What Clear Day Family does

A baby tracker, a family calendar and private photo sharing in one free app. Everything below works in any browser today; the iPhone and Android apps are coming soon.

Baby tracker: feeds, naps and diapers

Log bottles, nursing, pumping, naps, meals, diapers and notes in a tap or two. Start a nap or feeding timer and stop it later from any device.

  • Feeding and stash: pumping, the freezer stash and formula supply
  • Trends: sleep, feeds and diapers over weeks
  • Next nap and bedtime predictions from your child's own logs (Family Circle; free accounts can try them for 7 days)
  • A handoff note for the sitter, right on Today
  • Everyone with logging access can add to the day, and every log shows who added it

Tell or ask: log by typing, ask about your schedule

Write what happened the way you'd text it, like “4 oz at 2, napped 3 to 4:10”, and check the logs it makes before anything is saved. Ask “When is picture day?” or “Who has pickup Friday?” and get the answer with the email, calendar or log it came from.

Free: 5 questions a day and 30 typed logs a month. Family Circle: unlimited.

  • Send a photo: a daycare sheet becomes logs, a school flyer goes to the family inbox
  • If it can't find something, it says so
  • Nothing is saved until you approve it

One family calendar, lists and pickups

Your plans, school days and specials, lunch menus, custody days and pickups in one calendar, in Month, Agenda or Day view.

  • Pickups and drop-offs: who's getting whom, and when
  • Shared lists and duties, and who's doing what
  • Subscribe to a team or class calendar by link (2 on the free plan)
  • Connect Google or Outlook to see busy times and catch pickup conflicts (Family Circle; busy times only, never event details)
  • Subscribe to the family calendar from any calendar app

Co-parenting: custody schedule and shared expenses

Set whose days are whose and when handoffs happen. Both parents see the same schedule, and it shows on the family calendar.

Log what was spent on each child, attach the receipt, and see who covered what.

  • Only parents see shared expenses
  • Custody days more than a month back are locked, so the record stays as it was
  • Caregivers with logging access see whose day it is

The school day: rotation days, specials and lunch menus

A/B days, Day 1 to 6 or weekly specials. Today shows “Day 3 · Art” and what's for lunch, so nobody forgets sneakers on gym day.

If your child's school uses Clear Day, the school day shows up on its own.

  • Add the school calendar from a photo or PDF (3 a month free)
  • Lunch menus read from the menu email
  • Mark days off in bulk for breaks and teacher workdays
  • Every school day shows where it came from; if it isn't sure, it asks

Milestones and stars

Tick off firsts as they happen, see what's typical to come next at your child's age, and share a milestone with your circle as a post.

Stars keep the day's goals simple: brush teeth, shoes on, a kind word. Stars add up to the rewards you set.

  • Untick by mistake? Undo it
  • Milestone posts are dated in your child's time zone

Private photo sharing, photo books and art

Photos, videos and milestones in one timeline. Each post has an audience, so the first steps video can go to grandparents while bath photos stay with parents.

  • Comments and reactions from the people who can see the post
  • Photo books: turn a year of photos into a book
  • Art and schoolwork: snap a drawing or worksheet and keep it by child and school year
  • Choose who can save and share each photo
  • The location saved in a photo is removed when it's uploaded

Your circle: grandparents, co-parents and sitters

Invite people to a child's circle and choose what each person can do: Everything, Can log (for caregivers), Photos and milestones (for relatives) or View only. Change it or remove someone at any time.

  • Relatives open a shared link without an account
  • A weekly email of new posts for relatives, if you turn it on
  • Share with 2 people besides parents on the free plan; Family Circle removes the limit

Family inbox for school email

Give your family address to the school office, teachers and activities, or forward a single email. Dates, menus, forms and to-dos are pulled out for you to approve.

  • Add from a photo: snap a paper flyer and it's read like an email
  • Put a child's name in the subject and it goes to that child
  • Choose which senders it reads; mail from anyone else is held and deleted after 7 days
  • Family Circle lets you pick your own address

Photo frames and calendar feeds

Give a digital frame its own address and the photos you choose go to it. No limit on how many frames you connect.

  • Approve the first send to each frame
  • Turn off a feed or frame address at any time

Coming in the iPhone and Android apps

The apps bring logging to your lock screen. Your web account carries over, so there's nothing to move when they launch.

  • Widgets, Control Center and a lock-screen nap timer
  • Log with Siri (Family Circle)
  • Children's names stay off the lock screen unless you turn them on
