About

Lull

Lull is the calm contraction timer. One tap per wave, and a clear answer to the only question that matters: is it time? BUILT FOR 3AM The whole lower screen is the button. Tap when a wave starts, tap when it ends. Eyes closed is fine. The breathing ring swells at a slow breath pace while you ride the wave. IS IT TIME? Lull watches your pattern against the common 5-1-1 rule and says it in plain words: about 5 minutes apart, lasting about 1 minute, holding for 1 hour. No charts to interpret, no false alarms. Your midwife's advice always wins, and her number stays one tap away. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity keeps the current wave and your pattern visible without unlocking your phone. The clock ticks on its own, all night long. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your waves and your midwife's number never leave your phone. ONE FAIR PRICE Labor lasts weeks, not years. One purchase unlocks everything forever. No subscription, because labor is not a rental.
