How long the baby has been awake sits at the top of Today, next to the time since the last feed and the last diaper.
A 24-hour view lines up sleep, feeds and diapers, so patterns across the newborn weeks are easy to see without adding anything up.
Start a sleep timer and it keeps running on your lock screen on Android, and for everyone in the family, until someone stops it.
Log a nap after the fact with its real start and end time, or fix a timer that ran too long. Every change is kept in the entry history.
Night mode keeps the screen dark and warm from 20:00 to 07:00, so checking the time does not wake anyone up.
Charts show total sleep per day and each nap, so you can see how the days are changing week by week.
Every sleep entry has a start and an end, so Ella can show both the sleep itself and the time the baby has been awake since. That awake time is often the most useful number of the day, because it is the one you check before deciding whether to start the wind-down.
In the newborn weeks, sleep comes in short pieces around the clock. The 24-hour view lines up each day as a row, with sleep, feeds and diapers in place, so a longer stretch or a new first nap shows up by itself. Charts add up the total sleep per day, if you like to see the trend.
If a grandparent or a nanny puts the baby down, they can start the sleep timer on their own phone or browser. You see it running at once, and the time they stopped it, without a phone call. Everyone logs into the same journal, and each entry shows who added it.

At night, most parents only log when the baby falls asleep and when they wake for a feed. That is enough: Ella draws each stretch on the 24-hour view and adds it to the day total. If you drift off before tapping stop, fix the end time in the morning.
A nap in the car or the stroller counts too. Start the timer from the widget or the lock screen, or add the nap afterwards with its real times. Whoever is out with the baby can log it from their own phone.
The sleep chart shows total sleep per day and splits daytime naps from night sleep. Look at it week to week rather than day to day; single days jump around. Ella shows what you logged and never scores or judges a night.
The 24-hour view puts sleep next to feeds and diapers, so you can see how a long nap moved the next feed, or how the evening feeds lead into the first night stretch.
If one parent does the bedtime feed and the other the settling, both can log from their own phones. The timer that one starts, the other can stop.
Switch the chart to 14 or 30 days to see longer stretches of night sleep appear. It describes your baby's own pattern, without comparing it with anyone else's.
If the baby falls asleep on the way home, start the sleep timer from the lock screen or add the nap later with its real start time. The day's total stays accurate.
No. Ella records the sleep you log and shows it back as charts. It does not recommend schedules or give medical advice.
Yes. Anyone you invite with permission to add entries can start and stop a sleep timer, and everyone sees it.
Yes. Add it with the time it started and ended, or edit a timer after you stop it.
Yes. The timer lives in the shared journal, so it keeps running on every phone, and on Android it also shows on the lock screen.
On Android, Ella has white noise and a light built in, one tap from the widget.
