Contraction Tracker & Timer

For iPhone · Free with in-app purchases

Time your contractions with one tap

Tap when a contraction starts and tap again when it ends. The app records how long each one lasts and how far apart they are, shows your count, average duration and average interval for the last hour, and tells you when your contractions match the 5-1-1 pattern.

  • One big button, easy at 3 a.m.
  • 5-1-1 pattern check
  • Timing is always free

Contraction Tracker & Timer is a timing tool, not a medical device, and it does not give medical advice. Always follow your provider's advice, and get care right away if something feels wrong.

FAQ

Questions

Support

How do you time contractions?

Time each contraction from the moment it starts until it ends (that is its duration), and measure from the start of one contraction to the start of the next (that is the interval). In the app you tap once when it starts and once when it ends; it calculates both for you.

What is the 5-1-1 rule for contractions?

It is a guideline many providers use: contractions about 5 minutes apart, each lasting about 1 minute, for at least 1 hour. Some providers use 4-1-1 or 3-1-1 instead. Follow the instructions your doctor or midwife gave you.

Is the contraction timer free?

Yes. Timing contractions is free and unlimited, including the last-hour summary and the 5-1-1 card. Premium is optional and adds the Live Activity, pattern alerts, charts, full history, reports and export.

Can I use it in the dark or with one hand?

Yes. The start/stop button is large, and the app has a calm dark mode for nighttime.

Does the app tell me when to go to the hospital?

No. It shows your timing and whether it matches a pattern, but it is not medical advice. Always follow your provider's advice about when to call or go in.
