A while ago I made an app for tracking baby activities because I became a parent and was horrified at how many permissions the existing apps required and how much tracking they contained. Both the app and the server are open source.
This is a web-app which also has an Android version in the Play Store (F-Droid didn’t accept it because they don’t feel like web-apps should be welcome in their store). On iPhones it can be installed as a PWA to the home screen.
Features:
- No tracking whatsoever
- End-to-end encrypted, no personal information is stored on the server unencrypted
- Track baby’s feeding, diaper changes, breast pumping and sleeping (more to come)

Sounds super cool! I’m out of that phase for the moment, but when my kid was little.i used Baby Daybook. Other than the obvious FOSS benefit any other big differences in your app to make myself and other parents use yours?
FOSS is a big plus, don’t get me wrong, I’m just curious if you feel there are any special features in yours or gaps you havnt tackled yet.
The most beneficial feature I’m thinking you may be missing is letting two parent use the app for the same kid and have it stay in sync.
