Getting started
You can keep personal records without creating an account. Use Today for quick recording, Care for daily care and play, Records for history and charts, and Growth for measurements. Profile and app settings are in More.
My Little Days is a record-keeping tool, not a diagnosis or emergency service. Do not delay professional help to enter information in the app. Growth references and play suggestions do not replace advice from your healthcare professional.
Records views and feed timers in version 0.2.2
These controls are included in version 0.2.2 and later; earlier versions may show a different layout.
In Records → Overview, expand the section to switch between Calendar and Bar chart views. The switch is beside the Overview heading, or below it on narrower screens, and is hidden when Overview is collapsed. Daily rhythm remains a separate section; select a date to see that day's records from newest to oldest.
Use More → Default Records view to choose the Overview view and whether Overview, Daily rhythm and past-day charts start expanded. With no saved preferences, those three sections start collapsed; today's bar charts stay expanded. These preferences are saved on this device.
When finishing an active feed timer, Confirm and save saves the finished feed, while Cancel and continue feeding keeps the timer running. Discard record asks for a separate confirmation before discarding that feed. In family mode, deletion is subject to permissions and is not server-confirmed until synchronisation succeeds. If the start was already being sent, it may be accepted before its queued deletion. Follow any pending-change or conflict instructions rather than assuming the shared record has already been removed.
Optional AI sleep suggestions
Open Records → Sleep guidance. Availability depends on your app version and whether the service has been enabled. If the section says AI is not available yet, your records and normal charts still work; reinstalling the app will not enable the service.
When available, sign in and check that the baby's date of birth is correct. In version 0.2.3 (build 74) and later, open the AI consent link to read the sharing details. Choose Enable AI to consent and enable with one tap; there is no confirmation popup. The same button becomes Turn off AI while enabled. It is optional and separate from family sharing. Your baby's age in days, time zone, current time and recent sleep/feeding times, types and milk amounts are sent through our server to OpenAI. Names, the full date of birth, photos and notes are not included. See the privacy policy for the full description.
In TestFlight version 0.2.4 (build 77), AI estimates only the remaining sleep periods and windows to begin settling from now until the next local midnight. Its main reference is the previous seven complete local dates, excluding today; today's recorded sleep and feeding provide adjustment context, with age as a supporting reference. Older version 0.2.3 requests a whole-day plan. Updated requests can also include the last accepted AI plan for the same local day, account, baby and time zone, including its generation time and suggested periods. That earlier plan is an estimate to reconsider, not a recorded event.
The clock shows recorded sleep separately from AI suggestions. Version 0.2.3 (build 75) and later show the full 24-hour day; earlier builds used a twelve-hour clock that could move forward in four-hour steps. Green shows recorded sleep, red shows predicted sleep and yellow shows when to begin settling. In TestFlight 0.2.4 (77), recorded sleep comes from your saved records and AI supplies only the remaining predictions; an overnight prediction stops at midnight because that is the prediction horizon, not an instruction to wake your child. Tap the clock to move through individual periods and show their full start and end times; VoiceOver also provides access to those ranges. AI predicted sleep is an estimated sleep period. An AI suggested settling-start window is a range in which you could begin soothing, not how long you should keep soothing.
For completed sleep, recorded start and end times remain the observed times. In version 0.2.3 an ongoing sleep can have an estimated waking time; it is not a confirmed end time and does not stop the timer. The AI does not add a settling window to a completed or already-started recorded sleep. Finish a sleep record only when the baby has actually woken. Past periods in the plan are context, not instructions to act retrospectively.
These are uncertain estimates, not medical advice, a proven best bedtime or instructions to train your baby. Follow tired and hunger cues; do not wake your baby, delay feeds or keep them awake to match the suggested times. Follow any individual advice from your healthcare professional.
While enabled, new, edited or removed sleep/feeding records—including starting or ending a timer—can update suggestions. Version 0.2.3 requests updates automatically when eligible, after relevant changes or a new local day, without a manual refresh button. A changing clock, rearranging records or editing notes alone does not request a new plan. Earlier builds may still offer Refresh AI suggestions and may return no plan while a timer is running. Any build may return no periods if the history is insufficient or conflicting, or the service is unavailable. The app does not substitute an on-device prediction; recorded sleep remains visible. Do not alter genuine records just to trigger an update.
Resumable AI in version 0.2.3: AI generation runs as a saved server task after you enable AI with consent to temporary request/result storage. An earlier consent that did not cover this storage must be renewed before sending. Switching apps pauses status checks, not the server task. Returning to the app, or restarting it, reconnects to that same task. The breathing brain represents a pending task, including a temporary interruption while reconnecting; it is not a guarantee that OpenAI is currently processing it. A completed result replaces it, while a confirmed failure is explained in plain language under How to use. There is no manual refresh button or temporary debug panel. If the service restarts, an interrupted task can have one bounded recovery attempt; successful generation is not guaranteed.
Choose Turn off AI in this section to stop future requests and clear suggestions on that device without deleting your records. For resumable tasks, this also requests cancellation and clears the corresponding server results once connected. An offline cancellation is saved to send later. It cannot recall information already sent to OpenAI. If saving the off setting fails, use Retry saving the off setting; the current session stops sending, but the app cannot confirm the choice will persist after a restart until it is saved. Check the setting separately for other accounts, baby contexts or devices.
Starting with the 18 October 2026 service update, if a response to a new resumable AI task fails, the service automatically keeps that failed response and limited failure details in a restricted database for troubleshooting, without an additional app update or a separate diagnostics prompt. This can include sleep or feeding times in the response, even if a later retry succeeds. It does not add another copy of your submitted history or prompt, and successful responses are not copied into diagnostics. Failed-response diagnostics expire after seven days and are automatically removed by the regular cleanup; an outage or backlog can delay physical deletion. Turning off AI clears the corresponding diagnostics once connected. Ordinary AI request contents are still cleared when the task ends, and ordinary task results still expire at local midnight. AI remains optional. See the privacy policy for access, deletion and backup details.
Family sharing
Sign in through More → My account, then open Family sharing. Sharing starts only after the relevant create/join confirmation.
- Create a family: uploads the personal history and other baby information shown for your review. After successful activation, the app uses the shared family data and clears the original personal data and recovery copies.
- Join a family: downloads the family's history and replaces your original personal data after verification and saving. It does not merge or upload your old personal history.
Export important personal records before either transition. The person with the most complete history should normally create the family. Invite only people you trust: all active members can view the shared information and export confirmed server data.
Offline or “Session expired”
Personal recording works offline. In an existing family workspace, permitted edits can be saved locally as pending changes; being saved on this device does not mean the server has accepted them.
If sign-in expires, reconnect and use Sign in again with the same account. Synchronisation resumes only after sign-in and family access are verified. If the app reports a conflict or rejected change, follow its review instructions rather than assuming the change was shared.
Do not uninstall the app, clear its storage or sign out to fix pending changes. Signing out discards local family content and unsent work. Removal from a family or a closed family can also prevent pending work from being accepted; an offline device learns of access changes after reconnecting.
Backups and exports
Open More → Backup and restore. Personal backups support export and import. Active family members can download confirmed server data, but cannot restore a file into the shared family. Pending local changes are not included in that server download.
Exported JSON files are not encrypted. Store them privately and share them carefully. Copies saved outside the app are not recalled by signing out, leaving a family or deleting an account.
The app's iOS SQLite data directory is excluded from system backups. Do not rely on iCloud/device backup alone to preserve personal records or unsent changes.
Reminders, Apple Watch and widgets
Enable care-reminder delivery on each phone in More → Care reminders, and allow notifications in iOS Settings. Shared reminder rules do not automatically enable alerts on every phone. Focus and system notification settings can affect delivery.
The Apple Watch companion exchanges records with its paired iPhone. Open the iPhone app, confirm the correct account/family and check the Watch's sync status if records are pending. A pending or “not applied” item is not confirmation that the family received it.
Widgets display a saved summary and may not reflect the latest changes immediately. Open the app to check current records and sync status. Avoid exposing the widget on a device or screen others can access if that information is private.
Optional “Buy me a coffee” support
Open More → Buy me a coffee. Each amount is optional, repeatable, one-time support through Apple's in-app purchase system. It is not a subscription and does not unlock features or buy physical coffee.
Prices come from your Apple storefront. If a price changes when refreshed, the app asks you to review it before continuing. Always check the amount and currency on Apple's confirmation sheet; cancel if they differ from what you intended.
Apple manages payment and purchase history. For a refund request, use Apple's refund instructions. Deleting your app account does not itself request a refund. Consumable support purchases do not create a restorable entitlement.
Leaving a family or deleting an account
These actions are different:
- Sign out: removes local family content and sign-in details; already shared contributions remain on the service.
- Leave or be removed: ends family access; already accepted contributions remain with the family.
- Delete account: after the service accepts the request, access stops and deletion processing begins. It removes family records you created or last edited, including records originally created by someone else. This can affect the remaining family members.
For account deletion, sign in through More → My account, then use Delete account in More. If you are the family administrator, first follow the ownership-transfer or eligible family-closure flow shown in Family sharing. Read the confirmation carefully. The app shows deletion progress; a pending request is not completed deletion. Uninstalling the app does not delete the service account.
If you cannot access your account or need help with a privacy request, email contact@reticle.com.au. Do not send a sign-in code. We may need information to verify your request without exposing another family member's data.
