Every vaccine, dose, measurement and prescription for your child, kept on your phone. No account, no ads, nothing uploaded — and it works with no signal at all.
Baby Steps is a calm, private place to keep everything about a child's health: doctor visits, vaccinations, medications, growth, milestones, and the papers a clinic hands you.
It works entirely on your phone. There is no account to create, no server, and nothing is ever uploaded — which is also why it keeps working with no signal at all.
VACCINATIONS, ON YOUR COUNTRY'S SCHEDULE
Pick your country and Baby Steps builds the whole schedule from the dates your country reports to the WHO — 219 countries, not one generic list. Egypt's Ministry of Health card is included in full, with the Arabic names, volumes and routes printed on it. Record a dose late and everything after it moves with it.
MEDICATION REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE
Enter a course once and every dose is scheduled, and the reminder arrives even with Sleep or a Focus switched on. Tap it to open straight onto that dose and answer Given, Snooze or Skip. A dose nobody answered stays on screen until a person decides — the app never marks a dose for you, and never quietly moves a late one next to the next one.
TODAY IN ONE PLACE, AND ONLY TODAY
Everything waiting on you sits on one screen: doses due, what has gone past, what is coming, the tasks a visit left behind. Home is for the other question — how your child is doing, and what has actually happened.
GROWTH, TEETH AND MILESTONES
Every weighing and measuring in one list you can scroll and correct — the date, where it was taken, and the note you made at the time. Each one is placed against the WHO Child Growth Standards, with the percentile worked out for your child's exact age. Development checklists in the CDC's own words, and the teeth as they come through. A guide, not a test — nothing here is scored, and nothing ever records a milestone as not reached.
EVERY PAPER, FILED
Photograph a prescription, a lab result or an ultrasound and file it under the visit or the illness it belongs to. Baby Steps does not read the page: you give it a title and say what kind of paper it is. Nothing is extracted, and nothing is guessed.
READING YOU CAN CHECK
Twenty-nine short articles on sleep, feeding, teething, growth, development and safety — each one naming its publisher, the document, and the date it was last checked. The WHO, the NHS, the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Matched to your child's age, and readable at three in the morning with no signal.
EVERYTHING ELSE
A health calendar, every visit with the questions you meant to ask, illnesses filed as one episode, medical history with serious allergies at the top, symptoms, feeding, and one search across all of it. More than one child, if you have more than one.
IN ARABIC, PROPERLY
The whole app is translated and lays out right to left — including the reminders themselves. Arabic is a supported language here, not a later promise.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-in, no server
• No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, no tracking
• Records are excluded from iCloud backup, so they do not leave the device
• Export everything to a single file you control, or delete everything, both from inside the app
Baby Steps stores and reminds. It does not diagnose, prescribe or give medical advice — your child's doctor does that. Vaccine dates come from the WHO/UNICEF Joint Reporting Form and growth percentiles from the WHO Child Growth Standards, and every screen says where its information came from.
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Five releases in one update, a new look throughout, and a round of changes a parent asked for.
NEW
• A reference library — 29 short articles on sleep, feeding, teething, growth, development and safety, each naming the WHO, NHS, CDC or AAP page it came from.
• Medical reports. Photograph a prescription, lab result or ultrasound and file it under the visit or the illness it belongs to.
• Health episodes, so everything from one illness sits together.
• Medical history, with serious allergies shown first on your child's profile.
• Development milestones, in the CDC's own words.
• Talking points — simple counts to take to an appointment.
• Search across every record, and room for more than one child.
• A short tour, once, the first time you open it.
CHANGED
• Home and the to-do list are two screens now. Home opens on the latest weight and height and then what has actually happened; everything waiting on you — doses, past due, coming up, tasks — is on To-do.
• Growth is a log you can scroll and correct, every measurement placed against the WHO standards. The chart has gone.
• Medicines can be edited after you add them, and you choose the times their doses fall at instead of accepting ours.
• The library is the book at the top of Home, beside the calendar.
• Setup can take a first weight and height, if you have them.
• The app opens light unless you choose otherwise — More → Appearance still has System and Dark.
• Reminders are scheduled closer in, because iPhones hold a limited number of alarms and quietly drop the rest. Nothing waiting on you was ever lost: an unanswered dose stays on screen however long it has been.
REMOVED — worth reading before you update
• Emergency contacts are gone, and any numbers you saved there are deleted by this update.
• Your child's standing doctor and clinic have been removed from their profile. Every doctor visit still records who was seen.
• The per-feed log is gone. Feeding now records the ways your child is fed, and their history.
Still no account, no server, and nothing sent anywhere.
