Sprout Track

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm the creator of Sprout Track.

I built this because I was frustrated with existing baby tracking apps. They were either loaded with ads, had basic features locked behind paywalls, or constantly tried to up-sell me on products I didn't need.

When our son was born, we needed something simple that his grandparents could actually use to help with care. Most apps required everyone to download something or create accounts which was a non-starter for our 70-year-old parents! We also had a nanny access the app, but after that didn't work out, I was able to quickly disable their account.

The grandparents thought the app was super easy to use. They loved that they didn't need another app on their phone, and they could follow along with his morning routine before we even dropped him off for work!

When building the app, I wanted three things:

• Easy communication - What happened during the day without playing phone tag

• Simple pediatrician visits - Answer "How often does he eat or poop?" without scrolling through charts and graphs

• Quick logging - Add entries from any device in seconds

Cross family care for our son was paramount and family communication improved dramatically. Grandparents could jump in and help without any tech barriers. And our pediatrician visits became so much smoother - I could instantly answer every question they asked.

I kept it web-based so it works on any device, added simple ID/PIN sharing so no one needs accounts, and focused on the core features that actually matter for new parents.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! I know not everyone will like that it isn't a phone app, and that's fine.

During the beta period anyone who signs up can use the app completely free, forever. No Ad's, no spam, unlimited caretakers and kids.

Congrats on the launch! 🎉 @john_overton1

As a parent, I really love the simplicity-first approach here. Most baby tracking apps feel overloaded or pushy with upsells, so making it web-based and easy for grandparents/nannies to use without accounts is a huge win.

Do you see Sprout Track staying fully web-based, or do you plan to add a mobile app later for parents who prefer it?

No accounts or app downloads for grandparents is legit genius—makes everyone’s life 100x easier. This is exactly what family baby care needs, tbh. Nice work!
