Waves: Contraction Timer
& Kick Counter
The calm, honest labor toolkit for the last weeks of pregnancy — built to be used half-asleep, one-handed, at 3am.
Coming to the App Store — in 14 languages.
What it does
⏱ One-tap contraction timer
One giant button. Tap when a wave starts, tap when it ends. Duration and interval are logged automatically — and you can edit or delete any entry, free.
📈 Your pattern, in plain language
"Last hour: every 6 min, lasting ~55s" — compared to the classic 5-1-1 rule, with a threshold you agree with your midwife. Information, never commands.
💗 Kick counts from week 28
Count to 10 movements daily, keep the streak, get a gentle reminder. The quiet habit your midwife will ask about.
🤝 Built for partners too
Giant tap targets and neutral wording — during labor the timer is often in the partner's hands. Export the log for the midwife in one tap.
Questions
Is it really free?
The timer, editing, the pattern view and kick counting are free forever — no ads, no trial, no card. A one-time purchase adds calm extras (hospital-bag checklist, guided breathing, the partner's guide). Never a weekly subscription.
Does it tell me when to go to the hospital?
No — and that's deliberate. Waves shows your pattern in plain language against the threshold you set with your midwife or doctor. The decision stays with you and them.
What about my data?
Your contractions, kick counts and due date never leave your device. No account, no tracking, nothing sold. See the privacy policy.
