Hazelnut

Private iOS baby tracker

Every feed, nap, and diaper. Nothing touches the internet.

Hazelnut is a fast, one-handed baby tracker built for bleary 3am logging — with no accounts, no cloud, and no server anywhere in the picture.

Coming soon to the App Storefree of trackers, by design

Built for 3am

One hand on the baby, one thumb on the phone.

Big tap targets, minimal taps, and timers that keep counting no matter what. Hazelnut is designed for the moments when you’re too tired to fight an app.

Side-switching breast timer

Times each side, remembers which one is next, and pauses mid-feed without losing count.

Bottle and pump logging

Quick forms in whatever units you already think in. A top-up bottle right after a nurse counts as one feed, not two.

Log it when it happened

Babies don't wait for apps to open. Slide start times back, adjust end times, and log any event after the fact.

One-tap diapers

Wet, dirty, or both — logged before you've finished wrapping it up.

Timers that survive anything

A running timer is stored on disk, not in memory. Force-quit the app or reboot the phone and it's still counting.

Glanceable from the Lock Screen

Running feeds and naps show up as Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — no unlocking, no app-opening.

A history you can fix

A day-grouped timeline of everything, editable after the fact — with photos where you want them and daily stats you pick yourself.

A journal for the big stuff

First smile, first tooth, first fever. Milestones, a health log, and medication doses with next-dose reminders — for the baby, and for you.

A schedule with teeth

Plan feeds and caregiver shifts, see tonight's plan at a glance, and get real alarms — the kind that wake you. If a feed runs late, the rest of the night shifts with it.

Why it exists

Your baby’s data is nobody’s business.

Every feed, nap, diaper, and photo is stored in a plain database on your phone — inspectable, exportable, and yours. There’s no server to breach, no sync service to trust, and no privacy policy loophole to read twice. The app can’t phone home, because there is no home to phone.

no analytics, no ads, no crash uploads

And this website doesn’t track you either — no cookies, no analytics, no external requests.

Built in — no account needed

Sync to your partner’s phone. Not to a server.

Pair two phones once and Hazelnut syncs peer-to-peer — they talk directly to each other over local wireless whenever they’re near, no cloud account, no middleman. Both parents see the same feeds, naps, and medicines. And if Hazelnut’s developer disappeared tomorrow, sync would keep working, because there’s nothing to shut down.

Questions

Fair questions, short answers.

When can I get it?

Hazelnut is in active development and coming to the App Store. This page will carry the download link the day it's out.

Where does my baby's data live?

In a single database file on your phone — never on a server. You can export the whole thing from Settings whenever you like.

Can both parents use it?

Yes. Pair two phones from Settings and they sync directly to each other over local wireless whenever they're near — both of you see the same feeds, naps, and medicines. No account required on either phone.

What if I lose my phone?

Settings → Export Backup produces a JSON snapshot of everything — save it to Files, iCloud Drive, or AirDrop it to your computer. Importing it on a new phone restores everything in one atomic step. And if you've paired with a partner's phone, their copy is a live backup too.

Does it ever connect to the internet?

No. There's no server to talk to, so the app never touches the internet. Partner sync happens directly between your two phones over local wireless — nothing is uploaded, and nothing passes through a middleman.

How much will it cost?

Pricing isn't final yet — it will be announced here before release.

Will there be an Android or web version?

iOS first — that's where Hazelnut lives today. An Android version is a long-term goal, but there's no date to promise yet. A web version, never: web apps need servers, and no servers is the whole point.
