A calm space for your pregnancy. Lulani walks with you week by week, from the first positive test to the day you meet your baby - with no ads, no account, and no subscription draining you for nine months. YOUR WEEK, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE How big your baby is right now. What is changing for them, and for you. One small thing worth doing this week, and a note to settle your mind. Enter your due date, or let the app work it out from your last period - then correct it when your ultrasound gives a better one. ALWAYS FREE • Kick counter with reminders, built on the count-to-ten method • Contraction timer - tap to start, tap to stop, watch the pattern build • Private journal with photos, for the moments you will want back • Appointments, with everything you meant to ask in one place • Checklists: hospital bag, documents, baby essentials, trimester by trimester • Weight log and a timeline of the whole pregnancy • The warning signs for every week - safety content is never behind a paywall PEACE OF MIND (PREMIUM) • The full weekly guide, all 40 weeks • "Is this normal?" - a symptom guide that separates common from call-someone • Contraction insight: when the pattern says it is time to go • The right questions for every appointment, ready to take with you • A birth plan you build in the app and print or share as a PDF • Export your journal and appointment notes as PDFs One purchase. Yours for the whole pregnancy and after. Nothing renews, nothing to cancel. WRITTEN FOR WHERE YOU LIVE, NOT TRANSLATED US prenatal visit schedules, US screening choices, US paperwork. The birth plan follows the order labor actually happens in, and the hospital bag list knows what an American hospital does and does not hand you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account, because there is no server. Your due date, your journal, your photos, your symptoms - all of it stays on your iPhone. We cannot read it and we cannot sell it, because we never have it. The app is paid for by the people who buy it, not by advertisers. FOR PARTNERS TOO Tell the app whether you are expecting, supporting someone you love, or doing this together, and it changes how it speaks to you. Lulani gives you information and a private place to keep your own records. It does not replace your doctor or midwife - if something worries you, call them.

When a contraction starts, you need one clear button. Cadence is a simple contraction timer and tracker with a baby kick counter, readable history and a calm design for one-handed use. TIME CONTRACTIONS SIMPLY Tap to start, tap to stop. See each contraction's duration and the interval from the start of one contraction to the start of the next. Add an optional intensity rating from 1 to 10. Edit times, add a missed contraction and keep your sessions together in History. COUNT BABY MOVEMENTS Record each kick with a large button and see how much time has passed since the first movement. Review your previous kick-counting sessions whenever you need them. YOUR TIMING, AT A GLANCE Choose a 5-1-1, 4-1-1 or 3-1-1 timing pattern, customize it or turn it off. Cadence shows when your recorded timing matches your choice. It does not decide whether you are in labor. MADE FOR THE MOMENT • Large controls, clear type and light and dark themes. • Lock Screen Live Activity and Home Screen widgets. • Offline timing and records saved on your iPhone. • No account required. Contraction timing, kick counting and history are free. SHARE WITH CADENCE PRO Export your contraction sessions as PDF or CSV to share with your doctor or midwife.
