Postpartum Tracker is the recovery companion and postpartum journal built for mothers, not babies, with your postpartum wellness at the center. From day one through the fourth trimester and beyond, track your mood, healing, breastfeeding, sleep, hormones, and screen for postpartum depression and anxiety in one calm, organized space. The postpartum window is the most under-served stretch of a mother's life. Every other app pivots to baby tracking once the baby arrives. Postpartum Tracker keeps you, the mother, at the center. WHAT YOU CAN LOG - Mood and mental health: daily check-ins, baby blues vs PPD signals, anxiety, sleep - Postpartum healing: lochia (bleeding) days, C-section incision check, perineal recovery, engorgement - Breastfeeding and pumping: feed times, side, duration, latch quality, pump output, bottle volume - Hormones and physical symptoms: night sweats, hair loss, hot flashes, libido, period return - Sleep: hours slept, naps, wake-ups, sleep debt - Medications: postpartum-safe meds, prenatal vitamins, iron, lactation aids, mental-health meds - Daily symptoms: fatigue, brain fog, headaches, appetite, body aches, pelvic floor PPD AND PPA SCREENING (EDINBURGH POSTNATAL DEPRESSION SCALE) - Built-in EPDS self-screen, prompted every 2 weeks for the first 12 weeks, then monthly - Public-domain validated instrument (Cox 1987) - Clear next-step guidance if your score suggests reaching out to your OB or midwife - This is a SELF-SCREENING tool, not a diagnosis INSIGHTS AND CHARTS - Trend charts across 7, 30, 90 and 365 day windows for mood, sleep, healing, and feeding - See your recovery week by week, not day by day - Export your full log as a PDF for your 6-week checkup, OB, lactation consultant, or therapist POSTPARTUM RECOVERY PLAN - Personalized care plan generated after onboarding: daily check-ins, weekly mood screens, monthly milestones - Time-sensitive reminders so the meds, the screening, the pump session are never missed - Calendar view with completed, missed and upcoming tasks APPLE ECOSYSTEM - Apple Watch quick check-ins for mood and feed times - Home screen widget for today's tasks and your latest mood - iPhone and iPad with optional encrypted iCloud sync CAREGIVER AND PARTNER MODE - Share your log with your partner, doula, or family - Partner can co-track and receive PPD red-flag notifications PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data stays on your device. No forced account. Optional iCloud sync is private to you. Nothing is sold, nothing is shared. BUILT FOR - New mothers in weeks 0 through 52 postpartum - First-time moms and experienced moms - Mothers recovering from a C-section, vaginal birth, or birth trauma - Mothers at higher PPD/PPA risk who want a low-friction self-screen - Partners and doulas co-supporting a new mom WHY POSTPARTUM TRACKER You are not failing. You are healing. This is harder than anyone told you. Postpartum Tracker is built around that truth. The mood swings, the bleeding that won't stop, the latch that won't work, the sleep that isn't there, the version of you that you can't find. Every screen reflects what new moms actually live through, in language that does not pretend. IMPORTANT This app is for informational tracking only. It is not medical advice and does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale included is a validated self-screening instrument, not a diagnosis. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional, including your OB, midwife, lactation consultant, or mental-health provider, before starting, changing or stopping any treatment, medication or care plan.

Cuddle is a companion app for the postpartum journey : built for the exhausting, tender, overwhelming, beautiful weeks and months after bringing your baby home. You're not meant to do this alone, and Cuddle is built around that idea. TAG TEAM Hand off caregiving duty with your partner or a caregiver with a tap. Cuddle tracks hours on duty, interruptions, and fatigue , so it's easier to see when someone needs a break, and easier to actually ask for one. TRACK Log feeds, diapers, and sleep in seconds. Cuddle learns your baby's patterns over time and gives you a gentle heads-up before the next feed is likely due. TALK TO CUDDLE A warm, always-available companion for the 3am thoughts, the "is this normal?" questions, and everything in between. Cuddle listens, and can even log a feed or check your Tag Team status right from the conversation. NEARBY Let other moms know you're up too - with your location intentionally blurred for privacy, never exact. MEETUPS Find real local parks, trails, and hangout spots for a baby date, a mom date, or a walk with your stroller automatically matched to your actual neighborhood. CIRCLE A community feed to share, vent, or read what other moms are going through, including opt-in Cultural Circles to connect with moms who share your background. RECOVERY Gentle daily check-ins on your own healing, not just the baby's with clear guidance on when a symptom is worth calling your provider about. DINNER BELL Set up a meal train and share one simple link - no one needs the app to sign up and bring you dinner. MAMA'S CALENDAR Scan an invitation or appointment card and Cuddle pulls out the date, time, and location for you automatically. POSTPARTUM SUPPORT A real, verified directory of local lactation consultants, postpartum doulas, pelvic floor physical therapists, and postpartum mental health specialists - one tap to call or visit their site. NIGHT LIGHT & BREATHING A calm, quiet space for 2am, with guided breathing exercises when you need to reset. Cuddle never diagnoses or replaces your healthcare provider - it's here to support you between appointments, in the small moments, and on the hard nights. Your privacy matters. Location features are always optional and intentionally imprecise. You can delete all of your data at any time, right in the app.
