What Nara has changed

Nara’s own FAQ says Nara Baby is now a paid app. New families get a 7-day free trial with full access, then it costs $9.99 a month or $99.99 one time for lifetime access, and Nara notes it sometimes runs promotions. The FAQ also says that without a subscription you can still view and export your data, but you cannot add new entries. Read Nara’s FAQ.

If Nara still suits your family, you do not need to change anything. If you would rather keep logging for free, read on.

First, export your Nara data

Whatever you decide, it is worth keeping your own copy of your baby’s records. Nara’s FAQ says you can export without a subscription.

  1. Open Nara and go to the main Activity screen.
  2. Tap the avatar icon next to your child’s name.
  3. Tap Export Data. Nara saves your records as a CSV file.
  4. If you have more than one child, repeat this for each one, then keep the files somewhere safe, such as your Files app, a cloud drive or an email to yourself.

Start logging in OBubba

  1. Install OBubba. It is free to download on iPhone and Android.
  2. Create your baby’s profile and log feeds, sleep and nappies as you did before.
  3. Invite your partner on the free plan so you both log into the same live record.
  4. OBubba starts with age-based wake windows and bedtimes on day one and moves towards your baby’s own rhythm as you log.

What OBubba is built to do

Checks what may have disrupted sleepOBubba checks over 30 common sleep disruptions from what you log (late bedtime, short last window, too much day sleep, night feeds, teething, illness, new skills and more) and suggests a practical next step for many of them.
Learns your baby’s own rhythmWake window and bedtime predictions start from age guidance and move towards what actually works for your baby as you log.
One app from bump to toddlerCycle and pregnancy tracking are free, and the same app becomes your baby tracker on the day your baby arrives.
Free partner sync and carer handoversBoth parents log into the same live record on the free plan, and Bubba Care gives grandparents or a nanny a simple handover.
