## What is Preggrs?

A pregnancy app that shows its work. Every answer carries a strength-of-evidence grade and a citation you can open.
Most pregnancy apps tell you to avoid something. Preggrs tells you who says so, how strong the evidence is, and links you to the source so you can read it yourself.

CHECK ANYTHING
Scan a food or skincare barcode, photograph an ingredient list, or search by name. Every answer is graded — strong evidence, moderate, precautionary, or folklore — and cites ACOG, the CDC, the FDA, the NIH or MotherToBaby. Tap any citation to open the original.

NO BARCODE? READ THE LIST
Store brands and small labels are mostly missing from barcode databases. Point the camera at the ingredient list instead and Preggrs reads it on your phone. The photo is never uploaded and never saved, and this part works with no signal at all.

HERBS, ADAPTOGENS AND SUPPLEMENTS
Ashwagandha, reishi, maca, blue cohosh, matcha, collagen, spirulina and more — the shelf most pregnancy apps have nothing to say about, each with cited US guidance.

AND IF YOU ALREADY HAD IT
Every "avoid" answers the question people actually have at 2am, which is what to do now that you have already eaten it. No other app does this.

A SCORE YOU CAN CHECK
Scanned food gets a 1-100 figure built from published data: the product's Nutri-Score, how processed it is, its additive count, and anything pregnancy guidance flags. Every point taken off is itemised and attributed to a named ingredient, so you can check the number instead of trusting it.

AND IT TELLS YOU WHEN IT DOES NOT KNOW
The score sits under the answer, never instead of it. When a label carries something Preggrs has no published guidance on, it says so and names it, rather than reporting the product as clear.

WEEK BY WEEK
What is happening to the baby, what is happening to you, and the one or two things actually worth doing this week. A size illustration for every week from four to forty. One practical tip a day, chosen for the week you are in.

YOUR APPOINTMENT TIMELINE
Worked out from your due date. NIPT, nuchal translucency, the anatomy scan, glucose screening, Tdap, anti-D, group B strep — with reminders scheduled on your own phone, not on a server.

WARNING SIGNS, ONE TAP AWAY
The list published by ACOG and the NHS, in full and unranked, reachable from every screen. Preggrs does not decide how urgent your symptom is. Every line ends in the same place: contact a real person.

ZEN
A daily affirmation, a 4-7-8 breath pacer, and six sound beds that play offline, with no signal. Plus breathing and prenatal movement videos, clearly marked as other people's work.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
The whole guidance library lives inside the app and works in aeroplane mode. Reading a label never leaves your phone. No advertising and no ad SDKs. No data brokers. No location tracking. Export or delete everything whenever you want.

WHAT PREGGRS IS NOT
It is not your doctor. It does not diagnose, does not prescribe, administers no questionnaire, computes no health score about you, and will never tell you that a symptom can wait. It gathers published US guidance, shows you how good the evidence is, and points you at your own provider.

Built for iPhone. Published in the United States, following ACOG, CDC, FDA and NIH guidance.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-24

READ THE INGREDIENT LIST, NOT JUST THE BARCODE
Store brands and smaller labels are mostly missing from barcode databases. Now you can photograph the ingredient list instead. The text is read on your phone, the photo is never uploaded or saved, and this works with no signal.

HERBS, ADAPTOGENS AND SUPPLEMENTS
27 new entries with cited US guidance — ashwagandha, reishi and other mushroom extracts, maca, rhodiola, blue cohosh, matcha, yerba mate, collagen, spirulina, bee pollen and more.

IT ADMITS WHAT IT DOES NOT KNOW
If a label carries concentrated plant extracts with no published guidance behind them, Preggrs now says so and names them, instead of reporting the product as clear. The 1-100 score stays, and every point it takes off is still itemised and named.

FIXES
A significant scanning fix: raw and unpasteurised ingredients were being matched against their pasteurised entries, so a raw-milk cheese could read as fine. It no longer can. Also repaired five citations that had gone dead after the publisher reorganised their site.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-15
