Sprout Track

Sprout Track is a web application for recording and monitoring infant activities such as feedings, diapers, naps, pumping, milestones and development. It provides a mobile-first interface with an admin family manager and options to run via Docker or a local Node.js setup.

Key Features

• Log multiple activity types (feedings, diapers, naps, pumping, medications, milestones) with quick-entry UI optimized for mobile
• Calendar and searchable activity log for reviewing and filtering events
• Multi-caretaker support with short login IDs and PIN-based authentication, plus a family-manager admin UI
• Built with Next.js (App Router) and TypeScript, styled with Tailwind CSS; data layer via Prisma and SQLite
• Docker images and scripts for quick deployment, plus setup, backup and update utilities
• Setup wizard, database seeding, Prisma migrations and Prisma Studio for DB inspection
• Configurable warning/notification times and export/import of the database for backups or migration

Use Cases

• Keep a continuous, timestamped log of newborn feedings, sleep, diaper changes and medications for parental coordination
• Share access across caretakers with unique PINs to coordinate shifts and ensure consistent routines
• Maintain development and milestone records to support pediatric appointments and growth tracking

Limitations and Considerations

• Default local database is SQLite, which is convenient for single-instance deployments but may not be ideal for high-concurrency or multi-node setups
• Some upgrade paths reset the family-manager admin password to a default value; follow backup and restore steps during upgrades to preserve custom credentials
• Requires current Node.js (Node 22+) and regular dependency updates; applications using Next.js React Server Components must be patched promptly to address security fixes

Sprout Track is suited for families and caregivers who want a privacy-focused, self-hosted baby tracker with an emphasis on mobile usability and simple deployment. It combines an approachable UI with developer-friendly tooling for maintenance and backups.
