Fatherhood
doesn't come
with a manual.
So we built one.
Track the pregnancy, support her through it, and walk into the first five years ready instead of guessing.
Free on the App Store · iPhone
Your role
Nine months
to show up ready.
Know what's happening each week, what she's going through, and what your job actually is. Walk into every appointment prepared. Handle the moments that count without reaching for Google. Keep going through the first year, not just to the delivery room.
The dads who worry less aren't the ones who got lucky. They're the ones who knew what to expect.
What's inside
Safety lookup
Know in
ten seconds.
Pregnancy comes with a long list of things that are probably fine and occasionally not. Standing in the grocery aisle at 8pm wondering about sushi isn't the time to scroll through forums. DadKit gives you a fast, clear answer — food, medications, activities.
No opinion, no guesswork. Just the answer, so you can move on.
General guidance, not medical advice. Check with your provider for the final call.
Contraction timer · Kick counter
Ready
when it starts.
Tap once to start. Tap again to stop. The 5-1-1 guideline is always on screen so you don't have to remember it under pressure. You'll open this tool once when it matters, and it'll do exactly what you need.
The kick counter works the same way. Ten movements in under two hours is what you're after. DadKit times it and tells you what to do if the numbers look off.
Appointment calendar
Walk in knowing
what's coming.
The prenatal calendar shows every visit — what it involves, what to expect, and what questions are worth asking before you walk in. No more asking which scan this is in the parking lot.
Add your own appointments, track notes from each one, and see the full arc from the first trimester to the delivery room and beyond.
First year
The delivery room
is not the
finish line.
Most apps end when the baby arrives. That's exactly when things get hard. DadKit keeps going — feeding log, newborn safety reference, partner check-ins, and first-year library content.
The moment it gets real is when you need the app most.
How it works
Simple on purpose.
Enter the due date.
That's the only number DadKit needs. Everything adjusts to where you are — the weekly feed, the timeline, the tools.
Get the weekly feed.
Every week: what's developing, what to expect, and what your actual job is right now.
Use the tools when you need them.
Safety lookup, contraction timer, kick counter, appointment calendar — everything is one tap away when it matters, including at 2am.
Stay in it after the baby arrives.
Feeding log, newborn safety, partner check-ins, first-year content. The app keeps going through the part that's actually the hardest.
Where we're at
Built by a first-time dad.
I'm Chace. I built DadKit while my wife was pregnant with our first because every pregnancy app I downloaded was built for her — which makes sense, she was doing the hard part — but there was nothing for the person standing next to her trying to figure out what was actually happening.
It started as a question tracker I made for myself so I'd actually know what we were walking into at prenatal appointments. Then a safety lookup when I didn't want to text her midwife at 9pm. Then a contraction timer I could run one-handed in the dark.
DadKit is what I needed and couldn't find. The tools that matter — contraction timer, kick counter, weekly updates — stay free. Try it for a week and see if it's worth keeping.
FAQ
Quick answers.
Is the safety lookup medically reviewed?
Yes. The data is sourced from leading medical references including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and similar authoritative sources. It's the same guidance your provider would give you — not a replacement for them, but a fast way to get to a reliable answer without a phone call.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. We're focused on iOS right now — building one platform well before stretching to two. Android is on the roadmap, but there's no timeline to share yet.
What's the difference between free and DadKit+?
The core tools — contraction timer, kick counter, safety lookup, weekly updates, appointment calendar, birth plan, feeding log, go-bag — are free and stay free. DadKit+ adds the full library, partner check-ins, insights from your logs, baby names, extra size comparison packs, growth tracking, and journal prompts.
Does DadKit work even if my partner is using a different app?
Yes. DadKit tracks independently. It doesn't connect to anything else.
Does the app continue after the baby is born?
Yes. There's a newborn safety reference, feeding log, partner check-ins, and library content covering the first year. You don't need a different app when things get hard.
