Clear History

Every contraction is recorded with duration and frequency, presented clearly for reviewing with your care team.

Seamlessly switch between English and Spanish with one tap. No settings menu needed.

Light & Dark Themes

Follows your device by default, with an instant light or dark theme switch whenever you need it.

Private by Design

No ads and no account required for the timer. Personal Apple history stays in your private iCloud; browser history stays on this device.

The timer always works offline. Personal iCloud Sync keeps your own Apple devices in step for free; Live Partner Sync lets up to five people coordinate instantly.

Free

Personal iCloud Sync

Best for your own Apple devices

  • Private history across iPhone, iPad, and Mac
  • Mac menu-bar timer and widgets included
  • No account or pairing code needed
  • Timer keeps working offline

iCloud updates automatically on its own schedule, so changes may not appear instantly.

Optional subscription

Live Partner Sync

Best for partners, doulas, and family

  • Start, stop, edit, and see status in real time
  • Connect up to five devices
  • Works across Apple accounts and Android
  • Catches up safely after reconnecting

Your subscription supports the secure real-time relay. Personal iCloud data never passes through it.

The local timer and 5-1-1 guidance never depend on a subscription or a network connection. Live Partner Sync will be offered in the native apps, with the current price shown before purchase.

The 5-1-1 Rule

Recognize the 5-1-1 pattern

5
minutes apart

Contractions starting every 5 minutes or less, measured from the start of one to the start of the next.

1
minute long

Each contraction lasts approximately one minute in duration, a sign of strong, active labor.

1
hour sustained

This pattern has continued consistently for at least one full hour. Between Contractions tracks it for you automatically.

The 5-1-1 rule is general guidance, not medical advice. Follow your care team’s plan and contact them sooner whenever you are concerned. Labor-sign guidance from ACOG

Guides & journal
