BobbychipsEvidence,
not instinct.
A schedule that adjusts to the day you actually had.
Log a bottle and the rest of the day re-projects around it. When a late feed leaves no room for a full nap, Bobbychips says so, offers the longest cat nap that still protects bedtime, and names the bottle that did it.
Where the schedule actually comes from
Most trackers either log and stop, or hand you a plan and decline to explain it. This is the whole mechanism, in three steps.
You set the parameters
Wake window, nap length, bottles a day, first feed, bedtime. Onboarding seeds them from age appropriate WHO and CDC guidance so you are not staring at a blank form. Every one is yours to change, and the bottom of the Today tab draws the whole day those numbers produce, before you have lived a single day against them.
Today re-anchors the plan
The rest of the day is projected against what you logged today, not against a generic age curve. A bottle that ran forty minutes late moves everything after it. End the nap early and the next wake window starts early. At the end of the day you can see, slot by slot, how far each one drifted.
It says when the day stops fitting
If a full nap no longer leaves room before bedtime, Bobbychips offers the longest cat nap that does fit, names the bottle that shifted the window, and says what that choice protected. It does not quietly show you one nap fewer.
One engine, every surface. The countdown in the app, the one on your lock screen, the number on the home screen widget, the sentence Siri reads out, and the reminder that arrives on your phone are all computed by the same code from the same inputs. They cannot disagree with each other, which is not true of most apps that do more than one of those.
And here is where the adjusting stops. Within the day, the plan moves with what you log. It does not silently rewrite your settings overnight, and it will not decide your baby has "outgrown" a wake window on its own. When the shape of the day changes for good, you change the number. The app tells you what it noticed and leaves the decision with you.
The bottle you never got to
Every tracker can put a red "overdue" badge on a feed you missed at one in the afternoon and leave it there until midnight. Here is what happens instead. Real numbers, one ordinary day, five bottles of six ounces.
That is the actual text of the actual banner, arithmetic and all. Twenty-eight of thirty. It does not round up and it does not tell you the day was fine.
Two limits on that, because they matter more than the feature does. Thirty ounces is your number, taken from the bottle sizes you set. It is not a recommendation about how much a baby should drink, and Bobbychips has no opinion on that. And the whole behavior is a switch: turn catch-up ounces off in Settings and every bottle stays exactly the size you planned, with the shortfall reported and nothing quietly resized. A bottle that grows without saying why is a bug, not a feature.
It is already on the screen you just picked up
A countdown is worth nothing if it lives behind an app icon you have to remember to tap with a baby on one arm. So it is on the lock screen, the home screen, your wrist and in Siri, and every one of them is computed by the same engine.
Live Activity on the lock screen New
A countdown to the next feed or nap, right there when you pick the phone up. It moves on to the next item by itself while the phone is face down on the counter, and it has its own switch, so you can turn the countdown off and keep the reminders.
Home screen widget
The same next item without opening anything, or the last bottle when there is nothing scheduled ahead.
Apple Watch app New
Installs with the iPhone app and takes your sign-in from the phone, so there is nothing to set up on it. Six things to tap: bottle, nap, poop, pee, bedtime, wake-up.
Siri, in both directions
"Hey Siri, log a bottle in Bobbychips," with no shortcut to build first. You can ask as well as tell: how long since the last bottle, what is next, how the day is going. A voice log moves the lock screen countdown without the app ever opening.
Any browser, nothing installed
The same app runs on the web, so a co-parent on an Android phone or a grandparent on a laptop can open the timeline without installing anything. Writes queue on the device with no signal and sync when you are back.
One heads-up, one follow-up, then nothing
You pick the lead time: 10, 15, 20, 30 or 45 minutes. There is no ladder of reminders every ten minutes, because a ladder is how a person learns to switch the whole category off, which costs them the alert that mattered.
On an iPad, the day sits beside the buttons New
Give it a wide screen and Today stops being one long column. What you touch, the next bottle and the log buttons, goes on the left. What you read, the schedule and the weekly recap, goes on the right, and the tab bar becomes a full height navigation rail. Open it on an iPad today at app.bobbychips.com, and the app follows.
Daycare is a black box, and the app says so out loud
Nine hours a day of somebody else's notes. Most trackers either pretend those hours did not happen or quietly score you on them. Neither is honest, and the difference between the two halves of that day is the whole point.
What it will tell you, and when it stays quiet
Nothing is shown to you until the data supports it
A pattern card needs a real sample before it appears. Below that you get the count and nothing else, because "your baby sleeps better after a 6 oz bottle" drawn from three days is not a finding, it is a coincidence with a chart around it.
Every claim carries the number of days behind it, so you can decide what to do with a difference the app is not going to overstate on your behalf. The sleep heatmap shows you the shape of the night without telling you what it means.
A week with fewer than three logged days gets no recap at all. Silence is the honest output, and it is the one most apps will not ship.
Real percentile math, not a curve you eyeball
Weight, length and head circumference plotted on WHO and CDC charts, with the exact percentile computed from the published LMS values rather than read off the nearest printed line.
Corrected for prematurity where it counts. Milestones are counted from the due date, always, with nothing to switch on: the CDC checklist and the age guides both read the adjusted age, and the card leads with "Adjusted age", which is the phrase a NICU follow-up clinic uses. On the growth charts it is a toggle, so you can plot against either age.
A percentile that moved down is printed in the same ink as one that moved up. It is a position on a chart, and it belongs in a conversation with your pediatrician.
Two things in here are not just your own typing read back to you
That is the honest problem with tracking apps. You do the work of logging and the app hands you a prettier version of what you already knew. Exactly two things in Bobbychips are not that.
- ✓A weekly recap, on the Today tab. New Monday to Sunday, averaged per day, against the week before it. It opens itself once a week and folds away for the other six days. Arithmetic, not an opinion: "Bottles 5.1, up 0.4. Average bedtime 7:42p, about 11 minutes earlier than last week."
- ✓Age guides, on the Growth tab. New CDC "Learn the Signs. Act Early." checkpoints and WHO feeding guidance at one week, six weeks, and two through twenty-four months. What is typical at this age and what to raise at the next visit, sitting above the checklist and staying readable for as long as it is the current band, rather than arriving by email on the one morning the age was reached.
- ✓Both are arithmetic and a published table. Not a model with an opinion, and not a paid tier, because neither one costs anything to produce. A week too thin to say anything about still gets no recap at all.

What Bobbychips will not do
A feature list tells you what an app is for. This tells you what it is against, which is usually the more useful half.
ranking
It will not tell you your baby is behind. No score against other babies, and no percentile framed as a problem. A percentile is a position on a chart, and it belongs in a conversation with your pediatrician, not in a push notification.
traffic lights
A percentile that moved down is printed in the same ink as one that moved up. Coloring it amber would be an assessment, and an assessment is not ours to make. A day's score in History lost its four-step color ramp for the same reason: an ordinary 82 percent was reading as a warning.
program
It has no opinion about sleep training and there is nothing to enroll in. You set the targets. The app does the arithmetic against them and stays out of the argument.
guessing
It does not read from Apple Health, a wearable or a smart bassinet. Every number in the app came from something a person logged, which is the only reason the numbers mean what they say.
tiers
Nothing described on this page is behind a subscription or an upgrade today, and none of it will be before 2027. The patterns, the sleep heatmap, the growth math, the weekly recap and the schedule itself are the app, not the paid half of it. The parts other trackers hold back for a premium plan are the parts this one leads with.
advice
It gives you general information based on your own logs and on published WHO and CDC material. It is not medical advice and it does not diagnose anything. For anything concerning, talk to your pediatrician.
It was written on paternity leave
One father, three months at home with a newborn, and no way to hold the schedule in his head past about day four. The apps he tried either put the part that did the thinking behind a subscription, or answered a question about numbers with reassurance.
So he wrote the arithmetic. It was used every single day of that leave on a real baby: the 3am bottle, the nap that fell apart, the week the wake windows changed and nothing lined up any more. Every part of it that failed got rewritten, because the person living with the failure was the person who had to fix it.
That is the whole origin story. No sleep consultants on retainer, no advisory board, no venture funding, and no growth team deciding which feature to put behind a paywall this quarter. If something in here seems oddly specific, it is because it went wrong once at two in the morning.
It is new, and it is moving quickly. The first line of it was written in June 2026 and version 1.2 went to the App Store on 29 August, with most of what is described on this page built in between. That pace is not a growth strategy. It is what happens when the person shipping the app is the one using it at 3am and finding out which parts do not work.
