About Day One Dad
Nobody hands dads a manual on day one. Day One Dad is the first-year toolkit built specifically for new fathers. Becoming a dad is one of the biggest transitions of your life—and most fathers are sent home with a car seat and a lot of unanswered questions. Day One Dad helps you move through your baby’s first year with practical, personalized support for your baby, your partner, and you. WHAT YOU GET WITH A SUBSCRIPTION DAILY GUIDANCE FOR YOUR BABY’S STAGE Open the app each day for clear guidance matched to your baby’s exact age—what may be happening now, what to expect, and one practical way to show up. No endless feed. No overload. Just what matters today. A 24/7 AI COACH Questions about soothing, sleep, feeding, or what to try next? Ask Coach for practical guidance shaped by your baby’s age and family profile. It is always available, never judgmental, and designed to help you find the next step. A FIRST-YEAR PLAYBOOK Explore stage-based guides covering sleep, feeding, soothing, bonding, partner support, dad wellbeing, and when to contact a professional. Each guide gives you the big picture and something useful to try today. DAD HQ—SUPPORT FOR YOU, TOO Check in on your energy, stress, patience, connection, and sleep. Get a personalized Dad Plan, own real responsibilities at home, build confidence through small wins, and reset safely when the pressure spikes. BUILT FOR DADS, START TO FINISH No cutesy tone. No treating dad like the backup. Day One Dad speaks directly to fathers as capable, primary parents. Day One Dad is a subscription app. Start your 7-day free trial, then continue with a monthly or annual plan—and show up with more confidence, from day one. Day One Dad provides general educational and supportive information. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Day One Dad requires an auto-renewing subscription for full access. Choose Monthly ($8.99/month) or Annual ($79.99/year), each including a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID after the free trial ends. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the trial or current billing period, the selected plan renews automatically. Manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple account settings. Privacy Policy: https://dayonedad.app/privacy Terms of Service: https://dayonedad.app/terms
