Jellybean
A 3am log for bottle babies.
Jellybean is a log for the people awake at 3am keeping very small cats alive. It does one job: weigh, feed and log a whole litter, one-handed, in the dark, in under a minute. It is free, it has no account, and it never talks to a server.
This page is where to get help with it.
Support
Jellybean is made by one person. Write about anything — a bug, a thing that got in your way at 3am, a fact the app records wrongly, or something a foster needs that isn't there. Replies come from a human, usually within a couple of days.
The app has a feedback link of its own, in Care. It opens a draft email with the version and three facts about your litter already filled in, which saves a round trip when something is wrong. You see every word before it sends.
Questions that come up
Where is my data, and can I get it out?
On your phone, in the app's own storage, and yes. Care has a full export — a plain file with the photographs beside it — handed to the share sheet so you can put it wherever you like. There is no copy anywhere else, which also means deleting the app deletes the record. Export first.
My alarm didn't wake me.
Check that notifications are allowed for Jellybean in Settings. On iOS 26 the next feed can ring as a true alarm — through silent, through Focus — but if that permission was declined it falls back to an ordinary notification, which a sleeping person will not hear. The schedule itself comes from your own log: feed late and the next alarm moves with reality, so it can be later than you expect.
The camera button opened my photo library.
That is the fallback for a device with no camera available, or one where camera access was declined. Allow the camera in Settings and the button points the lens instead.
Why won't it tell me if a kitten is doing well?
Because it doesn't know, and neither does anyone who isn't looking at the kitten. Jellybean states what you observed and stops. It has no green ticks, no "all good", and no reassuring summaries, and it will never quietly downgrade a concern because a harmless explanation is available. When a line goes flat while the littermates climb, it says so in plain words and hands you the rescue's phone number. Absence of a warning is silence, not an all-clear.
Can I use it for a nursing mother instead of orphans?
Yes. A queen flips the app from feeding to watching: you log weights, what you saw, and how often each kitten nursed. Mom gets her own record. If one kitten is being outcompeted, the chart is where it shows up first.
Does it work with no signal?
Completely. There is no networking code in the app at all — a basement, a barn, or airplane mode makes no difference to it.
What happens when the kittens leave?
Closing out a foster keeps everything. There is a one-page report for the vet or the rescue, and a baby book for the adopter — the whole line from the first weigh to the last, the day the eyes opened, the photographs. The kittens you have raised stay on a wall in the app.
