How Dreamshift works

The same guide is in the app: Settings → How Dreamshift works.

Logging

Tap Feed, Diaper, Down or Awake as it happens. After a feed or diaper, tap Add details for the side, amount, or wet and dirty. Touch and hold a button to log it earlier; fix any time in History.

Down isn't asleep

Down records when baby was put down. Dreamshift shows Settling, then Likely asleep after 15 minutes with no Awake logged. Tap Fell asleep to confirm it sooner.

The ring

Counts how long baby's been awake, next to the range that's typical for this age (from the due date, or corrected age if born early). The feed interval you set in Settings always wins over the age default.

Quick check (3am)

Last feed, last diaper and awake time at a glance, each with a one-tap log. "Something seems wrong" is there when you need a real person: it calls emergency services or your pediatrician.

History and the care summary

History keeps every feed, diaper and sleep. Share a PDF or CSV summary with your pediatrician from Settings.

Feed alarm

Settings → Feed alarm (iOS 26.1 or later). It rings like the Clock app one feed interval after the last feed, and moves every time a feed is logged.

Someone to help

Invite a caregiver in Settings. You share one log and take turns; alerts go to whoever's on duty.

Apple Watch and widgets

Add the Dreamshift buttons to your watch face, and the Log widget to your home or lock screen. You can also say "Log a feed in Dreamshift" to Siri.

Nursery display

A spare iPad can be a dim, always-on display by the crib. It never rings next to a sleeping baby.

The Apple Watch app, widgets, the feed alarm, all history, the care summary, inviting someone and the nursery display are part of Dreamshift Family (one-time purchase, free for 14 days). Logging is always free.

Common questions

How do I share the log with someone who helps?

Settings → Invite someone to help, then enter their Apple ID (email or phone). Once the invite is ready, send it in Messages or copy the link. They open it on their iPhone and join your log. Both of you need to be signed in to iCloud.

My log isn't showing up on the other phone

Dreamshift syncs through iCloud. If a phone can't sync, its "on duty" dot turns red and reads "Not syncing"; tap it to see why. The most common cause is a full iCloud storage plan.

The feed alarm isn't in Settings

The feed alarm needs iOS 26.1 or later. Update iOS in Settings → General → Software Update.

How do I restore Dreamshift Family on a new phone?

Open the Dreamshift Family screen and tap Restore purchase, signed in with the Apple ID you bought it with.

What does the free version include?

Logging (including Siri and Control Center), the Now screen, Quick check and the last 7 days of history are always free. Dreamshift Family is a one-time purchase, with no subscription, that adds the Apple Watch app, widgets, the feed alarm, all your history, the pediatrician summary, sharing and the iPad nursery display. You can try it free for 14 days; nothing is charged automatically.

Important

Dreamshift is a logging app. It is not a medical device or a baby monitor, and it doesn't give medical advice. If you're worried about your baby, contact your pediatrician or emergency services.
