Under the surface

Reliability without technical clutter.

The app handles synchronization, recovery, and review while keeping the interface focused on the moment.

Server-authoritative timing

The shared timer has one source of truth so phones and the Watch Shortcut do not create competing records.

Correctable records

Edit start time, end time, duration, status, and notes; delete individual records; mark a contraction reviewed; or undo an accidental end.

Background notifications

Notifications can arrive when the Home Screen app is not open, including labor updates and timer-recovery reminders.

Watch-friendly input

An optional Apple Watch Shortcut lets a first tap start and a second tap end and save a contraction.

Connection resilience

Pending timer actions are tracked and synchronized after connectivity returns, with visible status and diagnostics.

Household isolation

Authenticated users can access only households they belong to. Invite codes connect a couple without exposing other households.

Preparation in advance

Save provider and hospital numbers, provider instructions, departure guidance, and practical support tasks before labor begins.

Practice without polluting history

Test Mode exercises timing and coordination while keeping practice records separate from real labor history.
