Switching to Tymbr from another tracker (or a paper log)
Maybe you've been jotting feeds on a notepad, tapping notes into your phone, or using another app that doesn't quite fit. Switching baby trackers can feel like a chore, but getting started with Tymbr takes just a few minutes — and you don't have to bring years of history with you to feel organized from day one.
This guide covers what to set up first, what's worth carrying over, and how to get your family logging in Tymbr right away.
Get set up in a few minutes
Create a free account on the web, iPhone, or Android, add your baby, and log your first activity — a feed, a nap, or a diaper. That's all it takes to start building a clear, searchable record of your baby's day. There's no credit card and nothing to configure before you can begin.
Decide what to carry over
You don't need to recreate months of history to get value from Tymbr. Most families just start logging from today and let the record build naturally. If a few past data points matter to you — a recent weight, a milestone date, the last feed time — you can add those by hand as you go, so the numbers you care about are there without re-entering everything.
Bring your caregivers with you
Tymbr is built for the whole family, so a big reason to switch is shared, real-time tracking. Once you're set up, invite your partner and any other caregivers with a link so everyone logs into the same record. From there you can track sleep, feeding, diapers, solids, growth, milestones, and more — all in one place that stays in sync.
