One-Tap Contraction Timing and Automatic Frequency
Contraction Timer turns each contraction into a structured entry with a simple start-and-stop control. Tap the main button when a contraction begins, then stop it when the sensation ends; the active view shows a live duration while the list keeps the start time, duration, and frequency together. This makes repeat timing easier when attention is divided between breathing, movement, and support.
Each finished entry joins the history and contributes to the averages at the bottom of the screen. Frequency is measured from one contraction start to the next, while duration records how long the individual contraction lasted. A birth partner can operate the same controls, helping maintain a consistent log without manual arithmetic.
Review, Correct, and Annotate Each Entry
The contraction history is more than a read-only list. Opening an entry provides actions to view its details, attach a note, or delete it, while the main menu can add a contraction that was missed in the moment. Existing timing details can also be corrected, which helps keep the record useful after an accidental late tap.
Notes give users space to preserve context alongside the numbers, such as how a contraction felt or what was happening at the time. When an incorrect entry is removed, the app recalculates the relevant frequency values. These controls make it practical to clean up a session before sharing the pattern with a partner or care professional.
Choose the Average Window and Screen Behavior
Average duration and frequency can be calculated across different periods instead of forcing every old entry into the same view. The time-frame selector includes the last 30 minutes, last hour, last two hours, last 24 hours, or all contractions, letting users focus on a recent pattern or review the complete session.
Display controls can keep the screen awake, lock the interface in portrait, and switch the home-screen widget between light and dark backgrounds. A notification option supports ongoing timing when users move away from the main screen. Together, these preferences help the timer remain readable and accessible during repeated checks without adding unnecessary steps to the core workflow.
Export, Import, and Share the Contraction Log
Contraction records can be exported as a CSV file, giving users a portable table of their timing history for backup or later review. The matching import option can restore records from CSV, which is useful when moving data or returning to a saved session. Sharing controls also make it possible to send averages or the broader contraction log through compatible Android apps.
A structured export is easier to read than recreating times from memory, especially when a partner or maternity care professional needs a concise summary. The log remains an informational aid rather than a diagnosis, so users should pair the recorded duration and frequency with the instructions provided by their own care team.
