Every baby arrives with an improvised tracking system. Ours was a WhatsApp group called "Baby 👶" with mom, dad, grandparents and the nanny — and hundreds of messages like "fed at 2pm, left side" buried between stickers.
It worked, sort of. Until the inevitable 3 a.m. question: "which side was the last feed?" — and nobody could find the message.
The bar: faster than WhatsApp
When we decided to build neneco, we set a single bar for everything: logging has to be faster than typing into the group chat. If a screen, a tap or a setting doesn't pass that test, it stays out.
In practice that means:
- Two taps at most to log a feed, a diaper or a nap.
- No complicated onboarding: one invite code puts the whole family on the same timeline.
- No feed, no gamification, no useless notifications. The app is built to be closed quickly.
Bilingual from birth
Our family speaks Portuguese and English at the same table. So does neneco: each person uses the app in their own language and sees exactly the same records. Grandma in São Paulo and grandpa in London read the same nap.
What's next?
neneco already logs seven activity types, shows patterns in simple charts and estimates the next feed and the next nap from your own history. We're opening beta access to a small group of families — if you'd like in, the door is on the home page.
