# Swadl — The Digital Heirloom for Your Nursery > Swadl is more than a baby tracker. It is a parenting coordination app that helps families log, share, and understand their baby's care. Ad-free, privacy-first, designed for focus, warmth, and absolute clarity. ## What is Swadl? Swadl is a mobile app for iOS and Android that replaces scattered notes, texts, and spreadsheets with a single shared log that the whole care circle can access in real time. Parents, partners, grandparents, and babysitters all stay on the same page. The app is designed around six core tracking categories: feeds, sleep, diapers, pumping, growth, and routines. On top of that, Swadl includes milestone tracking, vaccine records, pediatrician visit management, solids introduction guidance, and a teething tracker. Swadl is free to use. There are no ads, no data mining, and no third-party tracking. The app is built with COPPA-aware design principles and treats baby data as sacred. ## Core Tracking ### Feed Tracking Log breastfeeding sessions (with side tracking and live timer), bottle feeds (formula or breast milk with volume), and solid food introductions. Smart reminders notify caregivers when the next feed is due based on the baby's schedule. The app tracks feeding patterns over time and includes them in the daily briefing. ### Sleep Tracking Log naps and nighttime sleep with a live timer. The app calculates total sleep duration, tracks wake windows, and provides sleep pattern insights. Supports logging sleep location (crib, bassinet, co-sleep, stroller, car seat, arms). Live Activity support on iOS shows the running timer on the lock screen and Dynamic Island. ### Diaper Tracking Quick-log diaper changes with type (wet, dirty, mixed, dry), stool color, consistency, and notes. Tracks daily diaper counts. Stool color is important for newborn health monitoring. ### Pump Tracking Log pumping sessions with a live timer and volume tracking. Supports tracking total daily output. Live Activity support on iOS. ### Growth Tracking Log weight, height, and head circumference measurements. The app plots growth against WHO percentile charts and calculates growth velocity. Generates insights when growth is steady, when velocity changes significantly, or when birth weight is doubled. Includes exportable growth charts for pediatrician visits. ### Routine Tracking Log routine care activities like bath time, tummy time, medicine, and temperature checks. Helps caregivers maintain consistent daily routines. ## Health Hub The Health Hub is a central card-based interface that provides access to: ### Milestone Tracker Tracks developmental milestones across categories: motor skills, communication, cognitive, social, and personal. Each milestone includes the typical age range, description, signs to watch for, and tips. Parents can mark milestones as achieved with a date and optional photo. Custom milestones can be added. Milestone cards can be shared as images. ### Vaccine Tracker Pre-loaded with standard immunization schedules. Parents can record when each vaccine was administered, including the date, provider, and lot number. The tracker shows which vaccines are due, overdue, or completed based on the baby's age. ### Pediatrician Visits Track upcoming and past pediatrician appointments. Each visit includes date, doctor, clinic, visit type (well-baby, sick, specialist, emergency), and status. Parents can add preparation questions before the visit and notes afterward. ### Teething Tracker Interactive 20-tooth diagram showing eruption status. Tracks expected teeth based on age with pulsing animations. Parents can log when each tooth erupts and track teething symptoms (drooling, irritability, gum swelling, sleep disruption, fever, loss of appetite, biting, ear pulling, rash, diarrhea). ## Solids Introduction A comprehensive guide for introducing solid foods. Includes a food library organized by stage (4-6 months, 6-8 months, 8-10 months, 10-12 months, 12+ months) and category (fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, dairy, mixed meals). Tracks allergen introduction with reaction monitoring. Includes readiness signs checklist and approach selection (baby-led weaning, purees, or combination). ## Caregiver Coordination ### Care Circle Invite unlimited caregivers to the household. Each caregiver has their own account and can log activities, view history, and receive notifications. No per-seat pricing. ### Real-Time Sync All logs sync instantly across all caregivers. When one parent logs a feed, everyone in the care circle sees it immediately. ### Shift Handover Track who is "on shift" for baby care. Handover notes help the next caregiver pick up seamlessly. ### Daily Briefing An auto-generated summary of the day's care activity, including feed counts and totals, diaper counts by type, total sleep duration, and any notable events. Helps parents who were at work catch up on what happened during the day. ## Activity History Full chronological log of all care activities with filtering by category. Each entry shows who logged it, what was logged, and when. Entries can be edited or deleted. ## Insights The app generates contextual insights based on logged data, including feeding patterns, sleep trends, growth velocity, and developmental progress. Insights appear on the dashboard and in the daily briefing. ## Privacy and Trust ### Zero Ads Swadl is 100 percent ad-free. There are no tracking pixels, no targeted marketing, and no selling of user attention. The nursery is treated as a sacred space, not a billboard. ### Data Ownership Users own their data completely. Full data export is available at any time. Account and all associated data can be deleted at any time.
