Sharing the night shift

Two tired people make better decisions when they’re looking at the same log.

Skim: one-sentence hand-off · guest mode is fine · imperfect logs are OK

Agree the hand-off in one sentence

“Last feed at 1:10, nappy wet, asleep on the left.” That’s enough. Invite with code, link, or QR when you want both phones on the same log.

Guest mode is still valid

You don’t need an account to log. Create one later for backup or partner sync. Offline-first means the phone still works when Wi‑Fi doesn’t.

Be kind about imperfect logs

Missed entries happen. Edit gently, delete what’s wrong, keep going. Shared calm beats a perfect audit trail.
