Vera
Vera tracks your contractions, guides your breathing, and tells you exactly when it's time to go — so you can stay present for what matters.
Download on the App Store →Vera was designed for one of the most intense moments of your life — so everything is simple, readable, and calm enough to use between contractions.
One tap begins timing. Vera's breathing animation guides you through each contraction so you're never just watching a clock.
Vera tracks frequency, duration, and intensity. It detects the difference between early labor, active labor, and Braxton Hicks.
When the 5-1-1 pattern is reached, Vera tells you clearly. No guessing, no Googling mid-contraction. Just a calm, clear signal.
From the first irregular twinges to the moment you walk through the hospital doors — Vera stays useful at every stage.
A gentle pulsing orb guides your breath through each contraction. You focus on your body; Vera handles the timing.
Vera distinguishes early pre-labor patterns from active labor, so you know whether to rest or start getting ready.
12 gentle affirmations appear between contractions. Small reminders that you are strong, capable, and not alone.
Rate each contraction 1–5 to give your care team a richer picture of how your labor is progressing.
Adjusts guidance for medically-assisted labor, where contraction patterns differ from spontaneous labor.
Export your full contraction history to share with your midwife, doula, or OB. A complete picture in one tap.
Everything first-time parents ask — before the contractions start.
Start timing when contractions become regular and noticeable — usually every 15–20 minutes. Vera tracks frequency, duration, and intensity automatically so you can stay focused on breathing through them.
The general guideline is the 5-1-1 rule: contractions every 5 minutes, lasting 1 minute, for 1 hour. Vera detects this pattern and gives you a clear signal when it's time to call your provider or head in.
5 minutes apart, 1 minute long, for 1 hour — the pattern most providers use to confirm active labor. Vera monitors this automatically and alerts you the moment the threshold is reached.
Vera includes prodromal and pre-labor detection that identifies irregular practice contractions versus progressive labor patterns. It won't replace your provider's judgment, but it gives you a much clearer picture of what your body is doing.
Yes. Vera has a dedicated Induction Mode that adjusts guidance for medically-assisted labor, where patterns can differ significantly from spontaneous labor.
