QuietTap is a haptic metronome for your wrist. It delivers a steady, rhythmic pulse at a pace you choose — giving your nervous system something constant to hold onto when everything else feels uncertain. A steady haptic pulse gives your body something to lock onto, naturally slowing your breath and heart rate. Unlike audio tools, QuietTap works silently through touch — on your wrist or in your hand, wherever you are. Quick start presets for Calm, Focus, Energise and Sleep let you start with one tap. After your session, see how your heart rate changed over time. No sound. No notifications. Just rhythm.

About

Dad's Guide

Features
Read full description

Dad's Guide is the Pregnancy App Built for Dads. When the founder was expecting his first child, he couldn't find an app that spoke purely to fathers. Most of the information was either scattered across different websites and articles or tailored almost entirely towards mothers, with nothing bringing together what dads actually needed in one place. So he built the app he wished he'd had. A calm, practical companion built to help dads understand what's happening, what comes next, and how to support their partner through every stage of pregnancy. It brings together guidance from the NHS and other trusted sources into one simple, easy-to-use app. From the first positive test to the day you meet your baby, everything you need is in one place. Inside the app: • Week by week - Follow your baby's development and understand what your partner is experiencing each week. • Your journey - A simple visual timeline so you always know where you are in the pregnancy. • Labour guide - Learn the signs of labour, the different stages, pain relief options and what to expect. • Contraction timer - Track contractions and know when it's time to contact your maternity unit. • Hospital bag checklists - Editable checklists for mother, baby and you, so nothing gets left behind. • Birth plan notes - Keep important preferences and information together for when it matters most. No clutter. No overwhelm. Just the information you need, when you need it. Nine months, one chance. Be prepared. Be the dad your family can rely on. Built on NHS guidance and leading UK pregnancy charities. Dad's Guide supports, but does not replace, the advice of your midwife or healthcare team. Want to know more?
