A self-hosted web app for caregivers to track baby activities like sleep, feedings, and diaper changes to predict needs.
Baby Buddy is a self-hosted web application that helps caregivers track a baby's daily activities such as sleep, feedings, diaper changes, and tummy time. It aims to reduce guesswork by allowing users to log data and identify patterns in the baby's needs over time. The application provides a clean interface, supports multiple caregivers, and offers integration with smart home systems.
Caregivers, parents, and guardians of infants who want a private, self-hosted solution for tracking baby activities and predicting needs. It's also suitable for developers interested in integrating baby tracking with home automation platforms like Home Assistant.
Developers choose Baby Buddy for its open-source nature, self-hosting capability, and strong privacy focus, giving users full control over their data. It offers extensive customization, a REST API for integrations, and a community-driven ecosystem with support for multiple languages and hardware projects.

Available in over 20 languages with per-user settings, including less common ones like Hebrew and Ukrainian, thanks to community translation efforts.

Offers a REST API that allows developers to build custom frontends or integrate with other systems, as shown in the example TypeScript frontend based on Remix.
Requires self-hosting on a server, which involves setup and ongoing maintenance, making it less accessible for non-technical users despite documentation.
Lacks a built-in native mobile app; while community projects like an Android app exist, the core experience is browser-based, which can be less convenient on mobile.
Focuses on logging activities but has limited built-in analytics for trend analysis, relying on exports or third-party tools like Grafana for advanced insights.
