The facts
| Name | CradleFree, one word, with a capital C and F. On the App Store it's “CradleFree: Baby Tracker”. It has nothing to do with other apps that have Cradle in their names. |
|---|---|
| What it logs | Breastfeeds, bottles, pumping, solids, diapers, sleep, growth, temperature, medicine, vaccines and symptoms. |
| Lock screen | Start a feed and lock your phone. The card on the lock screen switches sides, pauses and ends the feed, with no Face ID. |
| At night | From evening to morning the app is pure black and amber. No sounds and no vibration; the only thing that rings is a next-feed alarm you set yourself. |
| Platform | iPhone only, iOS 26 or later. There is no iPad, Android or Apple Watch version. |
| Languages | English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. |
| Category | Health & Fitness on the App Store, rated 4+. |
| Price | Free to download, with everything free for the first 14 days. Then keep the free version or buy the Family Pass: $19.99 once, not a subscription. See pricing. |
| Family sharing | Up to six people log the same baby through the family's own iCloud. See family sharing. |
| Data | No account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Records stay on your iPhone and in your family's iCloud, where we can't see them. See the privacy policy. |
| Who makes it | One parent. It started as an app for his wife's night feeds, and she is still its first user. |
| Availability | Coming soon to the App Store. |
| Contact | support@cradlefree.com. The parent who made the app answers, usually within two days. |

In a paragraph
CradleFree is a baby tracker for iPhone. Start a feed and lock your phone: the card on the lock screen switches sides, pauses and ends the feed with no Face ID and no app to open. From evening to morning the app turns pure black and amber, and it stays silent unless you set a next-feed alarm. It logs breastfeeds, bottles, pumping, solids, diapers and sleep, and up to six family members can share one baby through their own iCloud, with no account to make. Everything is free for 14 days; after that, logging by hand and exporting stay free, and the Family Pass is a one-time $19.99 purchase, not a subscription. CradleFree is made by one parent, comes in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, and needs iOS 26 or later.
