It is free for everyone. BREATHING GUIDE AND NIGHT MODE Follow a slow breathing circle with gentle haptics during a contraction. A dim, red-tinted Night mode keeps the screen easy on the eyes in the middle of the night. KICK COUNTER Count your baby's movements and see how long it takes to reach 10.
