I’m not sure if this is the best place for this cross-post, nor do I know how many users here occupy the parent+tech-savvy/sysop intersectional space. But for anyone with a child and privacy focused, this webapp made by Rikudou_Sage might be of interest?
Keep in mind, it doesn’t come with any instructions on self-hosting. It seems to leverage the serverless framework, though.
If this post is a bad fit, feel free to remove!
The github repos and the link to the Play Store app (it’s a wrapper) can be found under the original post spoiler section below.

A while ago I made an app for tracking baby activities because I became a parent and was horrified at how many permissions the existing apps required and how much tracking they contained. Both the app and the server are open source.
This is a web-app which also has an Android version in the Play Store (F-Droid didn’t accept it because they don’t feel like web-apps should be welcome in their store). On iPhones it can be installed as a PWA to the home screen.
Features:
- No tracking whatsoever
- End-to-end encrypted, no personal information is stored on the server unencrypted
- Track baby’s feeding, diaper changes, breast pumping and sleeping (more to come)
Links:
- https://baby-journal.app - the PWA itself
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.baby_journal.twa - the Play Store Android wrapper
- https://github.com/RikudouSage/BabyJournalApi - the server source code

Hey there, author here! I currently don’t have anything setup but I plan on adding both in-app “purchases” (for the Google Play version) and Ko-fi or something like that for non-play version. It’ll be in the menu, so if you decide to donate once it’s there, I’ll be very grateful!
I’ll definitely keep an eye out for the donate/buy option!
Do you have a place for feature requests? Would be good if it could log…

I’m genuinely excited to hear about this app. Please please do keep it going.
Sure, you can make feature requests on GitHub, either of the two projects is fine. Or on the official forum !baby_journal@lemmings.world.
