Pregnancy app for dads and partners, in sync on two phones
Best for couples who want both phones on the same page: the dad, co-mother or partner gets a view of their own, on their own phone, from the first weeks of pregnancy to the first months. Most pregnancy apps talk only to the person who is pregnant. And if you are doing this on your own, nothing waits for a partner who is not there.
In short
- Each of you signs in on your own phone, in your own language, and sees the same tasks, bags, Book and baby log.
- In pregnancy the partner’s weekly card is about supporting the pregnant parent, with NHS and NICE sources; hers is about her own body.
- Every task belongs to one of you or to both, so the load is visible to both.
- On your own? Syncry works for one parent too, with no empty slots for a partner.
What does the partner see during pregnancy?
Each week, a card on what the pregnant parent is going through and what helps, with its NHS or NICE source. A bag of their own in the hospital bags. The birth plan, answered together as one shared set of answers, with a short part just for the partner: five things to do on the day.
And at the birth and in the first weeks?
As labour comes closer, the home cards follow the stage you are in. After the birth each of you logs feeds, sleep and nappies on your own phone and sees the other’s entries as they happen, with a short handover of what happened while you slept. Notes on recovering from the birth go to the parent who gave birth.
How is the load shared?
In the Plan, each task is yours, your partner’s or both of yours, and you can look at one person’s list at a time. Each of you writes your own half of every week in the Book. Nobody has to be the one who remembers everything.
Does it work for a single parent?
Yes. On your own, the Plan has no person filters and every task is simply yours, the Book is written in your voice, and Iris says “I”, not “we”. Nothing is greyed out waiting for a second parent.
What it does not do
- It does not give medical advice to either of you. The support cards say what the official pages say, and point to the midwife.
- It does not show one parent’s private notes or private Iris conversations to the other.
- It does not decide who does what. You choose, and you can change it.
Questions parents ask
Does my partner need their own account?
Yes, and that is the point. One of you starts the family and invites the other from the app. Each then signs in on their own phone and gets their own view and language.
Can we use it in two different languages?
Yes. Each of you picks your own language among the six. What you write yourselves stays in the language you wrote it in.
We are two mums. Does it fit us?
Yes. The partner can be a father or a co-mother, and the app names and addresses each of you accordingly.
Is there a pregnancy app for dads and partners?
Yes. Syncry is built for both parents: the dad, co-mother or partner has an account and a view of their own, with a weekly card on how to support the pregnant parent (each with its NHS or NICE source), a hospital bag of their own and their own tasks. A parent on their own is just as welcome: the app works for one.
Can two phones share one pregnancy app?
Yes. One of you creates the family and invites the other from the app, and each signs in on their own phone. The tasks, the bags and the Book are the same on both, and after the birth a feed, a sleep or a nappy logged on one phone appears on the other as it happens. Private notes and private Iris conversations stay private.
What does it cost?
One subscription for the whole family, Iris included: £4.99 a month or £49.99 a year. The first month is free, and you can cancel at any time.
Bring your partner in
Start your family with your due date, then invite your partner: each of you on your own phone, the same tasks, bags and Book, live. Or keep it just yours.
