apps change — check a listing before you decide.
MyBaby is our app.
We make one of the six apps on this page, so read our entry with that in mind. What we can offer instead of neutrality is that every fact here comes from the public App Store listings, dated, and every app — ours included — has its downside stated. Ours has 4 ratings. The most-reviewed app on this list has 227,244.
Which baby tracker app is best?
There is no single best baby tracker, and the honest answer depends on one question: what is the thing you actually need it to solve? If it is sleep, Huckleberry is the strongest product here. If it is fast everyday logging with the largest track record behind it, that is Baby Tracker by Nighp. If it is starting solids and tracking allergens without paying, that is where MyBaby fits.
All six are free to download and all six log feeds, sleep and nappies competently. The differences that matter are what happens after the first few months, what each one puts behind a subscription — every app here charges for something, including ours — and whether it runs on the phone you already own.
What each app is best at
Baby Tracker by Nighp
4.8 from 227,244 ratingsBest overall for straightforward logging
It has 227,244 App Store ratings, far more than anything else in this list, and it does the basics — feeds, sleep, nappies — faster than apps carrying more features.
The catch: No solid-food database and no allergen tracking, so it gets less useful at around six months when weaning starts.
Huckleberry
4.9 from 72,278 ratingsBest if sleep is the problem
Nap-timing prediction and access to human sleep consultants are genuinely distinctive, and nothing else here has an equivalent.
The catch: The most valuable parts sit behind a paid membership, and it is English-only.
Nara Baby
4.9 from 23,284 ratingsBest minimal tracker
The cleanest logging experience in this list, a 4.9 rating across 23,284 reviews, and it covers pregnancy as well.
The catch: Deliberately shallow past basic logging — no food database, no recipes — and English-only.
MyBaby
Our app5.0 from 4 ratingsBest free option once solids start
Ingredient-level food tracking with allergen flags and reaction logging is the deepest in this list, and the free plan has no time limit — and this is our own app, so weigh it accordingly.
The catch: Only 4 App Store ratings — it is new, and that is a real reason to be cautious next to apps with tens of thousands of reviews. A second parent and a second child both need the paid Professional plan, and there is no Apple Watch app.
Sprout Baby
4.8 from 31,482 ratingsBest design, if your phone is current
A polished, long-running app with widgets, a Lock Screen surface and an Apple Watch app — the deepest platform integration in this list.
The catch: Their listing requires iOS 18.6 or later, which rules out a lot of perfectly good iPhones.
Glow Baby
4.7 from 23,456 ratingsBest if you already use Glow
Continuity from Glow's fertility and pregnancy apps, a large community, and it publishes its subscription pricing openly, which most of this list does not.
The catch: Its last App Store update was November 2025, the longest gap in this comparison.
How do the numbers compare?
Read from each app’s US App Store listing on 2026-08-29. The rating count is the number worth weighing most: it is the only column here that cannot be improved by a marketing decision.

Are baby tracker apps free?
All six apps on this page are free to download, and all six offer a paid tier. What differs is how much sits behind it. MyBaby keeps every tracking feature and caregiver sharing free and charges only to remove ads. Huckleberry and Glow Baby put substantive features behind a membership. Check the in-app purchase section of any listing before committing, because these change.
Do I need a baby tracker app at all?
For most families, only for a while. A tracker earns its place in the newborn months, when feeds are frequent, sleep is fragmented and two exhausted people need the same information — and again when solids start and you are introducing allergens one at a time. Plenty of parents stop using one entirely by the end of the first year, which is a perfectly good outcome and not a failure of the app.
What should I actually look for?
Four things separate these apps in practice, and none of them is the feature list:
- How fast is one entry? You will log a feed at 3am with one hand. Anything more than two taps gets abandoned.
- Does the second parent see it immediately? If sharing is behind a subscription, the app solves half the problem.
- What happens at six months? Solids and allergens are where most trackers stop being useful.
- Will it run on your phone? Minimum iOS versions in this list range from 15.0 to 18.6.
Can two parents use the same baby profile?
Yes, in every app on this page — but check whether it costs anything, because in most of them it does. In MyBaby a second account needs the Professional plan, and one subscription then covers everyone you invite rather than charging per person. Whether sharing is free or paid is the single most common thing parents discover after they have already committed to an app and entered a month of data, so it is worth checking before you start.
Trying MyBaby
Free to download on iPhone and Android, and free to keep using for one child on one account with no time limit. A second parent, a second child, reports or the assistant need a paid plan — the prices are all on one page. And if one of the other five above suits you better, use that one: a tracker you actually open beats a better tracker you do not.
