Newly Here

For the nights after, and both of you up for them.

Newly Here logs feeds, sleep and nappies on iPhone and Apple Watch, with one tap and one hand. You both share one live log, so whoever's up knows when the last feed was, and which side, without waking the other to ask.

The first weeks with Newly Here

Sarah and Tom have just had their baby. Here's how the log follows them home, and what each of them sees.

  1. Day 1

    From Nearly Here, with nothing to set up

    When Sarah sends "Baby's here" from Nearly Here, it offers to start the baby's log. Newly Here opens with the birth time filled in, and Tom's already on it. No new codes, no accounts.

  2. 02:58

    One tap on the Watch

    Sarah taps Feed on her wrist. The timer starts on the left side, and Tom's Lock Screen shows it too. Either of them can switch side or stop it, from whichever device is nearest.

    • Feed
    • Nappy
    • Sleep

  3. 03:24

    No need to ask

    Tom changes the nappy and taps Wet and dirty. It's on both phones in a moment. At the next feed, whoever's up can see when the last one was, and which side, without waking anyone.

  4. 04:40

    Fell asleep feeding? That's fine

    If a timer runs longer than you'd expect, Newly Here asks quietly whether it's still going. Turn the Digital Crown to say when it really ended. Any entry can be fixed later.

  5. Day 10

    Ready for the health visitor

    One page covering the last week: feeds, wet and dirty nappies and sleep, day by day, plus any weights you've copied from the Red Book and the questions you noted down at 4am. It shows what you logged. It doesn't score anything.

    8 feeds · 7 wet · 3 dirty

  6. Week 8

    Who gave what, and when

    After the jabs, Tom logs infant paracetamol at 14:20. Sarah's phone shows it too, so nobody has to remember. You'll see how long it's been, and a reminder if you set one. The app never works out doses.

Made for 3am, and one hand

For whoever's awake, holding the baby.

Feed, Nappy, Sleep on your wrist
Three big buttons on the Watch, which works without your phone nearby. Double Tap stops whatever's running.
One timer, any device
Start a feed on your Watch and stop it from your partner's phone. You both see the same thing.
Dark when it's dark
After dark the app switches to a deep, dim look with no bright flashes. Want it red instead? That's a setting too.
Buttons where your thumb is
Everything you need at night sits at the bottom of the screen, big enough to tap one-handed.
Breast, bottle and pumping
Side and last side, expressed or formula, millilitres. Combination feeding fits in one timeline.
Twins, and early arrivals
Log more than one baby. For babies born early, corrected age is shown alongside their actual age.
Lock Screen and Siri
A live timer on your Lock Screen, widgets for the last feed and nappy, and "Log a wet nappy in Newly Here".
Calm on purpose
No scores, streaks or "only 20 minutes' sleep today". Your log, shown plainly.

Nearly here, then newly here

Newly Here follows on from Nearly Here, the contraction timer that keeps your birth partner and family close in labour. Your circle comes with you, so the people you let in for the big day can still get the news you choose to send.

Private by design

No account, no adverts and no tracking. Your log lives on your own iPhones and Watches. When you share it, every change is encrypted on your phone before it leaves, so only your family's devices can read it. Not us, and not Apple.

The backup is encrypted the same way, with a recovery key only you hold. Your baby's log is never stored in iCloud.
