It’s 3am and her fever is back. Did your partner already give her Tylenol before bed — or was that last night? You’re not going to text someone who finally fell asleep to find out.

Then the appointment: the fever started Tuesday. Or was it Monday night? The rash came after the sore throat, you think. Your doctor is about to ask all of this, and you’re piecing it together from memory.

Symptom Kids puts both parents on one timeline and captures everything in the moment — so nobody has to remember.

Features

Built for the moment it happens

  • Both parents, one timeline

    When one of you logs a dose, the other sees it instantly — with reminders on both phones. No more “did you already give her Tylenol?”

  • Walk in prepared

    Copy or text a clean, dated summary your pediatrician can read at the appointment. Plus adds clinical PDF exports.

  • Log it in 5 seconds

    Tap a symptom chip, enter a temperature, or write a note. No forms, no friction — even one-handed at 2am.

  • Illness timeline

    Entries group into episodes automatically — onset, duration, and symptoms at a glance.

Never double-dose. Never miss one.

The timeline always shows the last dose — what was given, how much, when, and by which parent. And when the next dose is due, the reminder goes to both phones. No dose math at 3am, and no waking your partner to ask.

How it works

Three steps, zero learning curve

  1. Step 1

    Tap to log

    Chip taps, temperature, doses, notes. One entry takes about 5 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Your partner sees it instantly

    Doses, temps, and notes sync across the household — with medicine reminders on both phones.

  3. Step 3

    Share it with the doctor

    At the appointment, copy or text the summary. Your pediatrician gets the full, dated picture.

Privacy

Your child’s health data is yours.

Your child's data lives on your phone
Everything you log is stored on your device and works offline. Household sync — keeping both parents on one timeline — sends your child's profile and log entries to our server for that one purpose. Photos stay on your device unless you turn on Plus photo backup.
No ads. No data selling. No tracking.
There are no advertising or tracking SDKs in the app, and your child's health history never touches an ad network. Analytics is opt-in only and never includes personal or health details; crash reports are scrubbed before they leave your phone.
You choose exactly what leaves the app
Sharing is always explicit: a co-parent you invite, a grandparent you add, or the summary you hand your doctor. Nothing is shared until you share it.

The details, in plain language: read our privacy policy.

Our story

Built by a dad of three, starting at 3am

Symptom Kids started as a WhatsApp thread. When one of our kids got sick, my wife and I would text each other every dose of medicine — because a message has a timestamp, and a timestamp meant we always knew what was given and when. It worked, sort of. Then the dose log would get buried under grocery lists and school logistics, and we’d be scrolling through weeks of chat to find the last Tylenol.

Then came the pediatrician visits. When did the fever start? How high did it get? What came first, the rash or the sore throat? We’d piece the week together from memory, through the brain fog of three young kids and not enough sleep.

Two problems kept coming back: coordinating medicine doses between two parents, and having a clear record when the doctor asks. A third emerged once we had one — seeing the trends you only spot over time: the cough that keeps coming back, the symptoms that creep, the patterns across months.

I tried the existing apps. They were all a bit too complicated — more than we needed. The thing we actually loved was the simplicity of a chat thread. So I built exactly that: a messaging-style timeline for symptoms and doses. Then I sat down with pediatrician friends and asked what they wish parents brought to appointments — and made it that, and easy to share.
