## What is Waves?

One button. That's the whole app.

When contractions start, you don't want menus, accounts, or ads. Waves is a single calm screen: tap when a contraction starts, tap when it eases. That's it.

Waves quietly works out the pattern for you — how far apart, how long, and whether things are picking up — and tells you in one plain sentence: "About every 5 minutes, lasting around 60 seconds — holding steady."

And when your pattern reaches the 5-1-1 point (contractions about 5 minutes apart, lasting about a minute, for about an hour), the whole app warms to gold and says it clearly: based on this pattern, it may be time.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• One giant button — start and stop with a tap, distinct haptics for each, no looking required
• A pattern brain — rolling analysis of interval, duration, and trend, phrased as one calm sentence
• The gold moment — automatic 5-1-1 detection, with a clear explanation of why and what to do next
• Intensity dots — rate each wave 1–3 with a single tap
• Share summary — hand the exact numbers to your midwife, doula, or the hospital in one message
• Past sessions — every run archived with its full timeline
• Screen stays awake — no fumbling with a locked phone mid-contraction
• Dark by design — easy on your eyes at 3 a.m.
• Words that keep you going — rotating encouragement between waves

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Everything stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking, no ads. Ever.

Waves is not a medical device and doesn't replace advice from your midwife or doctor. When in doubt — call. The app tells you the red flags to watch for.

You've got this, mama.
