Every day, one activity chosen for your baby's age, from birth to 3. Plus sleep, feeds and diapers logged in one tap.
PapaKoala shows you what to do with your baby every day, from birth to age 3: one activity chosen for their age, with clear steps and things you already have at home. And when you need it, log their day in one tap and learn their own sleep rhythm.
A baby's brain roughly doubles in volume during the first year (Knickmeyer et al., J Neurosci 2008). Everyday moments of play and care matter, and they don't need to be complicated.
WHAT TO DO TODAY
• Every day, one activity recommended for their age, and another idea if now isn't the moment.
• 184 activities in 16 areas, from movement and language to emotions, created with child development specialists.
• Short video guides for 0–12 months and illustrations from 12 months.
• Active or quiet to fit their sleep rhythm, with everyday household items.
THE DAY, IN ONE TAP
• Sleep, diapers or potty, tummy time and growth.
• Timers that keep running when you close the app: on the Lock Screen, in widgets and in Control Center.
• A Journal with today's timeline, weekly history and your memories.
FEEDS AND FIRST FOODS
• Breastfeeding timer for each side, with a reminder of which side to start on next.
• Bottles in ml or oz, breast milk or formula, plus pumping.
• Solids: pick from the list or add your own foods, and see everything they've tried.
• The 14 major allergens are marked automatically the first time they're tried, with the option to note a reaction.
THEIR OWN SLEEP RHYTHM
• Expected naps and bedtime based only on your baby's own logs, not on generic tables.
• Optional gentle reminders, a bedtime routine and soft noise with a sleep timer.
• Safe sleep guidance with its source (American Academy of Pediatrics).
HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT
• CDC milestones by age, first words and teeth, saved as memories.
• Temperature and medicine, kept as a simple log.
• Check-ups and vaccines with reminders.
A REPORT FOR THE PEDIATRICIAN
• A 7, 14 or 30-day PDF with sleep, feeds, diapers, growth, new foods, allergens, health and milestones.
• Created on your phone and shared only if you choose.
MADE FOR YOUR FAMILY
• Siblings and twins, each with their own day.
• Preemie-friendly: corrected age for stages and activities.
• From pregnancy: prenatal appointments and notes until your baby arrives.
• No account needed. Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud.
• Also offered through partner childcare centers.
SUBSCRIPTION
PapaKoala is free to download. Activities and logging require a monthly or yearly subscription (the yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID, and subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period in your account settings. If your childcare center partners with PapaKoala, you can sign in with its code.
PapaKoala doesn't replace your pediatrician. Health guidance always shows its source.
The days are long, but the years fly by.

i love this app!! the visuals are all clean + gorgeous, and the activities have all been hits with my 8 week old so far. the instructions and videos are clear so i don’t have to put any extra mental effort into understanding them—i just get to launch right into enrichment time. and while some activities are already things i’d tried or had on my radar, there are others that i had never thought of!!! i love how well-sourced and well-organized everything is, and i’m really excited to keep using this as our baby keeps growing. i was so excited to get my wife using it too — it’s exactly what we needed and it came to us at the perfect time :)
Helpful and backed by science

This app is a great tool for a new parent who wants to see what has been scientifically proven to help with the baby’s development. The app does a great job of boiling the information down into easily accessible nuggets so you don’t have to dig through the research yourself.

Excited for this app!

The app looks great. I’ve only got a chance to play around with it a little but my son will be born sometime this week and I’ll get to use it for real. Looking forward to it.
