Little Layers Baby Weather

Opticode Ltd

About this app

You know the temperature. What you actually want to know is whether they need the
pramsuit.

Little Layers turns the local forecast into a straight answer: what to dress your
child in right now, for what you're about to do. It knows the difference between a
newborn in a pram and a toddler walking to nursery, between 8°C in still air and
8°C in a north wind, and between a bedroom at 17°C and one at 22°C.

WHAT IT TELLS YOU

• The outfit, layer by layer, in plain UK terms. Vest, sleepsuit, pramsuit,
wellies.
• Bedtime: which tog sleeping bag for tonight's room temperature, and what to wear
underneath. Tell it which bags you own and it only ever suggests those.
• How they're travelling: a sling strips the bulky suit and warms the extremities;
a car seat insists the coat comes off before the straps go on.
• The best window for a walk today, from the hours they're actually awake.
• A packing list for the bag, generated from the day ahead. A trip packer for a
few days away.
• Tomorrow, tonight, so you can lay clothes out before bed.
• A morning briefing and a heads-up before rain, if you want them.
• A home-screen widget with the current advice at a glance, and an outing mode
that pins the outfit and a mini forecast in your notifications while you're out.

EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE

No account, no adverts, no analytics, no tracking, and no server of ours. Your
children's details never leave your phone. The only thing the app sends anywhere
is a location (yours, or a saved place you pick), to fetch the forecast over an
encrypted connection.

GUIDANCE, NOT MEDICAL ADVICE

The advice follows published UK guidance, and every source is named in the app
with a link: The Lullaby Trust for safer sleep and room temperature, the NHS for
fever and sun safety, the T.I.C.K.S. rule for slings, Good Egg for car seats. Tog
ratings come from sleeping-bag manufacturers' charts.

Little Layers can't see your child and can't tell how well or unwell they are. If
you're worried about your child, contact your health visitor, GP, or NHS 111. In
an emergency, call 999.
