Feeding the right side

9:07

This is the card on your lock screen. Try the buttons.

How it fits your day

  1. Start from the lock screen

    No Face ID and no app to open. Left, Right and End are on the card above, in Control Center, and in Siri: “Switch sides in CradleFree.”

  2. See the last feed at a glance

    The Log tab shows how long ago the last feed was and which sides it used, on a dial of the whole day. Bottles, solids, diapers and sleep are one tap each.

    The Log tab: a 24-hour dial with the last feed 41 minutes ago, buttons for bottle, solids, diaper and sleep, and big Left and Right buttons.

  3. Hand over without a briefing

    Share with up to six caregivers through your own iCloud. Grandma opens the app and sees the whole morning, and nobody makes an account.

    Family sharing with Mom, Dad and Grandma, each with who can make changes.

  4. Look back at the week

    The timeline keeps every record, and Trends lays out feeds, sleep and diapers day by day. The app does the counting.

    Trends: a week of sleep, feeds and diapers in rows, and today's totals next to the usual.

What it leaves out

  • No soundsNo chimes and no buzzing. The only thing that rings is the next-feed alarm, and only if you turn it on.
  • No glare at nightFrom evening to morning the app turns pure black and amber, so a glance doesn't wake anyone.
  • No account, no adsNothing to sign up for, and nothing trying to sell you something between feeds.
  • No data collectedRecords stay on your iPhone and, when you share, in your family's own iCloud. We can't see them.

Pay once. No subscription.

Who makes it

CradleFree is made by one parent. It started as an app for his wife's night feeds, and she is still its first user.
