NightShift Parenting Scheduler
A mobile app that turns nighttime parenting into a structured, shared on-call rotation with checklists, escalation rules, and accountability logs. It helps couples agree on a sleep-training approach (e.g., Ferber variants), assign who responds when, and track outcomes (wake-ups, response times, interventions) to reduce conflict and improve consistency.
Target customer
Two-caregiver households with infants/toddlers experiencing frequent night wakings, especially where one caregiver is overloaded and the other has safety-critical work constraints (e.g., air traffic control, healthcare, transportation).
Problem-solution fit
Families in sleep crises often fail not due to lack of knowledge, but because execution breaks down: unclear roles, inconsistent responses, and resentments about fairness. This product operationalizes the plan into shifts and rules, making it easier to comply while respecting job constraints and providing objective data to discuss workload and progress.
