a pregnancy app
built for two.
A partner pregnancy app lets both parents follow the pregnancy from their own phones — the same week, the same baby, in real time. Elara is a pregnancy app for couples built exactly this way: she tracks her pregnancy privately, and her partner joins with a six-digit code to see a live shared timeline on his own iPhone.
Most pregnancy trackers were designed for one person, with a partner view added as an afterthought. Elara flips that: partner mode is the core feature. He sees the current week, the baby illustration and size, milestones passed, and the next appointment. He gets his own weekly tips — concrete things to actually do, not summaries of her symptoms — plus small tasks and one-tap reactions she feels as a buzz on her phone, wherever she is. And the private parts stay private: her journal, photos, moods and symptoms never leave her device.

what your partner actually sees.
After joining with your code, his Elara shows a deliberately small window into the pregnancy: your current week and the baby illustration for it, the baby's size, the milestones you've passed, and the next visit on your calendar. Each week he also gets a partner tip written for him — take over the cooking while smells are hostile, come to the booking appointment, learn the counterpressure massage — the concrete, useful version of being involved.
What he never sees: your journal, your photos, your mood scores, your symptom logs, anything from Apple Health. Those never leave your device. The full mechanics are on the partner mode page.
why we built partner mode first.
Every pregnancy app knows how to count weeks. What kept coming up in conversations with couples was a quieter problem: he wants to be part of it, she wants him close — but not reading her private notes, and not asking “what week are we on?” for the ninth time. Existing apps solved this badly, either by sharing everything or by sharing nothing.
So we designed the boundary first and the app around it. She keeps a genuinely private tracker; he gets a genuinely live view of the story, with his own role in it. Weekly tips give him something to do; reactions give him a way to say I'm thinking about you both in one tap; the rotating code keeps the link between exactly two people. That boundary is why Elara exists.
common questions.
What is the best pregnancy app for couples?
The best pregnancy app for couples is one designed for two people from the start, not a solo tracker with a partner view bolted on. Elara was built partner-first: both of you see the same week and baby size in real time, the partner gets his own weekly tips and tasks, and he can send reactions she feels as a gentle buzz. Apps like Flo and Pregnancy+ are excellent solo trackers, but partner features are secondary there.
Can my husband track my pregnancy with me?
Yes. In Elara, you generate a six-digit code (it rotates every 30 seconds, like two-factor login), he enters it in his own app, and from that moment his phone shows your current week, the baby illustration, milestones and upcoming visits — updated in real time. He does not need to ask "what week are we on?" again.
Is there a pregnancy app for dads specifically?
Elara gives the dad his own experience rather than a mirror of hers: a weekly partner tip written for him (what to actually do this week), concrete tasks, and the ability to react to the weekly baby drawing. He installs the same app and joins with her code — no separate "dad app" to hunt for.
Is partner mode free in Elara?
The partner side is free — he downloads Elara and joins with her code at no cost. Partner mode itself is part of Elara Premium on her side, which unlocks the shared timeline along with the rest of the app.
Does my partner see my journal or symptoms?
No. Your journal entries, photos, mood tracking, symptom logs and any Apple Health data never leave your device — there is no setting that could share them, because the feature does not exist in the code. Your partner sees only what you choose: the week, the baby illustration, milestones and the next appointment.
Is Elara available on Android?
Not yet. Elara is currently iPhone-only, for both the pregnant partner and the joining partner. Android is on the roadmap but we have no date to promise.
