Log your baby’s day by texting it

Write it the way you’d text your partner at 3am: woke 7:15, wet diaper, nursed left 10m. TextTots turns that one message into three entries for sleep, diapers and feeds. No forms, no menus, one thumb.

Optional:

Coming to iPhone and Android. We’ll email you once, when early access opens.

    We ended up logging our son’s first months in a chat thread

    When he arrived, every tracker app wanted five taps to log one bottle, usually with a baby in the other arm. So we started typing quick notes into a chat instead. By the end of the summer that thread held nearly 400 entries.

    Writing them took seconds. Using them was another story: a chat thread can’t tell you how much he drank today or when he last slept. TextTots keeps the fast part and does the sorting for you.

    — the two parents building TextTots

    It reads messages the way tired parents write them

    • Several things in one message

      Commas, “and”, “then”: each thing you mention becomes its own entry, all from one send.

      woke 7:15, wet diaper, nursed left 10m
      • Woke up
      • Wet diaper
      • Left, 10 min
    • Your words, not a menu’s

      “Back to bed”, “back to bassinet” and “down for a nap” all start a sleep. A batched change counts as one diaper, with the counts kept.

      peex2 and poopx2
      • One change: wet ×2, dirty ×2
    • Times that make sense at night

      “11:50” typed at 12:10am lands on yesterday. When AM or PM isn’t clear, the entry says so and one tap flips it.

      11:50 6oz formula
      • Yesterday 11:50 PM
      • Switch to AM
    • Nothing quietly guessed or lost

      Every entry shows up as a card you can fix or undo with a tap. Anything it can’t sort is kept as a note, and your original words are always saved next to the entry.

      • Note, saved as written

    The 3am questions, answered before you ask

    The top of the screen always shows when the last feed was, how many diapers so far today, and how long the current sleep has run, with a live timer.

    In the morning, a short card sums up the night for whoever is taking the next shift.

    • Share the night shift

      Invite your partner, a grandparent or the nanny. Everyone logs into the same day and sees it update as it happens.

    • More than one baby

      Add each child and mention them by name in a message. Twins welcome.

    • Away from home

      Times follow your baby’s time zone, so a trip to see the grandparents doesn’t scramble the log.

    Your baby’s log stays with your family

    • Only the people you invite

      Access is checked by the database itself on every request, not just by the app, so one family can never see another’s log.

    • We don’t sell your data

      Your family’s information isn’t for sale, to advertisers or anyone else.

    • Simple sign-in

      Sign in with Apple, Google, or a 6-digit code sent to your email. No new password to remember.

    Questions parents ask us

    When can I use it?

    We’re building the iPhone and Android apps now. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when early access opens.

    Do I need to type in a special format?

    No. Write the way you already would: short, misspelled, with or without times. If a time has no AM or PM, TextTots picks the most recent one that makes sense and lets you flip it with one tap.

    What can I log?

    Breastfeeding, bottles, formula and solids; naps and night sleep; wet and dirty diapers; pumping; medicine and vitamin drops; temperature; spit-up; weight; tummy time, baths and milestones. Anything else is kept as a note.

    Can my partner and I both log?

    Yes. Invite anyone who helps with the baby. You all share one log, and new entries show up for everyone right away.

    Will I be able to text it without opening the app?

    That’s on our list. We plan to add logging by regular text message after the apps launch.

    Is this medical advice?

    No. TextTots keeps a record of your baby’s day. For anything about your baby’s health, talk to your pediatrician.
