Shared family tracker: what it does
While you were away
When you come back to Ella, a short summary shows what others logged while you were away: feeds, sleep and diapers, and who logged them.
Every entry shows who logged it
Each person joins as a separate member, so every entry shows who added it, including the latest bottle and diaper records.
Any phone in the family
Family members without Android use Ella in any browser, with the same live journal. The iPhone app is coming soon.
Handover without the chat thread
No more "when did she last eat?" messages. The time since the last feed, the awake time and the last diaper are right at the top for everyone.
Private to your family
Only the people you invite can open the journal. There are no ads, and your journal is never sold.

Why one shared journal beats a chat group
Family chat threads fill up with times and emojis, and the answer to "when did she last eat?" is always twenty messages up. A shared journal keeps the answer at the top of the screen for everyone, and the history in order underneath it, with the name of whoever logged each entry.
Who can do what
Can add entries lets someone log and edit feeds, sleep and diapers; a partner or a nanny usually gets this. View only lets someone follow every entry without changing anything, which suits grandparents who want to keep up. The owner decides who is in the journal and can change what someone can do, remove them or cancel an unused invitation. People who can add entries can invite viewers too.
A day with a nanny
Send the nanny an invitation before the first day. From then on, they see the last feed, nap and diaper before they start, and log the day from their own phone or browser. At lunch you open Ella and see the morning at a glance, without a single message, and when you get home the summary shows the whole afternoon.
Grandparents near and far
Grandparents who help on weekends can log a feed or a nap with a tap when you invite them with Can add entries. Grandparents who live far away can follow the baby's days with View only, without being able to change anything.
Two homes, one journal
If the baby spends time at two homes, both can keep the same journal. Each entry shows who logged it, so nobody wonders whether a feed was already given.
Starting before the baby arrives
Some parents create the journal and invite each other before the birth, so the first feed at home is already shared.
How to share a baby tracker with your family
Open Family & settings (the people icon on Today) and tap Invite someone.
Choose Can add entries for someone who will log, or View only for someone who just wants to follow along. If your journal isn't saved yet, Ella asks you to save it with Google or an email address.
Send the link or show the QR code. Each link is for one person.
They open it on their phone or in any browser, and they're in. Every entry shows who added it.
Other ways to track
Questions parents ask
Can a babysitter join without an account?
Yes. They open the invitation link or scan the QR code on their own phone or in a browser, with no account to create. Whether they can log or only watch depends on the invitation you chose.
Can someone only view the journal?
Yes. Invite them with View only: they see every feed, nap and diaper but can't add or change entries.
Can I remove someone later?
Yes. In Family, the journal's owner can remove someone, change what they can do or cancel an unused invitation.
Does it work for twins?
Yes. Keep both babies in one journal and switch between them.
What if someone has an iPhone?
They can use Ella in Safari today, with the same live journal. The iPhone app is coming soon.
How much does it cost?
Ella is free to start, with no ads. Logging and the shared family journal work from day one, and the widget comes with the Android app. If we add optional paid features later, we will always show the price before you pay anything.
