What is "What's Next" and how does it work?

What's Next replaces a rigid schedule with a live prediction that learns from your child's actual patterns. It's there to give you a heads-up — not to bind you to a clock.

Where to find it.

The menu on the right has a pulsing icon when a fresh prediction is ready. Tap it to open the What's Next panel.

What's in the panel.

• A time range for the next predicted sleep window — never an exact minute. "Around 12:30 to 1:15" rather than "sleep at 12:47". Children aren't clocks.
• Sleepy cues to watch for at this age — yawning, ear-pulling, fussing, faraway eyes — so you read your child, not just the clock.
• Confidence note — Happyly is honest about how sure it is. New users get age-based defaults; after a few days of tracking, the prediction shifts to your child's actual patterns.
• Reasoning — short explanation of what the prediction is built from (e.g., "based on the last three naps + your child's current age").

The three phases.

• Starting (days 0–2): pure age-based defaults. Predictions are wide ranges; the goal is just to avoid surprises.
• Learning (days 3–6): blended — age defaults plus what Happyly has seen so far. Ranges narrow.
• In rhythm (day 7+): pattern-primary. Predictions reflect your child's actual rhythm, not a generic chart.

Nudges (optional).

You can ask Happyly to slide in a quiet banner 10, 15, or 30 minutes before a predicted window. Set the lead time inside the panel. The banner auto-dismisses after 30 seconds — there are no push notifications.

Mute for today.

Flexible day? Tap Mute until tomorrow in the panel. Happyly stops surfacing predictions until the next morning. Your tracking still works; the nudges just stay quiet.

While the baby is sleeping.

The panel switches to "Sweet dreams!" with an elapsed timer when a sleep is in progress, so you can check how long they've been down without doing math.
