One tap each morning. Watch a hard first year slowly turn light, then share the picture every parent recognises. Some nights they sleep. Most nights, at first, they do not. DotBaby turns that first year into a single picture: one dot for every night, dark when it was rough and bright when they slept, so the months you survived become something you can actually see. ONE YEAR. ONE GRID. ONE TAP A DAY. Every morning you answer one question, with one tap: how did last night go? That is the entire app. No timers to start, no feeds to log, no forms to fill in while holding a baby in the other arm. Over weeks the grid tells the story on its own. A dark block at the start. Scattered brighter nights. Then, slowly, a year that turns light. - - - - - - - - - - WHY DOTBABY? TEN SECONDS A DAY Four choices: Rough, Broken, Decent, Slept. Tap one and put the phone down. Missed a few days? Tap any dot on the grid to fill it in later. THE PICTURE, NOT THE SPREADSHEET Other trackers give you charts you never open. DotBaby gives you one image that means something at a glance, to you and to anyone you show it to. MARK WHAT MATTERS Add milestones to the grid. First smile. First tooth. First time they slept through. They appear as rings around the night they happened, so the good moments sit in the middle of the hard ones, where they actually belong. SHARE THE YEAR Generate a beautiful image of the grid, with your baby's name and age, and a key so it makes sense to everyone else. Post it, send it to the people who checked in on you at 4am, or keep it. BEYOND THE FIRST YEAR The grid does not stop at twelve months. Move between years of life and keep going for as long as you want to. - - - - - - - - - - PRIVACY FIRST Everything stays on your phone. DotBaby has no account, no sign-up, no cloud, and no server to sync to. It does not ask for Health access, because it does not read any. Your baby's name, birth date, nights and milestones never leave the device. - - - - - - - - - - PERFECT FOR - New parents in the middle of the fourth trimester - Anyone who has lost track of what a normal night looks like - Parents who want a keepsake, not a dashboard - Second and third-time parents comparing how different it felt - Anyone who has ever been asked "is she sleeping through yet?" - - - - - - - - - - HOW IT WORKS 1. Enter your baby's birth date, and their name if you want it on the grid 2. Each morning, tap how the night went 3. Add milestones as they happen 4. Watch the grid brighten over the months 5. Share the year whenever you feel like it - - - - - - - - - - THE DOTBABY PHILOSOPHY In the middle of it, every night feels the same and nothing feels like progress. It is very hard to notice getting better while it is happening. A grid notices. It holds the whole year at once, so the bad fortnight you are living through sits next to the twenty good nights before it. Nothing is being scored. Nothing is being compared to another baby. It is just a record that this happened, and that it changed. - - - - - - - - - - One dot for every night. One tap every morning. One year you will want to keep.
