How do I use timers for feeding, sleep, and tummy time?

Track important activities with built-in timers that keep going in the background and show up across your devices.

Updated over a week ago

Kiri includes timers so you can easily track how long activities last without watching the clock.


🍼 Breastfeeding timer

  • Start the breastfeeding timer when you begin feeding.

  • Track left and right sides separately.

  • Pause or stop whenever you need to.


💤 Sleep timer

  • Start the sleep timer when your baby falls asleep.

  • It keeps running until you stop it, so you’ll always know the total sleep duration.


🤸 Tummy time timer

  • Tap the tummy time timer when your baby starts practicing on the mat.

  • End it when they finish, and Kiri will log the total time.


📱 How timers work

  • Timers keep running even if you close the app, so you can use your phone for other things.

  • On newer iPhones with the Dynamic Island, timers appear as a Live Activity at the top of the screen.

  • They also show up as Live Activities on your Apple Watch and inside Kiri widgets.

  • Timers update inside the app too, so you can check progress at a glance.


🔒 Privacy note

For your privacy, timers aren’t shared in real time with other caregivers. Once you stop the timer and save the entry, it appears in the shared journal timeline.


👉 Summary: Use Kiri’s timers for breastfeeding, sleep, and tummy time to track sessions hands-free. They run in the background, appear as Live Activities on iPhone and Apple Watch, and sync into your widgets — but stay private until you end them.
