About Pottle
Pottle is a hosted app that turns potty training into a step-by-step plan for first-time parents of toddlers aged roughly two to three and a half. It aims to join the method, which parents usually read in a book, with tracking that normally lives in a separate notes app.
The journey is split into five phases: bare bottom, commando, undies, out and about, then naps and nights. The app places your child in a phase and tells you when to advance using their tracked results rather than guesswork, and it gives a specific next step when accidents or regression occur.
A free readiness assessment takes about two minutes and produces a roadmap for your child, shown in the examples with a checklist of readiness signs and a timeline of the phases. The site also has a blog, an FAQ and a pricing page, though the fetched text does not state prices.
