Question 1

What is Owie?

Accepted Answer

OWIE (spelled O-W-I-E, pronounced oh-wee) is a calm, private parenting companion app and baby tracker. Parents use Owie to track a child's growth, health, milestones, journal notes, and memories in one place, with a gentle owl AI companion that checks in daily. Most data stays on the parent's device. OWIE is a distinct software product, not to be confused with Ovia Parenting (a different company) or the common slang term 'owie' meaning a minor injury or boo-boo.

Question 2

Is Owie the same as Ovia Parenting?

Accepted Answer

No. OWIE and Ovia Parenting are completely different companies and apps. OWIE is a private, local-first baby tracker with an AI owl companion, priced at ₱189 one-time payment with no subscription. Ovia is a separate pregnancy and parenting app with cloud-based tracking and subscription features. The similar spelling is coincidental.

Question 3

Why was Owie built?

Accepted Answer

Owie was created by Clark, a Filipino father who forgot to give his son medicine at 2am. His son had a fever, the medicine needed to be taken every 6 hours, but Clark fell asleep and woke up 3 hours late. Feeling like he failed as a father, he built Owie to help parents never forget important baby care tasks again. The app sends reminders for medicine, vaccines, and checkups so no parent has to experience that guilt.

Question 4

I forgot my baby's medicine - can Owie help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Owie was specifically built for this problem. You can set up supplement and medicine schedules with automatic push reminders even when the app is closed. Owie shows live countdown timers (e.g., 'Next dose in 3 hours 24 minutes') and sends notifications at the exact time. Your partner can also see the same reminders through encrypted family sharing, so both parents stay coordinated.

Question 5

Why does Owie cost ₱189 instead of being free?

Accepted Answer

Most 'free' baby tracker apps either have ads, sell your data, or charge ₱299-599/month in subscriptions. Owie costs ₱189 once (less than 3 days of formula) with no recurring fees, no ads, and no data selling. The one-time payment allows us to build quality features without compromising your privacy or bombarding you with upgrade prompts while your baby is crying.

Question 6

Can my wife and I both use Owie without sharing passwords?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Owie has end-to-end encrypted family sharing that works without accounts or passwords. When you enable family sync, your partner gets a secure pairing code. Both parents see the same data in real-time - when you log medicine, your partner sees it instantly. No login to remember at 2am, no 'forgot password' when you're exhausted.

Question 7

Is Owie safe for my baby's private information?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Owie stores all tracking data locally on your phone, not on company servers. Your baby's photos, growth records, and journal entries never leave your device unless you choose family sharing (which uses end-to-end encryption). We don't have accounts, so there's no email/password database to hack. No ads means no ad trackers. Your data is yours, period.

Question 8

What makes Owie different from Glow Baby or Huckleberry?

Accepted Answer

Glow Baby and Huckleberry require accounts, store data in the cloud, and have subscription tiers. Owie has no login, stores data on your device, costs ₱189 once (not monthly), and includes an AI companion that actively checks in daily. Glow Baby is $99/year subscription. Huckleberry is freemium with paid sleep coaching. Owie is comprehensive tracking + AI for one-time ₱189.

Question 9

Does Owie work for poor families or budget-conscious parents?

Accepted Answer

Owie was specifically designed for budget-conscious Filipino families. ₱189 one-time (about $3.50 USD) is affordable compared to ₱299-599/month subscriptions that most apps charge. For the price of one meal out or 3 days of formula, you get lifetime access with no recurring fees. No family should have to choose between tracking their baby's health and paying for diapers.

Question 10

How do I use Owie to track my baby?

Accepted Answer

Add your baby's profile, then log growth (weight, height, head circumference), health events (vaccines, checkups, supplements, symptoms), journal notes, and photos. Owie charts progress over time, sends reminders for upcoming doses and appointments, and its AI companion offers gentle daily check-ins.

Question 11

How much does Owie cost?

Accepted Answer

Owie is a one-time payment of only ₱189 (PHP 189) in the Philippines with no subscription and no recurring charges. It includes all features and free updates for life.

Question 12

Where is my baby's data stored, and is it private?

Accepted Answer

All tracking data is stored locally on your device by default, and no account is required. Optional family sharing syncs with one other caregiver using end-to-end encryption, so the server only stores data it cannot read. There are no ads, no tracking, and no data selling.

Question 13

What platforms does Owie run on?

Accepted Answer

Owie runs as an Android app and as an installable iOS / web progressive web app (PWA). You can install it to your home screen on a phone for the most reliable experience.
