# Moonleap

> Moonleap is an iPhone app that shows when a baby's developmental leaps (short, fussy stretches often followed by new skills) are likely to come, counted from the due date, what the baby may be learning, and how to play along. The chart, the signs for every leap and the diary are free; there is no account and no ads. General information, not medical advice.

## What it is

- A personal chart of ten developmental leaps from the due date to about 18 months, each drawn as a moon that is full at the peak. Counting from the due date means premature babies are counted right. Newborn weeks 1 to 4 are covered before the first leap.
- A chart that adapts: parents rate each day with one tap, and Moonleap compares the baby's moods with the leaps and suggests shifting the timing (leaps often come a week early or late).
- A diary where every note and photo is tagged with its leap; each month becomes a shareable Leap Story card.
- App Store name: "Baby Leaps & Diary: Moonleap". Made by Darko Jovanovski, an independent developer in North Macedonia.

## Who it's for

- Parents of babies from birth to about 18 months who want to understand fussy weeks, sleep regressions and growth spurts in plain words.
- Parents who prefer an app with no account, no ads and data kept on their own iPhone.
- Both parents: the diary can be sent to a partner's iPhone and merges without overwriting; Plus is shared through Apple Family Sharing.

## Key features

- Ten-leap chart with dates, reminders before each leap, and export of every leap to the iPhone calendar.
- For each leap: what changes in the baby's world, signs you might notice, tips for fussy days, and when to call the doctor.
- 120 new abilities and 150 milestones, shown as windows, not deadlines.
- 80 play activities with photos and easy steps, organised by leap.
- Ask Moonleap: questions such as "Is this a leap or teething?" answered by Apple's on-device model from Moonleap's guide and the parent's diary, with sources. Nothing typed leaves the iPhone. Written answers need Apple Intelligence; other iPhones get the matching guide pages. Symptom questions are always pointed to a doctor.
- Night mode for 3 a.m.: red light, a calm checklist, soft brown noise.
- Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets and a Dynamic Island Live Activity.
- Several babies in one app; light and dark themes; available in 50 App Store languages.
