Why people look for a Glow Baby alternative
These are the things people are searching for when they type it — the intent behind the query, and what Our Baby Day does about each:
- Wanting a tracker that is only a tracker, without a feed to scroll. There is no feed, no community and no content library — the app opens on your baby's day and nothing else.
- Wanting their data to stay theirs rather than fund something else. No ads, and analytics only if you opt in. The full list of who touches your data is on the privacy page, and the app's own claims are pinned to a security audit.
- Wanting fewer notifications competing for attention at 3am. The only notifications are the ones you set up yourself, and Reminders can be turned off entirely.
Bringing your history across
Export from Glow Baby, then import the file. Our Baby Day has a built-in profile for it, so the columns are understood rather than guessed at, and every import arrives as a batch with a receipt — “remove this import” takes the whole thing back out if it read something wrong. The full walkthrough is in switching trackers without losing your history.
What it costs
Our Baby Day is a subscription, with no free tier under it and no second tier above it. $89.99 a year — $7.50 a month, against $179.88 for twelve months bought one at a time — and eligible new subscribers start with 7 days free. Month to month is $14.99, with no trial on it.
Nothing inside is held back: every kind of entry, every day of her history, every chart, the forecast, Ask, family sharing, imports and exports. Ask carries a fair-use ceiling of 300 questions a month per family, which ordinary use does not reach. One subscription covers the family, so a partner or a carer who joins by code never meets a paywall. And if it ends, her history stays readable and exportable — you are not locked out of what you wrote.
Built for the iPhone you have
Our Baby Day is made for iOS 26 and nothing else, which is why its widgets, Lock Screen timers, Control Center buttons and Siri shortcuts are the system's own rather than a wrapper around them. It is on the App Store, and it is small enough to answer its own mail: the address on the support page reaches the person who wrote it.
When staying with Glow Baby makes sense
Glow Baby is the baby tracker in the Glow family of apps, where the logging shares the screen with articles and a community feed. What it has that we do not: a community feed and an article library alongside the tracking; continuity if you already used Glow or Eve through pregnancy. So stay if the community feed is the reason you open it. Ours opens on your baby's day, not a feed, and that is on purpose.
How this comparison is kept honest
The description of Glow Baby above was last checked on 2026-09-13, and it deliberately avoids quoting Glow Baby's prices or tier limits, because those change under us and a stale number is worse than no number. Our own price is quoted, because it is the one we can keep current.
