# GrowthKit

> GrowthKit is a free iPhone app for tracking children's growth using WHO/CDC-standard percentile charts, with doctor-ready PDF reports and complete family profile management. All data is stored privately on the user's device.

## What is GrowthKit?

GrowthKit is a child growth tracking app for iPhone. Parents log their child's height, weight, and head circumference measurements, and the app instantly plots that data on WHO Child Growth Standards charts — the same charts used by pediatricians worldwide — showing exactly where the child sits in population percentiles.
