Happy Saturday r/apple,

I’m a dad and an indie developer. When my kid was born, I started using the popular baby tracking apps to log sleep, feeds, and growth. They were polished, but I realized two things that bothered me:

1. Data Privacy: Most of them upload sensitive health data and photos to their servers for analytics.
2. The Subscriptions: Basic features like "Dark Mode" or "Growth Charts" were often locked behind $30/year subscriptions.

So, I built KidBase.

The Philosophy: It’s a "Local-First" app. All data (photos, logs, growth metrics) lives on your device or your personal iCloud. I don't see it, and I don't sell it.

What it does:

• Growth Charts: plots height/weight against WHO (World Health Organization) percentiles.
• The Daily Grind: Quick logging for Breast/Bottle feeding, Sleep, and Diapers.
• Milestones: A timeline view for "First Smile," "First Step," etc.
• Widgets: For quick logging from the home screen.

The Launch Deal: The app is free to download. Usually, there is a one-time purchase ($3.99) for the "Premium" features (Unlimited logs, etc). For the launch this weekend, I have set the Lifetime Premium IAP to $0.00 (Free).

You can grab it, unlock Premium for free in the settings, and keep it forever.

I’d love to hear your feedback on the UI or if there are specific charts/metrics you feel are missing from current apps on the market.
