Lāli: C-Section & First Year

Lāli (Telugu: లాలి, "lullaby") is a first-year companion built around one household truth: after a C-section, two people are recovering — a newborn finding rhythm, and a mother healing from surgery. Most baby apps track the baby. Lāli holds both of you. ALARMS THAT ACTUALLY WAKE YOU Newborns must eat every few hours — even when everyone finally fell asleep. Lāli's feed alarms are real system alarms: they ring through Silent and Focus, count down in the Dynamic Island, and adapt to your baby's age using WHO- and IAP-informed intervals. Stopping the alarm doesn't fake a log — Lāli knows a feed started, checks in gently a few minutes later, and records the real duration. Miss nothing; log honestly. ONE TAP, OR NO HANDS AT ALL FED NOW logs a feed and arms the next alarm in one tap. Arms full? Just say: "Hey Siri, log a bottle feed in Lāli" — the volume defaults to the age-typical amount. "Log a breast feed" asks how long and remembers which side is next. "Start burp timer" runs a 10-minute timer that rings even on the Lock Screen, alongside step-by-step burping technique. FOR MOM — THE RECOVERY TRACK A week-by-week C-section recovery program: daily check-ins for pain, bleeding and mood with honest typical ranges, medicine reminders parsed straight from your prescription times — including "for 5 days" courses that stop on their own and SOS (when-needed) medicines logged with one tap, showing when it was last taken and how many times today — red-flag guidance that always errs toward "call your doctor", and gentle wins — because healing deserves tracking too. FOR BABY — THE FIRST-YEAR TRACK Feeds (sessions with rounds — side switches and top-ups merge sensibly), diapers, sleep, pumping, growth plotted inside the real WHO 3rd–97th percentile bands, milestones with honest age ranges, and India's IAP vaccination schedule with reminders. THE 3AM COMPANION A dim, amber screen for night feeds: breathing ring, soothing sounds, a kind word. And when the baby's down but you're wide awake — an eight-minute spoken body scan that talks you back to sleep over soft rain. A YEAR YOU CAN HOLD Little moments — a photo or video a day, kept on your devices and your iCloud only. A journal for everything, with voice notes transcribed on-device. Every Sunday, a gentle recap of your week: feeds handled, nights survived, moments kept. No scores. No comparisons. READY FOR THE CLINIC One tap makes the doctor visit pack: a clean 3-page PDF of the last two weeks — feeding rhythm, growth against WHO bands, medicines, mom's recovery check-ins, vaccines, and space for questions. Print it or send it ahead. LEARN, HANDS BUSY Short illustrated guides — burping, swaddling, latch, bathing, cord care — with a coach mode that reads each step aloud while your hands are full. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No Lāli servers — your data lives on your device and in your own iCloud. Voice notes are transcribed on-device. We couldn't read your data if we wanted to. HONEST ABOUT MEDICINE Lāli is information and companionship, not medical advice. Its content is [reviewed by an OB-GYN and a pediatrician — ONLY CLAIM AFTER SIGN-OFF] and every "is this normal?" answer errs toward "ask your doctor". In any emergency, call your doctor first. One-time purchase. ₹299 for the whole first year and beyond — no subscription, shared with your family. The safety floor — red flags, vaccine schedule, basic logging — stays free forever. Lāli means lullaby. That's the goal: a calmer house, a healing mom, a fed baby, and everyone back to sleep.
