Keep every caregiver on the same page

Partners, grandparents, nannies — anyone caring for your baby can see and log feeds, sleep, and diapers in real time. No more texting 'when did they last eat?'

One baby, one shared log. Everyone sees the same data, updated instantly.

The "handoff problem" every multi-caregiver household faces

Dad puts the baby down for a nap at 1 PM. Mom comes home at 3 PM and asks: "When did they sleep? Did they eat? How many diapers?" Dad's asleep on the couch. The notes he scribbled on a napkin are illegible.

Now multiply that by every shift change, every grandparent visit, every babysitter handoff. Without a shared system, caregivers spend more time exchanging status updates than actually caring for the baby.

How caregiver sync works in tinylog

tinylog makes sharing your baby's data effortless.

Invite a caregiver: Open settings, tap "Invite Caregiver," and send an invite link. The other person downloads tinylog, accepts the invite, and they're connected — usually in under a minute.

Real-time updates: Every entry logged on one device appears on all connected devices instantly. If your partner logs a bottle feed at 2 PM, you see it on your phone the moment they save it.

Everyone can log: This isn't view-only access. Every connected caregiver can add entries — feeds, sleep sessions, diaper changes, and growth measurements. The log reflects everyone's contributions in a single timeline.

Works across devices: Sync works between iPhones and between iPhones and iPads. Both caregivers get the full experience regardless of which device they use.

Who benefits from caregiver sync

Partners splitting overnight shifts

One parent takes the first half of the night, the other takes the second. With caregiver sync, the incoming parent can glance at the app and instantly see when the baby last ate, how long they slept, and how many diapers have been changed — no whispered hallway briefings required.

Grandparents babysitting for the day

Grandma watches the baby while you run errands. She logs feeds and naps as they happen, and you can check in from anywhere. When you pick the baby up, you already know exactly what happened — no debriefing needed.

Nannies and daycare handoffs

Your nanny logs every feed, nap, and diaper change during the day. When you get home, the full daily log is waiting on your phone. You see what happened, your nanny doesn't have to write a report, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Co-parenting across households

For parents in separate households, caregiver sync provides a shared record. Both parents see the same data regardless of where the baby is, reducing miscommunication and making transitions smoother.

Caregiver sync tip

Set up sync before the baby arrives (or as early as possible). When both parents are logging from day one, you build a shared habit. It's much easier than trying to get a second caregiver to start logging weeks or months in.
