Get Ready: Contraction Timer

Time contractions with one tap and watch the gaps close. Share it live so your partner can follow along, count kicks, and pack the bag a bit at a time.

One tap starts a contraction. One tap ends it. Get Ready does the arithmetic you shouldn't have to do at 3am: how long that one ran, how far apart they're coming, and whether the gaps are closing or just wandering.

TIMING THAT KEEPS UP • Start and stop from the Lock Screen, without unlocking the phone • Frequency measured start to start, the way your provider will ask for it • A live chart of the last hour, so a real pattern looks different from a restless evening • Say how strong that one felt and the chart keeps it

SOMEONE ELSE CAN WATCH • Switch on sharing and your partner sees each contraction as it happens • Useful when they're at work, on the road, or downstairs trying to sleep • Turn it off and the sharing stops there and then • Nobody sees anything unless you switch it on

THE RULE YOUR PROVIDER GAVE YOU • Enter it, whether that's 5-1-1, 4-1-1 or something else • One quiet note when the last hour matches it. Once. It doesn't nag. • Your who-to-call numbers sit one tap from the timer

KICK COUNTS • Count movements with no score and nothing to hit • Today's count sits next to your own usual, so you can see what's normal for you

THE BAG • One list for you, the baby and whoever's coming with you • Pack it across a few weeks instead of one bad evening

Get Ready is a timer and a checklist. It doesn't diagnose labour and it will never tell you when to go in. That decision belongs to you and your midwife or doctor. All this app does is keep an accurate record so you have something real to tell them.

Works offline. Your contraction history, kick counts and bag stay on your phone.
