Sharing
BabyLog is built for households where multiple people care for the same baby. You can invite your partner, grandparents, a nanny, or any other carer — and everyone sees the same logs in real time, regardless of whether they use iPhone or Android.
Inviting a caregiver
- Go to Settings → Your Babies → [Baby name] → Sharing
- Tap Invite caregiver
- Enter their email address
- Choose a role: Editor or Viewer
- Tap Send invite
They'll receive an email with a link to join. Once they accept, they can see the baby's logs immediately.
Roles
- Owner — view, add, edit, and manage sharing. This is the person who created the baby profile.
- Editor — view, add, and edit logs. Suitable for co-parents and primary carers.
- Viewer — view logs only. Suitable for grandparents or family who want to stay informed.
The Owner is the person who created the baby profile. Ownership cannot currently be transferred.
Editors are suitable for co-parents and primary carers who need to log activities.
Viewers are suitable for grandparents or family members who want to stay informed but don't need to add entries.
Requesting access
If someone wants access to a baby already in BabyLog, they can request it from within the app:
- Sign in (or create an account)
- On the home screen, tap Join or request access
- Enter the baby's code or the owner's invite link
The owner will receive a notification and can approve or decline the request.
Managing access
From Settings → Your Babies → [Baby name] → Sharing, the owner can:
- See all active caregivers and their roles
- Change a caregiver's role between Editor and Viewer
- Remove a caregiver's access entirely
Removing access takes effect immediately — the caregiver will no longer be able to see or add logs.
What shared users can see
Shared users see the same log timeline as the owner, including all activity types. They cannot:
- See the owner's account details
- Modify sharing settings
- Delete the baby profile
