the cost of doing this with five apps
right now, the average new parent has a sleep tracker, a feeding tracker, a milestone tracker, a photo album, and a notes app full of half-finished questions for the pediatrician. the cheapest one is free, with ads. the most expensive runs four hundred dollars a year and needs its own camera mounted to the wall.
none of them talk to each other. you’ve typed your baby’s birth date into every one of them. you’ve googled the same question three times this week because you can’t remember which app you logged the answer in last time. and on the morning of the pediatrician visit, you’re scrolling backward through three apps trying to piece together what happened.
you shouldn’t need five apps to remember one kid.
