Why Vaava?

Recently I started to have a need for baby habit logging. As many parents know, keeping track of routines with a baby is a good habit. For this of course a simple paper and pen is fine. But with 2 persons (or more) it is not necessarily the most easy or efficient way. So I checked some available apps and it seemed like they are either: - super expensive - web based (I would prefer an app on my phone) - don't have voice dictation support - don't have a "baby monitor" feature built in - don't work on both iOS and Android The problem of logging baby habits was in my mind an obvious candidate for purely private local network based application. The users who need to share data are limited and the amount of data generated is very constrained. Also the privacy aspect is in my mind very important in this case. So I tried to build a basic feature with OpenAI's software development tool Codex (https://openai.com/codex/) when they released the desktop application. I had an ok version built basically in a day. A more refined version in a couple of weeks. The app supports the features I liked it to have and it is available on both iOS and Android: - Voice dictation for logging baby habits - You can decide which events you want to log - You can view trends and growth projections - You can easily use your data in a chatgpt prompt. I am not necessarily encouraging asking chatgpt for parenting advice, but if you do you might as well provide good data as context - Baby monitor mode, you can use for example an old phone as a baby unit and your current phone as the listening unit - The app is easy to start using, just download it and begin logging - You can share data between caregivers fully securely and in private in your own network (wifi) The developer Juho Kantola
