About this app

A baby tracker made for 3am. The record stays on your phone.

Wren is built around one moment: logging a feed at 3am, one-handed, in the dark, holding a baby. It is dark by default, and what you log most is one tap each, under your thumb: sleep, nursing, a bottle and a diaper to start, then whatever your family logs most over the last 14 days, or the buttons you choose. Started a timer late? Adjust the start after.

LOG WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
• A home screen widget: one tap logs, and a running timer ends there
• Quick Settings tiles
• Timers in your notifications and on your lock screen, with pause and end
• Wear OS, with Wren Household

EVERYTHING A DAY NEEDS, FREE
• Nursing with sides, bottles of breast milk or formula with your brands, pumping, and solids with the foods tried and each first time marked
• Sleep, with pauses
• Diapers with their colour and consistency, and potty training when it is time
• Weight, length and head size on the WHO and CDC growth curves
• The Timeline's day, week and month, each with its numbers: the last 24 hours in 3-hour blocks, the week and the month as charts
• Log an earlier day from a calendar, back to the day your child was born
• Medicines and supplements, with "not before" for an as-needed dose
• Temperatures, symptoms and illnesses, kept together day by day while your child is unwell
• Allergies and conditions for each child, from a list where every item names its public source, or in your own words. Wren asks first when a food or medicine on the list is logged; it checks names only
• Your pediatrician and the clinic's hours, with a call in one tap and the address handed to your maps app
• Vaccines given and planned, and pedia visits with your questions for the doctor
• A checklist of skills by age
• Reminders you set, and only those
• Eight colour themes to try, with amber and one more to keep
• Export everything, any time, as a file you can open anywhere

MOMENTS THAT COME BACK
Keep a first, or an ordinary morning, with a photo or just a few words. Wren brings one back on the day it falls: a week ago for a newborn, a month or a year ago as your child grows. If you like, a note on that day at a time you choose.

THE RECORD STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
• No account, and nothing to sign in to
• No ads, no analytics, no crash reports, no trackers
• Your phone's own backup leaves Wren out. Wren's backup is one file, locked with 8 words only you have, saved in a folder you choose
• Choose whether lock screens show your child's name or only the first letter
• Delete everything removes everything

SHARE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO HELP
With Wren Household, add a partner, a lola or the yaya. Updates and photos go only to the phones you add, locked so only those phones can open them. Wren passes them along and deletes them once delivered.

WREN HOUSEHOLD, AN OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION
Adds a second phone and more, a second child and more, Wear OS, a colour for each child, and the PDF for the pediatrician. Twins born the same day count as one child, free. If the subscription ends, nothing is taken away: the log stays, you keep logging every child, and colours you kept stay kept. Only sharing, the watch and the PDF stop, and so do adding a child with another birthday and keeping a new colour, until it is on again.

Wren counts and records. It gives no advice and never works out a dose.
