Family Logbook
The Family Logbook mark: three figures behind an open book.

A shared logbook for your household

Feeds, sleep, walks and chores, logged in one tap and kept in step on both your phones.

It is not out yet. Family Logbook is still in testing on Android. This page is here so that the privacy policy and the instructions for deleting your account have somewhere to live before it is published.

What it is

A logbook for one household, shared by the people in it. It was built for the moment you actually use it, which is usually one-handed, in the dark, at three in the morning, by somebody who is holding a baby and has not slept. Everything in it follows from that.

One tap, or a timer

A tile either records the moment you tap it, like a nappy or a bottle or the bins, or it starts a timer that you stop again later, like a feed or a walk. There are no menus to work through and you never need a second hand.

You can write it down late

If you forgot the three o'clock feed and only remember at breakfast, hold the tile down and move the entry back to when it really happened.

Setup asks who lives here

Rather than making you pick a template, it asks you to count up the newborns, the older children, the pets and the chores you share. Your tiles are ready by the time you finish.

It stays in step on both phones

A timer that one of you started shows up as running on the other's phone, and stopping it there stops it here as well.

It works without a signal

The whole app works offline and catches up once you have a connection again. Bad wifi in a dark bedroom is the normal case rather than the exception.

English and Dutch

Both of them written properly, rather than one of them run through a translator.

What it looks like

The home screen, showing the time since the last feed, today's entries, and the dock of tiles.

What it does not do

There is no advertising and there are no analytics, so nothing is measuring what you tap or whether you open the app at all. It never asks for your photos, your location or your contacts. Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared with anybody outside your household.

You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app. The privacy policy says exactly what is stored and why, and the page on deleting your account explains how to do it without the app if you have already uninstalled it.
