A Nara Baby alternative that keeps your history
Rhythm is free on one device, with no account, and it imports a Nara Baby export with every record type intact. Sharing with a partner is Household sync, $5/month or $45/year per household.
Last updated: November 2026
Nara Baby now charges after a 7-day trial: $9.99/month, or $99.99 once for lifetime. Without a subscription a family can view and export what it already logged, but can't add new entries.
So the first step is the same whichever app you pick next: export your Nara data. It is four taps and it still works after the trial ends. Then open the file in Rhythm and look at your own baby's history before you decide anything.

Nara's price, trial and read-only behavior checked against Nara's own FAQ on November 11, 2026. The feature-by-feature comparison is on the Rhythm vs Nara Baby page.
Bringing your Nara history
A Nara export is one CSV per child. In Rhythm, open Settings, Import Data, Nara, and choose the file. Sleep, feeds, pumping, diapers, medicine, milestones, vaccines and growth arrive as the matching Rhythm events, none of it dumped into notes. A year of Nara history, 10,933 entries, took about 20 seconds on a phone.
Nothing changes in Nara, and you can import again later from a fresh export. The export and import steps are here.
If free sharing was the reason you used Nara
Rhythm charges for sharing, so it is not a like-for-like free replacement for two phones. Other trackers do share for free, and several of them import a Nara file too. I checked ten of them against their own pages: which trackers import a Nara Baby export. For what each one charges, see what baby tracker apps cost.
When staying with Nara is the better choice
If you like Nara and would rather pay once, the $99.99 lifetime option covers every caregiver and any future children. Nara is also a native app with an Apple Watch app and home-screen widgets, and it tracks pregnancy and postpartum for the mother. Rhythm is a web app and does none of that.
Questions
Is there a free alternative to Nara Baby?
Rhythm is free on one device: tracking, wake-window predictions, the Nara import and export. Seeing the same log on a second phone is Household sync, $5/month or $45/year per household.
Is the Nara Baby tracker still free?
Not for new entries. Nara's FAQ lists a 7-day trial, then $9.99/month or $99.99 for lifetime. Without a subscription you can view and export existing data (checked November 11, 2026).
Will I lose my data if I switch from Nara Baby?
No. Export the CSV from Account, Family, your child's name, Export Data, and import it into Rhythm. The preview lists every record type with a count before anything is saved, and your Nara account is left as it was.
Does Rhythm have an iPhone or Android app?
It runs in the browser on both, and you can add it to the home screen. There is no App Store listing and no watch app.
