Made in Brisbane
An Australian baby tracker app, with the data kept here
Most baby trackers on an Australian phone are American, priced in a currency that is converted at the app store, written in words no child health nurse uses, and hosted wherever was cheapest. BubSync is the other thing: built in Brisbane by two parents, with family data kept in Sydney, prices in dollars, Australian health sources wherever they exist, and nappies called nappies.
What makes a baby tracker Australian?
Six things you can check, not a flag on a listing: where the company is, where the data physically sits, what currency the price is in, whose guidance the numbers come from, what words it uses, and which privacy law its policy is written to. Each of the six is answered below, with a link to the page where it is checkable.
Made in Brisbane, by parents
BubSync was built in Brisbane by Ashley and Sarah, between night feeds, early mornings and full-time work, because the apps they tried did not fit the way real families share the care of a baby. It is owned by the family that built it, and it takes no money from advertisers, formula companies or employer-benefits schemes.
Read the storyFamily data kept in Sydney
Primary account, family and activity data is hosted and processed in AWS ap-southeast-2, which is Sydney. Photos for Premium families are held there encrypted. Website delivery uses global edge services, so connection metadata can be processed elsewhere; the privacy policy says exactly what and where.
Where the data goesPrices in Australian dollars
Free to use, with Premium at A$9.99 a month or A$79.99 a year in Australia after a one-month trial. One subscription covers the whole family, however many carers and babies. No currency conversion, no surprise at the app store.
See pricing and plansAustralian health sources first, and any overseas one named
Feeding amounts, nappy counts and newborn warning signs on this site are cited to Raising Children Network, Pregnancy, Birth and Baby, Children’s Health Queensland, the Australian Breastfeeding Association and Red Nose. Where no Australian service publishes a range, the page names the overseas authority it used instead: Cleveland Clinic for wake windows, the NHS and the American Academy of Pediatrics beside the Australian formula volumes, and the WHO and INTERGROWTH-21st growth standards that Australian child health services plot babies on.
The free tools, with their sourcesAustralian words
Nappies, not diapers. Dummies, not pacifiers. Child health nurses, the blue book in New South Wales and the red book in Queensland, millilitres and kilograms. The app itself switches to Australian terms on an Australian phone, and the site is written in them throughout.
The nappy tracker guideThe Privacy Act, in plain words
BubSync’s privacy policy commits to the Australian Privacy Principles and to the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, names the Australian company that operates the service, and says how deletion works and how long it takes. The privacy guide walks through what that means for a baby tracker.
The privacy policyWhat is not Australian, said plainly
The website and app are delivered through a global content-delivery network, so the metadata of a connection, an IP address, a timestamp, a browser identifier, can be processed outside Australia. AI features run on a managed cloud service primarily from Australia but may be routed through another region when a model is unavailable locally, and under current arrangements nothing sent to them is used to train the models. Some of the guidance we cite is international, where no Australian service publishes the range or the Australian authority defers to it: the WHO and INTERGROWTH-21st growth standards, Cleveland Clinic on wake windows, the NHS on pregnancy weeks and on formula volumes, and the American Academy of Pediatrics on formula schedules, each named on the page that uses it. All of this is in the privacy policy, because a page that only lists the flattering half is not worth trusting on the rest.
Questions Australian parents ask
- Is BubSync an Australian app?
- Yes. BubSync is built in Brisbane by the family that owns it, operated by an Australian company, priced in Australian dollars, and keeps primary family data in AWS ap-southeast-2 in Sydney.
- Is my baby’s data stored in Australia?
- Primary account, family and activity data is stored and processed in Sydney. Two things can leave: website delivery uses global content-delivery services, so connection metadata such as an IP address may be processed outside Australia, and when you ask the AI hub for something, the structured summary of recent activity it sends as context runs primarily from Australia but may be routed through another region when a model is unavailable locally. The stored record itself stays in Sydney.
- Which growth chart does BubSync use?
- The WHO Child Growth Standards from birth to two years, which are the charts printed in each Australian state’s baby health record, and the INTERGROWTH-21st preterm standards before the due date for babies born early, on corrected age.
- Does BubSync take money from formula companies?
- No. BubSync runs no advertising and takes no money from formula, pharmaceutical or employer-benefits companies. It is paid for by the families who choose Premium.
- Can I use BubSync outside Australia?
- Yes. The app works anywhere, and Apple and Google set the equivalent local price for Premium in your own currency. The vocabulary on this site is Australian by choice, and so are the health sources wherever an Australian service publishes the range.
