anka

Baby tracker & log

so it's not all
in your head

When he last fed shouldn’t have been a difficult question but on three hours of sleep, it was.

I built Anka to keep a record I could check instead of trying to remember. You can log a feed as it happens or add it later, and share the day with whoever takes over.

Why I made it

I kept everything in the Notes app.

In those first weeks I was surprised by how hard it was to answer a simple question about his day. I needed to write things down.

When I asked around I found friends keeping notes on their phones or in a notebook by the cot. We were all losing track in much the same way.

So I built what I wanted at 4am: a baby tracker that holds the whole day without turning it into homework.

What you can log

Feeds. Sleep. The rest of the day.

A record for your baby's first 12 months. Add a missed entry afterwards or fix one you got wrong.

01

Breastfeeding and bottles

A timer for each side. Bottle amounts too. Link a bottle as a top-up after a breastfeed so the history reads as one feeding session.

02

Sleep and diapers

Time a nap or log a night waking. Record wet and dirty diapers. Leave a note if there is something you want to remember.

03

Growth and milestones

Record measurements against WHO reference growth curves. Keep the first smile in the same place as the 3am feed. Choose your own units.

04

Patterns without targets

The Patterns screen waits for at least five observations before describing a pattern. No scores. No streaks. No notification telling you your newborn is behind.

For you, too

Your cycle. A pregnancy. On your phone only.

Log your period, pain and mood, and see your cycles since the birth. Or follow a pregnancy week by week, with your due date and appointments. Both stay on your phone. They are never backed up, never shared with your family, and never counted. Use them with a baby log or on their own.

No fertile windows, no countdowns, no "late". A range when there is enough to go on, and silence when there is not.

Screens

Take a look inside Anka.

Start a feed timer. Find the last bottle. Fix the entry you remembered three hours later.

Actual app screens with fictional example records.

The Today screen. A card reads How is Maya, 4 days old, last fed 7m ago, with totals for feeds, bottles, time at breast, sleep and diapers. Below it a breastfeeding timer runs on the left side at 7 minutes 58 seconds.
A timer for each side. The totals above it say they only count what got logged.
The Journal screen listing today's entries. A breastfeed on the left side, feeding now, at 10:29 PM. A 30 ml formula bottle at 10:27 PM. Filter chips read All, Feeds, Diapers, Sleep and Moments.
The last bottle, right here. Everything you have logged, newest first, and tap any of it to fix the time.
An Edit bottle sheet titled How much, with preset amounts from 30 to 180 ml, an amount field reading 30, a choice between formula and breast milk, and a time of Sep 20 at 10:27 PM.
You can fix the time. A 3am feed logged at 6am still lands where it happened.
The Family screen showing Maya at 4 days old, a backup card reading Signed out, everything stays on this phone, a Turn on backup button, and links to send feedback and open settings.
Backup starts with you. Signed out, the whole record stays on this phone.

Accounts and backup

Start with no sign-up.

Core logging works offline. Backup and family sharing stay off until you turn them on. Dark mode is there for the 3am ones.

If you turn on backup

I cannot read your backed up records. If you write to me about a problem and I need to see what happened, you can open a support window from inside the app. It lasts seven days and shuts by itself, and every time it opens is written down where you can read it. I do count how many people use Anka and which screens get opened, and that never carries what you logged. No ads. Your data is not sold.

You can export your records or delete individual entries. You can also request account deletion. If you send feedback, that message is sent to Anka even when backup is off.

Not medical advice

Anka is not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat anything. Totals are only as complete as your logging. Growth charts are not a medical assessment. Talk to your child's doctor about anything that worries you.
