What HuddleCare is
HuddleCare is a family care coordination app. You create a huddle (a private care team for one person or pet), and everyone who helps logs care in the same place. For a baby that means feeds, naps and diapers; for an aging parent, medications, vitals and a daily check-in; for a dog or cat, walks, feeding and vet records. Tasks, appointments, notes, messages, documents and shared costs live alongside, and everything syncs in real time to the web app, iPhone and Android. HuddleCare records what your team enters. It never gives medical advice.
Simple by design
Pick a care type (elder, child, or pet) and name the one you care for. The app adapts its words, fields and log to fit: a newborn, a toddler, a parent, a puppy.
Family, caregivers, the sitter, the aide and even the person you care for. Each one joins with a role and exactly the access you choose.
Two taps to log a dose, a feed, a nap, a walk, a check-in. Everyone sees what's done, what's due and what needs attention, in real time, across all your huddles.
Every stage, every walk of life
Families don't care for just one person. HuddleCare runs a separate huddle for each one you love, and every huddle speaks the language of that stage.
Three care types
A huddle is a private care team for one person or pet. Pick Elder, Child, or Pet and HuddleCare adapts its language, fields, Emergency Card and Care Log to fit. No setup, no categories to invent.
What your team can do
Care Log
The Care Log opens on a grid chosen for the one you care for: a baby's feeds, sleep, diapers and pumping; a dog's feeding, walks and potty; an elder's check-in, measurements, symptoms and mood. Tap a kind, pick a preset, done. Amounts, times and notes are there if you want them, never required. Switch kinds on and off any time with "Customize the log".
Live timers & last-done tiles
Start a nap, a walk or a feed on one phone and the timer runs on every member's phone (the grandparent's, the nanny's, yours at work) and survives closing the app. Under it, three tiles state the facts: Last feed 1 h ago · Napping now · Last diaper 45 min ago. Facts, never judgments: HuddleCare won't tell you a nap is "due".
Medications
Scheduled dose times, one-tap Given, and Not given with a reason: asleep, refused, nausea, out of stock, at school. Late is automatic. Refills by date or by remaining supply, which counts down with every logged dose. Name a backup member who's notified if a dose still isn't logged an hour later. Type the name and it autocompletes from an on-device drug list (brand, generic, Spanish, veterinary), so what you type never leaves the phone. Unlimited medications on every plan.
Vitals & measurements
Blood pressure, weight, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, temperature and pain on a 0 to 10 scale for an elder; weight, height and head circumference for a baby; weight for a pet. Each one charts the raw values over time, units never mixed, so the doctor sees exactly what was recorded. No thresholds, no alarms, no advice. That's the clinician's job.
Daily check-in
Choose a time. Until someone taps the tile (a visiting sibling, the aide, or Mom herself from her own account), it waits on Home. If nothing has been logged fifteen minutes past the time, the whole huddle gets a notification. Anything she logs herself counts: "Rosa logged something at 8:40. All good." Open the huddle after a day away and a "While you were away" card sums up the doses, logs, tasks and notes since your last visit.
Schedule & tasks
Assign a task, or ask the huddle ("Anyone"), and whoever taps "I'll do it" owns it. Repeat anything: daily, weekdays, the last Friday of the month, every third week. Medical appointments carry the provider from your contacts, who's driving, a running list of questions to ask, and visit notes afterwards. Everything is shown in the time zone of the one you care for, so 8 PM means 8 PM at Mom's.
Sitters, walkers & visiting family
Invite anyone with exactly the access they need (View, Edit or Delete, feature by feature) and an expiry that revokes it automatically, enforced in the database. Hide specific medications from temporary members. Or skip the account entirely: share The Week Link, a read-only view of the next seven days that expires on its own, or a pet's Care Card (feeding, meds, house rules, behaviour flags, the vet) on one page.
Emergency Info Card, documents & contacts
Emergency contacts you can tap to call, allergies flagged as severe, conditions, blood type, where the directive is; the school and the pickup list; the microchip and the vet. Share it by link. No account needed to view. Insurance cards, referrals and forms live in the documents vault with in-app preview; doctors, teachers and neighbors in contacts, with directions one tap away.
Care journal & visit notes
Daily updates with a mood and photos, written by whoever was there, so the sibling three time zones away knows how Mom is actually doing. After a visit or a shift, a visit note with the checklist for that kind of care: meds given, ate a meal, drank fluids, up and moving, something to watch. For a sitter: fed, water, potty, walked, in good spirits.

Why not just…
Most families run care on a group chat, a shared calendar, and a different single-purpose app for each person. Here's what each one leaves out.
| What you need | Group text | Shared calendar | Baby / pill / pet apps | HuddleCare |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who gave what and when, with a record | Scroll and hope | No | One person's phone | Every member, every device, logged |
| A timer the whole team can see | No | No | Rarely shared | Naps, walks, feeds, live for everyone |
| Baby, parent and dog in one place | Three chats | Three calendars | Three apps | One Today across every huddle |
| Give the sitter only what they need | All or nothing | All or nothing | Share your login | Per-feature access with an expiry, or a link |
| Vitals, growth and weight over time | No | No | Some | Charted, raw values, any huddle type |
| Missed-dose escalation | No | No | Reminds the same phone | Notifies the backup member you named |
| Co-parenting schedule with swaps | No | Manual | Separate custody app | Built into the Child huddle |
| Split the costs fairly | Venmo requests | No | No | Expenses, split, "who owes whom" |
| A record of who viewed the health data | No | No | No | Care activity log, kept seven years |
Trust & privacy
Health-adjacent information needs more than a checkbox. Here's what actually protects your data, and what we promise never to do with it.
Everything you put in HuddleCare is encrypted on the wire (TLS) and on disk, on Google Cloud infrastructure, using the same encryption standards banks rely on. Multi-factor authentication with recovery codes is one tap away.
Every read and write is checked against huddle membership and per-feature permissions at the database layer, not just hidden in the interface. A sitter's expiry, a hidden medication, and what the care recipient can see are rules, not suggestions.
Organizers see a care activity log of who viewed or exported the medication list, a dose record, a journal entry, the Emergency Card, a document or a share link (from the web, a phone, or a link). Kept seven years. Never editable, never deletable.
Your care notes, logs, messages, documents, and the profile of the one you care for are yours. We don't sell that data and we don't use it to target advertising. Share links keep medication names off by default. Usage analytics are first-party only and you can turn them off. Export it or delete it, all of it, any time.

Frequently asked
HuddleCare is a family care coordination app. You create a huddle (a private care team for one person or pet), and everyone who helps logs care in the same place: feeds, naps and diapers for a baby; medications, vitals and a daily check-in for an aging parent; walks, feeding and vet records for a dog or cat. Tasks, appointments, notes, messages, documents and shared costs live alongside, and everything syncs in real time to the web app, iPhone and Android.
Yes. The Free plan includes one huddle, up to 5 members, unlimited tasks, medications, schedule events and care-log entries, 3 months of history, 5 documents and PDF exports, with no credit card required and no time limit. The Free tier will be ad-supported when ads launch; Plus and Premium are ad-free. You only pay if you need more huddles, more members, longer history, more storage, or the paid extras like direct messages, photos and expense splitting.
Yes. A Child huddle for a baby logs bottle, breast (left/right with a timer) and solid feeds, naps and night sleep with a live timer, diapers (wet, dirty, mixed, dry), pumping, activities like tummy time and bath, milestones, symptoms and measurements such as weight, height and head circumference. Last-done tiles show when he last ate, slept and was changed, and the timer runs on every caregiver's phone at once. A parent, a grandparent and a nanny all see the same nap.
Yes. In a Child huddle you can turn on a parenting schedule (alternating weeks, week on / week off, or 2-2-3), and a band on Home and the Schedule shows who has the child each day. Either parent can ask for a swap on a given day; the other accepts or declines, and the history is kept. Pickups and drop-offs are logged with who did them, checked against the authorized pickup list.
Turn on the daily check-in: a "Mom is OK" button that anyone in the huddle (or Mom herself, with her own account) taps by a time you choose. If nobody has logged anything by 15 minutes past that time, the whole huddle gets a notification. Alongside it you can log blood pressure, weight, glucose, oxygen, temperature and pain and see them charted over time, keep the medication list and dose history, record symptoms and mood, and leave visit notes after each visit.
Yes. Invite them as The One We Care For. They get their own account and see their schedule, medications, messages and care team; they can log their own doses and their own daily check-in if you turn those on. They never see the journal or documents and have no admin controls. This is enforced in the database, not just hidden in the app. Every account holder must be 18 or older.
It's purpose-built for the caregiving workflow. Tasks, medications with dose tracking, a per-type care log with timers, schedules, journal and visit notes, a shared documents vault, an Emergency Info Card, sitter links and role-based access, all together. A group text can't tell you whether Mom got her 9 AM dose or how long the baby napped; HuddleCare can, and it keeps the record.
Invite them as a temporary member with exactly the access they need: View, Edit or Delete per feature (tasks, medications, care log, journal, messages, documents, contacts and more). Then choose an expiry: four hours, a day, a week or a date. When time's up, access revokes automatically, enforced in the database. You can also mark specific medications as hidden from temporary members. If they don't need an account at all, share The Week Link or the Emergency Info Card by link instead.
A read-only link to the next seven days (medications, appointments and tasks) that a sitter, a school or a visiting relative can open without an app or an account. Medication names are off by default (the link just says "Medication" at each time) unless you switch them on. The link is a snapshot of the week as shared, shows times in the care recipient's time zone, can be turned off any time, and expires on its own after the week.
Yes. Measurements are one of the care-log kinds. Elder huddles log blood pressure, weight, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, temperature and pain on a 0 to 10 scale; Child huddles log weight, height, head circumference and temperature; Pet huddles log weight and temperature. Each measurement gets a chart of raw values over time. HuddleCare records what you enter and never adds thresholds, alarms or medical advice.
A Pet huddle logs feeding against the feeding schedule (with a missed-feeding alert), walks with a live timer, potty (including accidents), litter box for cats, grooming, weight and symptoms. Health records track vaccines, flea and tick, heartworm, deworming and dental with reminders 30, 7 and 1 days before they're due. The Care Card puts everything a sitter, walker or kennel needs on one page (feeding, medications, house rules, behaviour flags, vet and emergency contacts) as an in-app page or a PDF. Puppy mode reminds you after a set number of hours without a potty log, only between 7 AM and 10 PM.
Each medication has scheduled times; everyone who can see it gets a "due" notification, and a dose is logged as given, or not given with an optional reason (asleep, refused, nausea, out of stock, at school, held per doctor). If a dose still isn't logged an hour after its time, HuddleCare can notify a backup member you name. Refills can be tracked by date or by remaining supply, which counts down automatically with every logged dose. A weekly banner shows if doses were missed three or more times, reporting only what was logged.
On Plus and Premium, Elder and Pet huddles have an Expenses page: log what was paid and by whom, split it equally or with custom shares, and see "Ana owes Luis $42.50" for the month. Mark it settled with a note of how ("Venmo", "cash"). No money moves through HuddleCare. An optional "Who's doing what" view counts tasks, doses, logs, visits and dollars per member. Counts only, no ranking.
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Every read and write is checked against huddle membership and per-feature permissions in the database, not just in the app. Optional multi-factor authentication with recovery codes protects your account. Organizers can see a care activity log (kept seven years and never editable) of who viewed or exported the medication list, a dose record, a journal entry, the Emergency Card or a document. We do not sell your care content and do not use it to target advertising. You can export or delete all your data at any time.
Yes. HuddleCare is built web-first and runs in any modern browser on your computer, tablet, or phone, with every feature included and a desktop layout with a sidebar and a Today rail. No install needed. The Android app is on Google Play, the iOS app is on the App Store, and everything stays synced in real time across devices. It also works offline: what you log syncs when you're back online.
Yes. Each huddle is organized around one person or pet. On Plus you can run up to 5 huddles at once; on Premium, up to 10. The Today view unifies everything across all your huddles into one daily list, including a running nap or walk timer and what was logged today in each.
Plus is built for one engaged family: up to 5 huddles, 10 members per huddle, 2 GB of storage per huddle, 1 year of history, direct messages, photos and expense splitting. Premium is built for complex care: up to 10 huddles, 25 members per huddle, 5 GB per huddle, unlimited history, and unlimited temporary members.
Your account drops back to Free at the end of the billing period. Nothing is deleted. Content beyond the Free plan's limits becomes read-only until you upgrade again or trim it yourself. You can also export all your data first.
