BabyLog

Getting Started

BabyLog takes about two minutes to set up. By the end of this guide you'll have an account, a baby profile, and your first log saved.

1. Create your account

Open babylog.com.au in your browser and tap Start free. You can sign up with your Google account or an email address.

BabyLog uses Clerk for authentication. Your login credentials are handled entirely by Clerk — BabyLog never stores your password.

2. Add your first baby

After signing in for the first time, BabyLog will prompt you to add a baby. Enter:

  • Name — this appears throughout the app
  • Date of birth — used to calculate age and contextualise log history
  • Gender (optional) — used for growth chart percentile curves

Tap Save and your baby profile is created.

Already have data? If you have a CSV export from another app, you can import it from Baby → [Baby name] → Data after setup.

3. Log your first activity

From the Overview screen, tap the large + button at the bottom of the screen. Choose an activity type:

  • Feed — breast, bottle, or formula
  • Sleep — tap start when baby falls asleep, tap end when they wake
  • Nappy — wet, dirty, or both
  • Solids — what they ate and how much
  • Pumping — session duration and volume
  • Bath — just a timestamp to track when the last one was
  • Note — anything else worth recording

Fill in the relevant fields and tap Save. The log appears immediately on the Overview and in the Timeline.

4. Install on your home screen

BabyLog is a Progressive Web App (PWA). You can add it to your iPhone or Android home screen so it opens like a native app.

iPhone (Safari):

  1. Open BabyLog in Safari
  2. Tap the Share icon (box with arrow pointing up)
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen
  4. Tap Add

Android (Chrome):

  1. Open BabyLog in Chrome
  2. Tap the three-dot menu ⋮
  3. Tap Add to Home Screen or Install App

See the PWA Guide for more detail.

5. Invite your partner

Go to Settings → Your Babies → [Baby name] → Sharing and tap Invite caregiver. Enter their email address and choose a role:

  • Editor — can log and edit activities
  • Viewer — can see logs but cannot add or edit

They'll receive an email invitation and can join from any device, including Android if you're on iPhone.

See the Sharing guide for full details on managing access.
