Everything you need to get the most out of Nestling. From tracking basics to AI insights.
Nestling is a sleep tracking app that supports parents rather than stressing them out. Most baby tracking apps create anxiety with rigid schedules—Nestling takes a different approach. Built by a parent and paediatrician specifically for the challenges of early parenthood: one-handed logging for 3 AM feeds, Dark Mode optimised for low-light use, instant partner sync, and non-intrusive tracking with Live Activities and Siri support. Privacy-focused, iOS-native, and free to start. Upgrade to enable beautiful themes and a powerful personalised AI coach with access to your logs.
Getting started is simple:
The app guides you through setup and explains each feature as you go.
No! You can use Nestling entirely on your device without creating an account. However, creating an account enables cloud sync, which means you can access your data across multiple devices and share tracking with other caregivers.
There are two ways to track sleep:
Yes! Tap any sleep session to edit the start time, end time, or delete it entirely. This is useful if you forgot to stop the timer or need to correct a mistake.
Live Activities show your baby's active sleep timer on your iPhone lock screen and Apple Watch. You can glance at the duration without unlocking your phone or opening the app—perfect for dark rooms and middle-of-the-night checks.
Nestling automatically categorises sleep as "day" or "night" based on customisable time boundaries. By default, night is 7 PM to 7 AM, but you can adjust this in Settings to match your baby's routine. This helps you see patterns in daytime naps versus overnight sleep.
The AI Sleep Coach is your 24/7 expert companion. It analyses your baby's actual sleep logs, feeds, nappy changes, and diary notes to provide personalised, evidence-based guidance—not generic advice. Ask questions anytime and get tailored recommendations based on your baby's unique patterns and age.
The AI Coach is available with Nestling Premium. The free version includes all core tracking features, visualisations, and the sleep diary. Premium adds unlimited AI coaching, personalised insights, premium themes, and priority support—all for less than the cost of a coffee per month.
You can ask anything related to your baby's sleep and routine:
The coach reviews your recent data and provides context-aware, age-appropriate advice.
The AI Coach provides evidence-based behavioural guidance for sleep and routine—it is not a replacement for medical advice. If you notice symptoms like fever, difficulty breathing, poor feeding, or dehydration, always consult your GP or health visitor. The coach will remind you to seek professional help when appropriate.
Absolutely. Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We never sell or share your data with third parties. You can use the app entirely offline if you prefer, or enable optional cloud sync for backup and multi-device access.
Yes! You can export all your data as a CSV file anytime from the Settings menu. Your data is yours—no lock-in, no restrictions.
Yes! With cloud sync enabled, you can invite other caregivers to access and update the same baby profile. Everyone sees real-time updates, so no more "Did you log that nap?" confusion.
Yes! The free version supports multiple babies. Switch between profiles easily from the Settings menu.
Nestling helps you track the full picture:
All of this context helps the AI Coach provide better, more personalised advice.
Nestling visualises your data beautifully:
Charts reveal insights without overwhelming you with numbers.
The sleep diary is your place to record notes, observations, and context. Did your baby sleep better after a bath? Was there a growth spurt? The diary helps you remember what worked (and what didn't), giving your future self valuable context—and helping the AI Coach understand your baby better.
Yes! Nestling includes beautiful, calming themes designed for dark rooms and late nights. The free version includes two themes (Light and Dark), and Premium unlocks four additional curated palettes (Autumn, Ocean, Lavender, and Midnight).
The free version is genuinely useful and includes:
Premium adds:
Premium is £3.75/month billed annually (£44.99/year), or £4.99/month billed monthly.
Premium includes a free trial so you can experience the AI Coach and premium features risk-free. Cancel anytime during the trial with no charge.
You can cancel anytime through your Apple ID settings. Your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period. After cancellation, you'll still have access to all free features.
Sleep timers must be stopped manually—they don't stop automatically. If you forgot to stop a timer, simply edit the sleep session and adjust the end time to when your baby actually woke.
Make sure you're signed in with the same account on all devices and that cloud sync is enabled in Settings. If data still isn't syncing, try signing out and back in, or contact support.
