Tempo is a calm, beautifully designed contraction timer built for expectant mothers during labor. Tap once when a contraction starts. Tap again when it ends. Tempo tracks everything — duration, frequency, and patterns — so you can focus on breathing instead of mental math. SMART LABOR DETECTION Tempo automatically analyzes your contraction data against clinical guidelines, including the 5-1-1 rule (contractions every 5 minutes, lasting 1 minute, for 1 hour), to tell you when it may be time to head to the hospital. THREE STAGES, CLEARLY COMMUNICATED • Pre-Labor — Contractions are irregular. Keep tracking. • Early Labor — Contractions are becoming regular. Rest and prepare. • Active Labor — The 5-1-1 pattern is detected. Time to go. EVERYTHING YOU NEED • One-tap start/stop timer with live elapsed time • Average duration and frequency stats updated in real time • Full contraction history with timestamps • Edit or delete any recorded contraction • Screen stays awake while you're tracking • No account. No subscription. No ads. Tempo is simple by design — because when labor starts, the last thing you need is a complicated app.
