Pipkin
The baby & sleep tracker that's free. Forever. In writing.

Log in one tap. Learn what's changing.
Most baby trackers just store what happened. Pipkin reads your baby's own log back to you as a rhythm, a heads-up, or a pattern you'd never have spotted at 3am.
Log without thinking
Wet, dirty, mixed and dry diapers are each one tap. Feeds and naps start from the Home Screen widget, the Lock Screen, Siri, or a quick-add box you can type or speak ("120ml bottle"), with a Live Activity timer in the Dynamic Island while a feed or nap runs.
See today's rhythm
Pipkin blends your baby's own averages (last wake time, typical wake windows, feed spacing) with age norms into a plain-English forecast: next feed ~10:52, nap ~12:32, wind-down ~18:53. Every prediction shows the maths: it is arithmetic over your own log, and you can check it line by line.
Get the honest heads-up
When the logs confirm a sleep regression or leap, whether that is the 4-month change or the 8/12/18-month windows, Pipkin names it and shows what parents often try. Trends are only called after holding for three weeks, so a rough patch never gets promoted to a pattern.

Read the guide →The fine print, up front.
Is Pipkin really free, or is it a free trial?
All tracking is free forever: sleeps, feeds, diapers, growth, milestones, widgets, co-parent sync, CSV export and WHO growth curves. It's a dated, written pledge with a date on it, so you can hold us to it. Plus adds analysis on top. Learn more
Can both parents use one baby tracker?
Yes. Invite your partner with a QR scan or a link. No second account, both iPhones share one live log, and one Plus subscription covers you both. Learn more
How does Pipkin predict naps and feeds?
From your baby's last wake and their own personal averages, blended with age-based wake windows. Every prediction shows its reasoning: rule-based and auditable, so you can follow the arithmetic yourself. Learn more
Is Pipkin a good Huckleberry alternative?
Pipkin was built after categorising 1,708 Huckleberry reviews: free-forever tracking, both parents on one subscription, and predictions that show their work. Learn more
Where is my baby's data stored?
On your iPhone and in your own iCloud. Pipkin has no account system, no ad-tech and no trackers. Your child’s data never leaves your device; the only things that do are anonymous usage counts and, if you subscribe, the subscription record. Learn more
Does Pipkin flag sleep regressions?
Yes. It names the 4-month change and the 8/12/18-month windows when your baby's own logs confirm them, with what parents often try. It arrives as a gentle heads-up. Learn more
How much does Pipkin Plus cost?
£5.99/month or £34.99/year in your local currency, 7-day free trial, cancel anytime in Settings. The price you start at is the price you keep, and one subscription covers both parents. Learn more
Is Pipkin on Android?
No. Pipkin is iPhone-only (iOS 17+), and deliberately so. We'd rather be excellent on one platform than mediocre on three. Learn more
What's free today stays free.
The most common complaint about the app I'm replacing isn't a bug. It's that features people relied on, free for years, moved behind a subscription overnight. Parents still write about it, five years on. So, in writing:
Every free feature in Pipkin stays free. All tracking, the day timeline and summaries, growth charts and history, widgets, Live Activities, iCloud sync, and CSV export will never move behind the paywall.
Plus only ever gates new intelligence: predictions, pattern surfacing, WHO percentiles. If I ever break this promise, this page will still be here, and every one-star review gets to link to it.
