Belay is the pregnancy companion built for dads and partners. Pregnancy apps weren't made for you. They're built for the person carrying the baby — full of symptoms, bump photos, and fruit-size comparisons. Belay is different. It's YOUR guide to the 40 weeks ahead. THE RANGER — YOUR AI TRAIL GUIDE Meet The Ranger: an AI-powered guide trained on what partners actually need to know. Ask anything — "What should I say when she's anxious about the anatomy scan?" or "How do I help during contractions?" The Ranger gives you practical, judgment-free guidance tailored to your exact week of pregnancy. Note: The Ranger is powered by AI (Anthropic Claude). It provides educational information and emotional support, not medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical questions. 40 WEEKS AS A MOUNTAIN TREK Your pregnancy journey is framed as a trek up a mountain — from the gentle foothills of the first trimester to the summit of birth day. Each week, you hit a new Waypoint with content designed specifically for the partner's experience. YOUR BACKPACK — PRACTICAL TOOLS - Summit Plan: Build a birth plan together with your partner - Pack Check: Hospital bag checklist so nothing gets forgotten - Weather Report: Daily mood check-ins to track your own mental health - Emergency Beacon: When-to-call-the-doctor info, one tap away - Field Notes: A private journal for the journey THE DESCENT — POSTPARTUM MATTERS Most apps end at birth. Belay continues for the full first year — 52 weeks postpartum — because the hardest part often comes after the summit. The Ranger stays with you through sleepless nights, feeding challenges, and the identity shift of becoming a parent. FREE TO START The full trail is free — all 92 weeks of Waypoints, the Beacon, and your first conversations with The Ranger. Summit Pass ($9.99/month or $79.99/year) unlocks unlimited Ranger conversations, Ranger Memory (your guide remembers your story), mood trends, and the full Backpack toolkit. Built by a dad who wished this existed. Belay is not medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider. The Ranger is AI-powered — helpful, but not a doctor.
