Contraction Timer by Nestling

Free contraction timer for labor — no paywall, no ads. One tap on your wrist or Lock Screen, built for the moment your bandwidth is lowest.

Contraction Timer by Nestling is the labor timer built for the moment your bandwidth is lowest. One tap to start, one to stop — on your iPhone, your Lock Screen, or your wrist. We handle the math, the gaps, and the durations so you can focus on labor. Completely free — no paywall, no ads, no subscription.

TIME CONTRACTIONS WITHOUT UNLOCKING YOUR PHONE • Apple Watch app — start and stop contractions hands-free, even from the bath • Live Activity + Lock Screen — glance at the timer without unlocking • Ask Siri to start a contraction — completely hands-free timing • Huge one-tap buttons designed for active labor, not fiddly menus

KNOW WHERE YOU ARE • Automatic duration, gap, and median tracking for every contraction • 5-1-1 timing-pattern awareness — get a clear, calm note when your contractions are about 5 minutes apart, lasting about 1 minute, for about an hour • Intensity logging with a single tap after each contraction • Session history — review your durations and patterns

WHEN YOUR BABY ARRIVES • Tap “Baby arrived” to close out your session — and optionally save it to Apple Health • Continue into Nestling, the calm baby tracker, so your story keeps going from your last contraction to your baby’s first feeding: feeds, sleep, diapers, and growth in one place

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • iCloud sync — switch phones mid-pregnancy without losing a single contraction • No account required. No ads. No subscription. Your timing data is never sold.

IMPORTANT Contraction Timer by Nestling is a timing tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, detect, or predict labor, and it does not detect emergencies or provide medical advice. Timing patterns such as 5-1-1 are informational only — only your healthcare provider can tell you when to seek care. In any emergency, call your provider or 911 immediately.

From the makers of Nestling, the calm baby tracker. When baby arrives, your story continues there.
