Baby Daybook alternatives: free sleep schedules and sync

Baby Daybook logs feeds, sleep, nappies, potty, growth and health, and its store listing describes real-time next-nap prediction. Its own Premium page puts the full daily sleep schedule and family sync in Premium. If you want the sleep prediction free, Pixy fits it to your child’s own wake windows with no trial. If you want two parents logging free, Sofi and Pippy list caregiver sync without a subscription; on Pixy, sharing is in the family tiers.

Pixy is ours and it is on this page, so read the rest knowing that. Every claim about another app below comes from that app’s own page, linked at the foot, read on 29 September 2026.

What Baby Daybook keeps for Premium

Its App Store listing is broad: breastfeeding, pumping, bottles and solids, sleep, nappies and potty training, growth against CDC and WHO charts, teething, health, reminders, reports and export. It leads with real-time next-nap prediction. Its own Premium page is where the line sits: the full daily sleep schedule and family sync with a partner, grandparents or a nanny are Premium.

So the two reasons people usually look elsewhere are the schedule and the second parent. Different alternatives solve different ones.

Which one, and for whom

  • Pixy, if the sleep schedule is what you are missing. Sleep Window prediction reads your own child’s logged wake windows and is free with no trial. You also get six quick-log modules on one screen, plain-language logging (type “fed 120ml, back down at 3:40” and it lands in the right place), routines, reports, widgets, growth, offline logging and a JSON export, and it runs to age twelve, where Baby Daybook’s listing goes as far as potty training. Sharing with a partner is a subscription on Pixy too. What a free account gets sets out the split.
  • Sofi, if you want the schedule and the second parent without paying. Its site lists both as free, with no paid tier.
  • Pippy, if two of you log and neither likes typing. Voice logging and real-time sync are its argument.
  • Huckleberry, if you want an expert sleep plan rather than a prediction. Its free tier includes multi-device sync; prediction and plans are paid.

Before you switch

Export from Baby Daybook first; it lists exportable data and printable reports. Then log one real day in your likeliest replacement, the 4am feed included. If Premium is what you are weighing, the trackers without a subscription page sorts free apps from free trials, and the full comparison has seven apps side by side.

Questions parents ask

Is Baby Daybook free?

The logging is. Its App Store listing covers feeds, sleep, nappies, potty training, growth charts, teething and health logs, and its own Premium page puts the full daily sleep schedule and family sync with a partner, grandparents or a nanny in Premium.

Which alternative to Baby Daybook has a free sleep schedule?

Pixy includes Sleep Window prediction in its free version with no trial, fitted to your own child’s logged wake windows. Sofi states its sleep predictions are free, with no premium tier at all. Napper’s free version gives a schedule based on age, with personalisation paid.

Which alternative lets my partner log for free?

Sofi and Pippy both list caregiver sync without a subscription, and Huckleberry lists multi-device sync in its free membership. On Pixy, a shared child profile for a partner or caregiver is in the family tiers; the free version is one adult and one child.

Can I move my Baby Daybook data to another app?

Baby Daybook lists exportable data and printable health and growth reports, so export first. Importing another app’s history is rare, so expect to start a fresh log and keep the old one for the paediatrician.

General information, not medical advice. Every child develops on their own timeline and the ranges here are typical, not targets. Pixy is a tracking tool, not a medical device. For anything about your child’s health, ask your paediatrician or health visitor.

Track it instead of remembering it

Pixy logs sleep, feeds and routines from newborn to age 12, and predicts the next nap from your child’s own wake windows. That part is free.
