What's New in Tide

1.2.0

October 20, 2026

Tide now keeps going after the birth! FEEDING • Switch Tide to feeding mode when your baby arrives: one tap on Left or Right times each side, and Tide tells you which side to start on next • Pause for burps without losing your place, switch sides, and see the time on each side • Log bottles: how much, breast milk or formula, and when • Forgot to start the timer? Add a feed afterwards • Today's feeds right on the feeding screen, and a full log with daily totals • Your feeding recap: swipe through how all those hours stack up, and share it • Fix a feed later, including removing a side you left running • Shows your baby's name and their day of life LOCK SCREEN • Start, pause, switch and end feeds from the Lock Screen, without opening the app • Between feeds, the Lock Screen shows when you last fed and which side is next, with one tap to start • Bigger buttons that are easier to hit in the dark TOGETHER • Your partner can time contractions and feeds from their own phone, and you both see the same thing • Turn partner timing off in Settings any time ALSO • Videos in updates show a play button instead of playing on their own • Better contrast in light mode • Lots of fixes to make timing and syncing rock solid

Notification

The contraction timer is so nice to have! It was really nice to have a place anyone can go to look for updates! The only thing that would have helped us would be for the family and friends to get a notification of any update made. We still felt the need to txt out about updates since there was no way for family to know that an update was added unless they continuously checked the link. But overall a great app and love the idea behind it!

Ugh

Why not disclose from the beginning that you need to pay

The best app for contractions

Love it. Love that you can record easily on locked mode and update your family and friends. This app deserves a review and I never take the time to write a review, but this is totally worth it

Response from developer

Thank you SO much for taking the time to write this review - it means so much to me as an individual app creator and helps other moms find the app! I'm so glad you enjoyed using it. The lock screen widget was a favorite part for me too :) I used it so much.

Never wrote reviews but WOW!!!!

Just gave birth yesterday & used this app after coming across it from the creators TikTok. Thought I’d give it a try and wow it was so incredible! All our friends and family loved it and it made sending everyone updates SO much easier!!!!

Response from developer

THANK YOU!! For 1. such a kind review and 2. taking the time to write this. It means so much to me as an individual app creator and helps other moms find the app. Congrats on your latest addition!

Functional, thoughtfully designed, love it

Saw an ad for this app just before going into labor - loved the function of it and wanted to support a woman-owned business. I love that I could easily turn off contraction tracking being sent to friends and family in settings. Multiple friends and family commented that they found it useful from their side to receive updates this way, and it’s certainly easier on the birthing couple to not have to individually update everyone. Contraction timer is thoughtfully designed, love the big button, ability to open up running feed over time, and status updates as you progress.
