OBuddy Support

The parenting coach for the years after the baby app.

Need help, found a bug, or have an idea? Email hello@obubba.com and a human will get back to you.
If you need help right now, OBuddy is not the place. It is a coaching app, not an emergency, safeguarding, medical or mental-health service, and nobody monitors what you type into it. In the UK: call 999 in an emergency, 111 for urgent NHS advice, Samaritans on 116 123 free at any hour, or the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000 if you are worried about a child, including your own worry about yourself.

What is OBuddy?

The baby years have a hundred apps. What comes next has almost none. OBuddy coaches the parent through toddlerhood and school age: what is happening at this age, the words to say, where the boundary sits, and how to repair it afterwards. Every lesson ends in something your child does away from the screen.

Common questions

Is my data private? Everything you write stays on your phone. No ads, no analytics, no trackers. See the privacy policy.

I use OBubba. Do I have to set it all up again? No. OBubba offers to bring your child across once they are old enough, and their history comes with them.

I pay for OBubba. Do I pay twice? No. Connect your OBubba account in Account and OBuddy is included for as long as your OBubba subscription runs. Your subscription stays in OBubba, so there is nothing to buy here and nothing to cancel here.

I have more than one child. Add them in Account. Each child keeps their own lessons, streaks, routines and history, and you switch between them at the top of Today.

How do I move to a new phone? Account → Export copy on the old phone, then Account → Restore on the new one.

How do I delete everything? Account → Delete family data, or delete the app.

Where does the advice come from? It is written against named sources, including NHS and NICE guidance, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Lullaby Trust, the NSPCC and ERIC. It is general guidance and not a substitute for your GP, health visitor or a professional who knows your child.
