Enter a few numbers and see where their height is heading. Centile does the maths with a published growth method, so there are no charts to read.
For parents of teens
A pencil mark on the door frame can’t tell you how tall your child might be, and it stays behind when you move. Centile works it out in a minute and keeps every height check on your phone.

Why Centile
Enter a few numbers and see where their height is heading. Centile does the maths with a published growth method, so there are no charts to read.
Measure, type it in, done. The change since last time and the chart appear on their own.
Every check is dated and kept, not pencilled on a door you’ll paint over or leave behind. It’s all on your phone, for more than one child.
Check in with them, not just their height, and look back together on how far they’ve come.
What you get
Their height today against the top and bottom of their range. Plus narrows it with their age, their height today and their weight today. For ages 13 to 17½.
See each height check, the change since last time and the chart. Plus reminds you once a month.
Food, sleep and exercise help your child grow normally. Poor nutrition and real sleep problems can hold growth back while they’re still growing. No habit adds height beyond what their genes allow. The daily check-ins help make the basics a habit.
Log how they ate and how long they slept, start a routine, and see the last seven days as charts.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack ideas for every day, with easy swaps. No calorie counting.
Three routines, each with a warm-up, bodyweight work and a stretch, shown step by step.
Privacy
No account and no ad tracking. Centile asks only for a first name or nickname and keeps it on the phone with everything else. An iPhone backup may copy it; on Android nothing is backed up.
Free and Centile Plus
Free uses the Tanner method, a proven height formula. It needs three things: your child’s mum’s height, their dad’s height, and whether they’re a boy or a girl.

“How they compare with others their age” uses the CDC 2000 US growth reference. Source: CDC. CDC does not endorse Centile. The source data are available free from CDC. It describes them today. It is not their range and it is not a diagnosis.
What it can’t do
Nobody can. Centile doesn’t know about puberty, illness, medicine or food. It can’t spot a growth problem either. See how we work out the range.

Yes. Plus keeps more than one child on one phone.
Free asks three things: mum’s height, dad’s height, and boy or girl. It also asks you to tick that your child is 13 to 19. Plus adds their age, their height today and their weight today, for its narrower range. Everything stays on your phone.
Only you. The heights stay on your phone. Apple or Google runs purchases.
13 and over. The Plus range runs from 13 to 17½. Centile is made for teenagers, so it starts at 13. It stops at 17½ because the published method behind Plus (Khamis–Roche, 1994) has figures only up to that age. After 17½ the free range still applies.
