We understand the complexities of parenthood and the desire to provide the best care for your child while navigating everyday tasks, so we love to share our Onoco parenting hacks to help. So we’re excited to introduce our latest feature - widgets that you can access right from your phone screen at any time. These widgets are designed to provide you with quick, convenient access to essential logs and information whenever you need them. If you're not sure how to add widgets to your phone screen, you can find out more here.
When you're knee-deep in the whirlwind of parenting, every little bit of convenience counts. That's where widgets on your phone swoop in as lifesavers. With just a glance, you can see the weather forecast for your outdoor adventure or check your grocery list - but you can now also see when your baby needs to be fed, changed or put down for a nap. Widgets make multitasking a breeze, allowing you to focus on what truly matters – making memories with your little ones – while effortlessly managing the moving parts of parenting.
Please note, the widgets feature is currently only available for iOS users and those on our premium subscription - but don't worry Android users, we'll be releasing something for you too!
Embracing technology for enhanced parenting
In today’s fast-paced world, technology has become an integral part of our lives, offering solutions to streamline tasks and improve efficiency. As a parent, embracing technology can significantly enhance your ability to care for your child while managing other aspects of your life. With Onoco widgets and our many other AI features, you can leverage the power of technology to stay connected and informed, helping you make informed decisions and provide personalised care to your little ones.
Other Onoco features that can help with finding the parenting balance are:
AI nap predictor - using your baby's real data, our in-house AI tool can tell you when your baby is due for a nap before they become overtired.
AI routine builder - based on your natural daily schedule and your baby's needs and logs, our AI routine builder can schedule your daily plan for you and take the guesswork out of ever-changing needs and routines.
Knowledge hub - full of resources, videos and articles to educate and empower parents. All content is based on the latest available research.
Live activities - when you're tracking naps, feeds and pumping you can see the live activity tracking from your locked phone screen, so you can easily keep an eye on timings! In the latest version we redesigned this feature:
Finding balance in every moment
Parenting is a challenge of balancing various aspects of life - from work commitments to household chores and quality family time. With Onoco widgets, you can find that balance by efficiently managing your child’s care while also taking care of yourself - checking widgets is much quicker and easier than finding that piece of paper with all of the logs on there!
As the iOS widgets are native, they don't refresh in real time so you may have to wait a few minutes before seeing the live update. This makes the feature useful for logs that you add less often like medicine administration, planned activities like playtime and tummy time or reading time.
If you wish to log "tummy time" or "reading time" in your app, you can do so by creating a Custom log.
By incorporating modern technology into your parenting routine, you can optimise your time and energy, allowing you to focus on what truly matters - creating lasting memories with your little ones.
Onoco is a modern approach to parenting based on research and technology. If you haven't already given it a try, you should! We can almost guarantee it will give you a sense of control and organisation, so join the thousands of other parents and try it out!
