Is there a baby tracker I can use with both hands full?
Yes. Tap the microphone, say "right breast, 12 minutes" or "wet diaper and a bottle, 90 ml", and Lunita parses it into care entries you confirm with one tap. Speech is recognised on your device, the sheet dismisses instantly, and it all works offline. Voice commands currently work best in English.
The problem with tap-only trackers
Newborn care happens with your hands occupied — feeding, settling, carrying. That's exactly when you need to log something, and exactly when tapping through a form is impossible. Most trackers assume two free hands and a steady gaze at the screen. At 3am you have neither.
Hands-free logging flips it around: you talk, the app does the structuring. The moment passes in seconds and you never put the baby down.
How voice logging works in Lunita
Open the care sheet, tap the mic in the corner, and speak naturally. Lunita uses Apple's on-device Speech framework — your voice never leaves the phone — and a parser turns the words into typed care drafts:
- Feeds — "left breast eight minutes", "bottle 120 ml", "had some banana".
- Sleep — "napped from 2 to 3:30".
- Diapers — "wet diaper", "dirty", "both".
One narrative can create several events at once. High-confidence results show a confirm card you save with a single tap; anything ambiguous pre-fills the form instead of writing silently, so the app never guesses wrong on your behalf. You always get the last word.
The hands-free design goes beyond voice
Even when you do tap, the sheet is built for one hand: large targets, thumb-reach layout, and an instant dismiss that doesn't wait for the network. So whether you speak or tap, logging a feed, nap or diaper is a single reach. The feed-specific details are under baby feeding tracker and the nap paths under baby sleep tracker.
The same on-device speech writes your diary
Voice isn't only for care logs. The same on-device recognition lets you speak a memory and have it shaped into warm diary prose — see voice baby diary app. The diary voice works in your device's language; the structured care-log parsing above is currently tuned for English commands, with the tap flow as the reliable path in every language.
Private by default
Because the speech is processed on-device, there's no cloud recording of your nursery. Care data needs explicit consent before the first log and stays family-only — never in the shared diary — with no HealthKit and no ad tracking. More on that in baby tracker without an account.
