Huckleberry: Baby Tracker

Huckleberry Review: Free Logging Done Right, Nap Timing Behind a Paywall

What stays free, and why SweetSpot costs $68.88 a year

Huckleberry Labs, an Irvine, California company founded by Jessica Toh and Seng Oon Toh, keeps every tracker free: sleep, nursing with left and right timers, bottles, solids, diapers, pumping, growth, potty, medicine and milestones, plus reminders, basic reports and multiple child profiles. The paid tiers start with Plus at $11.99 a month or $68.88 a year, which adds SweetSpot, Schedule Creator, Insights tips and Enhanced Reports. Premium costs $14.99 a month or $119.88 a year and adds the Berry chat and custom sleep plans. Every new account gets 14 days of Premium without entering a card, and the trial does not turn into a subscription on its own. Check the current price in the app; it varies by region.

SweetSpot: a nap forecast that waits until two months

SweetSpot estimates when a child is likely to be ready for the next nap or bedtime from logged sleep and age. It switches on at two months by calendar date, using adjusted age, so a full-term baby born on July 1 gets it on September 1, not after eight weeks. Offline, it falls back to default predictions until the app reconnects. On iPhone the next window can sit on the lock screen as a Live Activity. Android gets no widgets, Apple Watch app, Live Activities or Siri logging, which the help center lists as iOS-only extras of Plus. A July 2026 Play review says the timing drifted after a move to three naps. We do not give medical or sleep-training advice; questions about a child's sleep belong with a pediatrician.

Berry, Apple's privacy label and who owns the sleep log

Berry, launched on February 5, 2026 for Premium members on iOS and Android, reads a child's logs, profile and sleep plan before answering. The help center says it is not a doctor, can be wrong, and that conversations are not used to train public models. Its chat view keeps the last 12 hours, while saved memory is shared by everyone signed into the same account and is erased only through a support ticket. Apple's privacy label lists health data, photos and identifiers linked to you, and usage data used for tracking across other companies' apps. The Terms of Use state that Product Data, including a child's sleep records, is owned by Huckleberry and its licensors, and anonymized data may appear in published research. Check the terms with the official provider before you sign up.

Huckleberry vs Napper and Nara Baby, and the September lockout

Napper, from Napper AB, also sells nap predictions: its Napper Sleep plan lists at $89.99 a year in the US App Store, against $68.88 for Plus here, and its listing says one subscription can be shared with any number of caregivers. Nara Baby by Nara Organics lets you invite partners and grandparents into an account and offers lifetime purchases, while Huckleberry shares data only by signing every phone into the same login. Reliability is the weak point: between September 3 and 10, 2026, over ten one- and two-star Play reviews described an 'Update required' screen that stayed even on the newest build, and the developer's replies suggested reinstalling. Other 2026 reviews report entries that never saved and repeated pop-ups selling Premium.
