Most common problems

Entries aren't showing on my partner's phone

Check these in order.

• Was the invitation accepted? Sending an invitation and having it accepted are different things. If the sender's app says "Invitation sent · not accepted yet" under Settings → Share with family, you aren't connected yet.
• Are both phones signed in to iCloud? Check iOS Settings → your name.
• Is there an internet connection? Logging works offline, but reaching the other phone does not.
• Still stuck? Tap Settings → Share with family → Re-fetch family data.

How does payment work?

You buy it once on the App Store and that's it. No subscription, nothing to buy inside the app, no ads.

Does my partner have to buy it too?

Not if you use Apple Family Sharing. When the family organiser turns on Purchase Sharing in iOS Settings → your name → Family Sharing, family members can download BabyRhythm for free from Purchased in the App Store.

Without Family Sharing, each person buys their own copy.

I changed phones

Sign in with the Apple Account you bought it with and download it again from Purchased in the App Store. Your records live in iCloud, so they come back when you reinstall.

How things work

Timing a feed

Tap Start timing now in the feed sheet. You can also start and stop from the Lock Screen widget button. If you forget to stop it, it closes itself at 60 minutes, so a forgotten timer at 3 a.m. doesn't leave a strange entry.

Lock Screen widget

Touch and hold the Lock Screen, then Customize → Lock Screen and add BabyRhythm above or below the clock. The widget shows the next expected feed time.

Notifications

Settings → Notifications has two switches. Notify at next feed time is off by default — that default exists so the app doesn't ring in the middle of the night. Notify me when it differs from usual tells you once in the evening when your baby's rhythm has clearly shifted for two days in a row. It's an observation, not a health judgement.

Good to know

• This app does not diagnose or prescribe. Please discuss health questions with your pediatrician.
• Records live in your own iCloud and the developer cannot see them. See the privacy policy for details.

Contact

From inside the app: Settings → Share with family → How sharing works → Report a problem. Sending it that way fills in diagnostic details, which makes the cause much easier to find (you can read all of it and delete anything before sending).
