About

Little Waves Contraction Timer

Features
Read full description

Time contractions with one tap. Hand the pattern to your healthcare professional. That is the whole app. One giant button, made for one hand in the dark. Start when a contraction starts, stop when it stops. The app shows how long, how far apart, and how the last hour looks, in plain words. No alarms, no instructions, no drama. This is a record, not medical advice. You and your healthcare professional decide what it means. We just keep the record straight. Your timing stays on the Lock Screen, so you can see it without unlocking your device. And it lives on your wrist: one big button on Apple Watch, for when the phone is across the room. When it is time, share the whole story: a tidy summary as a PDF your healthcare professional can actually read, or the raw data as a CSV. Every entry, always, and never behind a purchase. Your records are kept until you delete them. Your record survives locking, restarting, and force-quitting your device, because we built it so it cannot forget. Why "Little Waves"? Because every wave brings your little one closer. Free. Completely. Nothing to buy, and no ads, because nobody should meet an advert at 3am between contractions. Nothing leaves home. No ads. No accounts. No tracking. Ever. Everything stays on your own devices. We never see your data. It works with the internet switched off. Your labor is yours. From Little Nuno Studios: small, beautiful apps, made properly.
