How Tiny Rhythm works
Numbered steps for the iPhone app: logging, history, export, sync status, delete, and what needs a connection. No public download yet.
When your iPhone is signed in to iCloud, Tiny Rhythm syncs your own records to your private iCloud. That sync starts on its own. Inviting a caregiver is a separate step. There is no switch in the app to turn sync off. Signing out of iCloud stops sync. The records on the phone stay on the phone.
Screenshots are not on this page. A set from a simulator, of a made-up baby on a test account, labelled with the build and the device, is still to come. This page does not use stand-in pictures of the app.

1. Log a sleep
On the Dashboard, tap Start sleep to begin a sleep now. To record one that already happened, use the Add sleep card: Add nap or Backfill sleep. The plus button opens Quick add, with Past sleep for a sleep that already happened.
-
2. Review history
Open the Rhythm tab. The day timeline lists sleeps already on this phone. Use the day control to move to another day. A past day is read only. The Dashboard also shows today’s rhythm.

3. Export a copy
Open Settings from the bell on the Dashboard, or from Profile, then Settings. Under Data & backup, tap Export backup. You can export a backup file, check a backup file, or export a CSV. This covers profiles you own.
-
4. Read sync status
The status sits on the Dashboard under the greeting, and again on Settings next to Family sharing. It can show that the app is syncing, updating, offline and waiting to sync, paused, or checked a moment ago. If the iPhone is not signed in to iCloud, that status is hidden. There is no separate screen with a sync off switch.
-
5. Delete all data
Settings, Data & backup, Delete all data. The app asks twice. Confirming erases babies, logs, settings, and photos on this device, cancels reminders, and deletes owned iCloud data. A caregiver who joined a share clears the local copy and leaves the share. That does not delete the owner’s records.
-
6. Offline and online
Logging and the schedule work on the phone without a connection. iCloud is needed to pull changes from another device, and to send or accept a caregiver invite. Signing out of iCloud stops sync. The records on the phone stay on the phone.
Longer checklists
Switching phones is not a page on this site. Export and import is the recovery route described here.
