Sound familiar?

Your brain is full enough already.

  • •You're half-asleep and can't remember which side you started on.
  • •You worry one side is doing all the work — and it hurts.
  • •You're juggling the baby, so opening an app and tapping through screens is one thing too many.
  • •The tracker you tried had forty features you never wanted and drained your battery.
Imagine just… knowing.

You glance. It says R. You tap once — in the app, or with Premium straight from the lock screen without even waking up properly — and you're done. No math. No second-guessing. No "did I already log that?" Just one less thing on your mind, every single feed.

Built to be the fastest

Logged before you're even awake

Speed is the whole point. In the app it's three seconds, free. And with Premium you never have to open your phone at all.

In the app Free

Two giant buttons, one-handed, readable in the dark. Under 3 seconds, forever free.

2

From your lock screen Premium

The next side is right there when you pick up your phone. Tap L or R without unlocking.

A home-screen widget, a quick-settings tile, and your Apple Watch or Wear OS watch — one tap, no app.

What you actually get

Peace of mind, not another chore

🎯

Feed evenly, effortlessly

Always know the next breast, so baby feeds balanced and you avoid the sore, lopsided days — without doing the math.

No account, no signal needed. In the nursery, on a plane, at 4am — it just works.

Keep it private on your phone, or turn on optional backup so a new phone never means starting over.

Honest comparison

"Can't I just use a hair tie?"

Yes — and plenty of people do. Here's where each system actually breaks, so you can pick with your eyes open.

A hair tie on your wrist

✓Free, always on you, nothing to set up.
✕You take it off to wash your hands.
✕No timestamp — it tells you a side, never when.
✕Move it and forget whether you moved it for this feed or the last one.

Your notes app or texting yourself

✓Timestamped, one-handed, phone's already there.
✕Unreadable within two days — a wall of L and R.
✕Nothing tells you which side is next; you still have to work it out.
✕Bright white screen at 3am wakes you properly up.

A full baby-tracker app

✓Tracks sleep, nappies, pumping, bottles — genuinely capable.
✕Timers you have to remember to stop — at the exact moment you're falling asleep.
✕An account, a sign-up and a menu before you've logged anything.
✕Forty features, when at 3am you have one question.
Why this exists

My wife asked me the same question every night at 3am.

"Which side was it?" And I never knew. Neither did she — that was the whole point. On no sleep, in the dark, holding a baby, nobody knows.

We tried a notebook. We tried moving a hair tie between wrists. We tried texting ourselves single letters. Every system worked for about four days and then quietly died, because all of them took too long or needed two hands.

So I built the smallest thing that answers the question. Two buttons. Tap one — that's the log. Open it next time and it tells you which side is next. The hard part wasn't building it. It was everything I said no to — pumping, bottles, nappies, sleep, charts, predictions. Every one of them would have made the 3am moment slower.

Before you download

Questions people actually ask

Is it really free, or is this a trial?

Genuinely free, with no expiry. Logging, your full history, reminders, night mode and all four languages work forever without paying anything. There's no card, no trial countdown, and nothing stops working. Premium is a separate, optional subscription that adds the widget, lock screen, Watch and cloud backup.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You open the app and start logging. An account only exists if you choose to turn on cloud backup — and that's it. Everything else works with no sign-up at all.

Does it work without internet?

Completely. Your data lives on your phone, not on a server, so the app works in a basement nursery, on a plane, or with your phone in airplane mode. There's no spinner and nothing to wait for.

Are there ads?

No, and there never will be — on any plan, including the free one. It's a subscription or nothing.

What happens to my data?

It stays on your device by default. We don't sell it, and we never send your feeding data anywhere — not which breast, not when. If you turn on optional cloud backup, your history is stored privately under your own account so you can restore it on a new phone.

What if I get a new phone?

With cloud backup on (part of Premium), you sign in on the new phone and restore your history. Without it, your history lives only on the old device — so if that matters to you, that's what backup is for.

Does it time how long each feed lasts?

No, and that's deliberate. A timer is something you have to remember to stop — at exactly the moment you're most likely to fall asleep, which gives you wrong data rather than missing data. Tapping L or R is the log. NextSide tracks which side and when, not how long.

Can I track twins or two babies?

Not right now — NextSide handles one baby, deliberately, so the main screen stays instant. If you have twins, an honest recommendation: a paper chart on the wall works better than any single-baby app. It's on the roadmap and you can vote for it below.

Is this medical advice?

No. NextSide answers a logistics question — which side is next — and nothing more. It can't tell you whether feeding is going well. For anything about supply, latch, weight gain or pain, talk to a lactation consultant (IBCLC) or your pediatrician.

How do I cancel Premium?

In your App Store or Google Play subscription settings, like any other subscription — we never hold onto it. Cancel and you keep using the free app exactly as before; you just lose the widget, lock screen, Watch and backup.

What languages does it speak?

English, Türkçe, Deutsch and Български — all fully translated, and you can pick the language inside the app regardless of your phone's setting.
