About

Contraction Timer

Features
Read full description

Time contractions with one tap — and know when it may really be time to go. TWO TAPS, NOTHING ELSE Tap the big circle when a contraction begins, tap again when it eases. Durations, intervals and your hourly pattern are worked out for you — no forms, no clutter, designed for one hand in the middle of the night. THE 5-1-1 RULE, WATCHED FOR YOU The guideline midwives give for heading to the hospital: contractions about every 5 minutes, lasting about 1 minute, for about 1 hour. The app quietly watches your pattern and tells you when it matches — with a notification even if your phone is locked. Prefer the stricter 4-1-1 rule? One switch in Settings. KEEPS GOING ON THE LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity shows the running contraction on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — you can end it right there, without unlocking. BUILT FOR REAL LABOR • A big, calm timing button you can't miss • "Since last contraction" always in view • Edit or discard any contraction afterwards • Practice runs (Braxton Hicks) — time them, mark them, keep them separate • Sessions wrap up gently when things go quiet SHARE WITH YOUR MIDWIFE OR DOCTOR Send a session summary as text the moment it ends, or export CSV. Pro adds a clean, printable PDF report for your care team. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything is stored on your iPhone only. No account, no ads, no tracking — nothing ever leaves your device. PRO One simple upgrade — as a one-time purchase or a yearly subscription — unlocks your full history, the PDF report and pattern insights. Timing, the 5-1-1 alert and text sharing are free forever. Contraction Timer records the times you enter by hand. It is not a medical device — always follow the advice of your midwife, doctor or hospital.
