Every feature, explained
One calm place for the whole NCS workflow.
Shift logs, AI-written morning reports, AI messages, client and baby management, and a branded booking page — designed around the way you actually work, tested with senior NCS professionals.
01
Shift Log — one-handed, offline, timestamped forever.
Log feeds, diapers, sleep, and notes with a single tap. Everything saves locally first, then syncs when you're back online.
- Six entry types: Feed, Diaper, Sleep, Wake, Med, Note
- Automatic timestamps — you never type a time
- Shift timer with one-tap end-of-shift summary
- Multi-baby mode for twins and triplets
- Works offline in basement nurseries — syncs over Serwist background sync
- Full history searchable forever, exportable whenever
“The fact that it works offline matters. My last shift was in a basement nursery with no signal.”

- Branded with your logo, name, and signature
- Guardrail clause prevents invented medical numerics

Morning report · Tuesday
Good morning!
A calm overnight with Ellie. Two easy feeds around 2 and 5, both about 3 oz. She slept a long stretch from 2:14 to 5:30. One wet diaper around 1:50. She woke up smiling at 6:45.

- Personalization tokens auto-fill from the client profile
- Tuned to your brand voice over time
- Same guardrail clause as morning reports

- Sensitive medical fields app-layer encrypted via Supabase Vault
- Every sensitive-field view logged for COPPA traceability
- Digital onboarding form — no account needed for the family
