Boobery vs Onoco

Onoco is the closest thing to a British Huckleberry: a shared, cloud-based tracker with AI nap predictions, developmental milestones and unlimited caregivers on one subscription. Boobery is the opposite trade - everything on your phone, working with no signal, bought once. The choice comes down to whether you want a shared cloud or an app that never needs one.

Boobery
Onoco
Price

$24.99 once - yours forever, every feature included

Subscription - £8.99/mo or £59.99/yr; the free tier is genuinely usable

Works offline

Fully - the timer, logging, history and stats never touch the internet

Needs a connection - the shared cloud is what makes it work, so logging depends on being online

Account

None - open the app and start

Required - the account is what powers the shared tracking

Where your data lives

On your iPhone - and paired Apple Watch. No server, no cloud copy

In their cloud - which is what makes the caregiver sharing work

Sharing with caregivers

Share any feed as a link - no account on either end - but it is one card at a time, not a live shared log

Unlimited caregivers - with per-person access levels, all included in one subscription - the most generous offer in the category

Sleep predictions

Deliberately none - no algorithm telling you what your baby should do next

AI nap scheduler - personalised nap predictions, on the paid tier

Milestones and development

Not our lane - Boobery tracks feeds, not development

A real strength - 460+ milestones across five years, on the EYFS framework, plus a knowledge hub

Apple Watch

Included - start, switch and stop from your wrist; nothing gated

On the paid tier - the Watch app is part of Premium

Choose Boobery if…

You want the timer to work in a hospital corridor, a rural cottage or a basement flat - because a feed happens whether or not there is signal. Everything stays on your iPhone, there is no account, and you pay $24.99 once rather than every year for as long as you have a baby.

Choose Onoco if…

Several people look after your baby and you want them all in one live log - Onoco’s unlimited caregivers with per-person access are the most generous sharing in the category, and one subscription covers everyone. Add the milestone tracking and the nap scheduler and it is a genuinely broad product, if you are happy being online for it.

The short version: Onoco is built around a shared cloud; Boobery is built around a phone that works anywhere. Pick the one whose trade-off you can live with at 3am.

Private. Offline. Yours.

$24.99 once, yours forever - no subscription, ever
