A pregnancy app built for both of you. Nooko helps an expecting parent and an approved partner follow the pregnancy journey together, with weekly development, family permissions, partner tips, and tracking tools. WHY COUPLES LOVE NOOKO Partner Experience That Helps An approved partner gets a tailored view with weekly support ideas and access based on the family permissions you choose. Inviting, approving, and viewing partner tips do not require Nooko+. Bump Diary Capture weekly bump photos and view them together. Journal and Memories Create and edit text journal entries without Nooko+. Adding photo attachments requires Nooko+. Approved family members can access shared entries according to their permissions. Baby Development, Week by Week Follow estimated baby size and general development for each pregnancy week. Nooko is informational and does not replace prenatal care. ESSENTIAL TRACKING TOOLS Contraction Timer Time contractions with one tap and view the app's informational 5-1-1 guidance. Contact your maternity team for medical advice. Kick Counter Count movements with the basic counter. Advanced history and trends require Nooko+; contact your maternity team if you have concerns. Appointment Tracker View authorized prenatal appointments without Nooko+. Creating, confirming, rescheduling, completing, hiding, or deleting appointments requires Nooko+ plus pregnancy-edit permission. Weight Tracker (Nooko+) Record weight entries and view trends over time. Trimester Checklists View the included trimester checklists and mark suggested items complete without Nooko+. Creating custom lists or adding custom items requires Nooko+. Notification Settings and Custom Reminders Core smart-notification preferences remain free where the active family member has the required permission. Creating or changing custom weekly, journal, vitamin, or appointment reminders requires Nooko+ plus reminder edit permission. After Nooko+ Expires When Nooko recognizes an expired prior entitlement, saved content remains readable where the feature allows it.
