Six small things a day. That’s the whole app.

Coffee & Cradle gives new parents six short baby-care tips a day — chosen for your baby’s exact age in weeks, written by people, checked by pediatricians. Nothing to log. No account.

Free for a week. iPhone and Android.

The Coffee&Cradle Tips tab: a tip called “A Little Floor Time Daily”, with a “coming up” heads-up above it and its source underneath.

Six tips, timed to your day.

Two are waiting whenever you open the app. Four more arrive through the day — 9am, 1pm, 5pm and 8pm your local time, each with an optional notification. Every tip is one thing to know, in two or three sentences.

The same Coffee&Cradle tip at night, in dark mode, with Save and Remind Me underneath it.

Every tip explains itself.

Tap “why am I seeing this” and you get the real reasons: your baby’s age in weeks, something you saved or searched, a developmental window that just opened. A “coming up” heads-up arrives ahead of the curve — the four-month sleep regression a few days before it starts, not a week after. And every tip carries its source, which you can open and read.

The “Why you’re seeing this” panel, listing the reasons a tip was chosen: a topic you picked, and a developmental window that is around now.

Pick the voice they arrive in.

The same advice, in the voice you want to hear it in. Calm is the default. There is also emoji, a sentient robot, a savage granny, Gandalf, and random. The wording changes. The medical content never does.

The notification tone picker in Coffee&Cradle: Calm, Emojis, Sentient robot, Savage granny, Gandalf and Random.

Made by people. Checked by pediatricians.

Every tip is written and reviewed by people and checked against pediatric guidance, with a source on every tip — a trusted health domain you can open and read for yourself.

Where something belongs with your doctor, the tip says so.

Designed for your privacy.

There is no account, and there isn’t one to make. We never ask for your name, your email, or your baby’s date of birth — just an age in weeks and an anonymous identifier.

Location is optional, coarsened before it is stored, and used only to factor local weather into which tips surface. We can’t leak what we never collect.

Explore and Search stay free.

Browse the library by topic at your own pace, and search it one-handed at 3am — it’s deliberately typo-tolerant.

Explore, Search and Saved are free forever, and without an account. If you never subscribe, the whole library is still yours to browse and search.

Free for a week. Then pick one.

Explore, Search and Saved are free. Forever, and without an account. The paid part is the daily six — the tips chosen for your baby’s week and delivered through the day.

Cancel any time in the App Store or Google Play. The free week is a real free week: nothing is charged until it ends.

Questions

What does Coffee & Cradle actually do?

It gives you six short baby-care tips a day. Two are waiting whenever you open the app; four more arrive through the day, at 9am, 1pm, 5pm and 8pm your local time. Each one is a single thing to know, in two or three sentences, chosen for your baby’s exact age in weeks. There is nothing to log and no feed to scroll.

Do I need an account?

No, and there isn’t one to make. You open the app, tell it how many weeks old your baby is, and that’s the setup. No sign-in, no password, no email, no social login.

What do you collect about me and my baby?

An anonymous identifier, your baby’s age in weeks, the preferences you set, and — only if you allow it — a coarse location used to factor local weather into which tips surface. We never ask for your name, your email address, or your baby’s name or date of birth. Full detail is in the privacy policy.

Who writes the tips, and are they checked?

People write them and people review them, and they are checked against pediatric guidance. Made by people, checked by pediatricians. Every tip carries a citation to a trusted health source, and you can open it inside the app and read it yourself.

Is this medical advice?

No. Coffee & Cradle provides general informational and educational content for parents and caregivers. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for the guidance of your pediatrician or another qualified health professional. Always consult a healthcare provider with questions about your baby’s health, and call your local emergency number in an emergency.

What does it cost, and what’s free?

Everything is free for a week. After that the daily six are $5.99 a month, $49.99 a year, or $89.99 once for lifetime access. Explore, Search and Saved stay free forever — if you never subscribe, the whole library is still yours to browse and search.

What ages is it for?

Birth to twenty-four months. The app works in weeks rather than months because a six-week-old and a ten-week-old need different things, and it advances on its own — you never have to go back in and update an age.

Can I cancel, and what happens if I do?

Cancel any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings; you keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for. Nothing is charged during the free week, and cancelling before it ends costs nothing. Explore, Search and Saved keep working afterwards, because they were never the paid part.
