5 apps for everything your kids outgrow

Kids outgrow shoes in six weeks and a whole wardrobe in a season. What happens next is five different jobs: knowing how much they actually grew, keeping the story behind the toy before it goes, selling the clothes, passing the rest to a neighbour, and keeping the everyday moments that the outgrown things were part of.

The apps for everything your kids outgrow are Growth: baby & child charts, Declutter, Vinted, BuyNothing and Tinybeans. I built Declutter; the other 4 are other developers’ apps.

Four stars is my score for how well an app answers this moment. An app I built gets four and a half — that is a rule, not a comparison. The App Store’s own average is on each card beside it.

1. 

   Growth: baby & child charts

   ★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · Free · Medical · App Store 4.8 (8,303)

   Plot your child's height and weight on WHO and CDC charts.

   Skip it if you have more than one child or a child past their first birthday — extra children and percentiles after year one are paid add-ons, and data that is not backed up has been lost to a phone switch.

2. 

   Declutter Editor’s pick

   ★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · Free · Lifestyle · App Store 5.0 (7)

   Photograph the outgrown toy, keep the story behind it, then let it go.

3. 

   Vinted

   ★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · Free · Shopping · App Store 4.9 (407,427)

   Snap the outgrown clothes, set a price, keep 100% of what they sell for.

   Skip it if you need a person to answer when something goes wrong — reviewers describe automated moderation that removes listings or bans sellers, and support that rarely gets past stock replies.

4. 

   BuyNothing

   ★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · Free · Social Networking · App Store 4.3 (2,076)

   Give outgrown things to neighbors nearby, or borrow what you need.

   Skip it if you live somewhere rural or need it to just work — groups beyond about 20 miles sit behind a paid membership, and reviewers report crashes, sign-outs and missed message alerts since the rewrite.

5. 

   Tinybeans

   ★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · Free · Lifestyle · App Store 4.9 (104,227)

   A private family journal for everyday moments, sorted by date for you.

   Skip it if you want a free family photo journal — prices have gone up repeatedly, and long-time users report photos falling out of order, captions disappearing and crashes.

Declutter is one of mine — everything else on this list is someone else’s app. How that works.
