About Waves: Labor Contraction Timer
One button. That's the whole app. When contractions start, you don't want menus, accounts, or ads. Waves is a single calm screen: tap when a contraction starts, tap when it eases. That's it. Waves quietly works out the pattern for you — how far apart, how long, and whether things are picking up — and tells you in one plain sentence: "About every 5 minutes, lasting around 60 seconds — holding steady." And when your pattern reaches the 5-1-1 point (contractions about 5 minutes apart, lasting about a minute, for about an hour), the whole app warms to gold and says it clearly: based on this pattern, it may be time. WHAT'S INSIDE • One giant button — start and stop with a tap, distinct haptics for each, no looking required • A pattern brain — rolling analysis of interval, duration, and trend, phrased as one calm sentence • The gold moment — automatic 5-1-1 detection, with a clear explanation of why and what to do next • Intensity dots — rate each wave 1–3 with a single tap • Share summary — hand the exact numbers to your midwife, doula, or the hospital in one message • Past sessions — every run archived with its full timeline • Screen stays awake — no fumbling with a locked phone mid-contraction • Dark by design — easy on your eyes at 3 a.m. • Words that keep you going — rotating encouragement between waves PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking, no ads. Ever. Waves is not a medical device and doesn't replace advice from your midwife or doctor. When in doubt — call. The app tells you the red flags to watch for. You've got this, mama. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
