Quick answer: The best pregnancy app for dads depends on what you want. Dad-specific apps like Daddy Up, Dad Suite and Belay give weekly updates written for partners. If you'd rather follow your partner's own tracker, Ovia and Flo offer partner sharing. Momi has a Dad's diary alongside Mom's, on the same phone. All are free to download.
Disclosure: Momi is our app. We've included it because it's relevant and been clear about its limits. No app paid to be included. We don't list ratings or download counts because they change daily.
Partners want to know what's happening each week, how to help and what to do on the day. Here's how the options compare. For the wider market, see best pregnancy apps.
What dads and partners need from an app
ACOG suggests partners support pregnancy by learning about it, going to prenatal appointments and helping during labor and after the birth. A good app helps with all three:
- Weekly updates on the baby and on how your partner may be feeling
- The due date and current week, always at hand
- Checklists: classes, car seat, hospital bag, the route in
- Labor tools: a contraction timer that's easy to use one-handed
- Shared or linked tracking, so you're not asking "what week is it again?"
- Privacy you're comfortable with, since pregnancy data is sensitive

The options, briefly
Dad-specific apps
- Daddy Up describes itself as a trail guide for expecting dads, with weekly updates, a journal, trimester checklists, "rugged" baby-size comparisons and a contraction timer. Daddy Up+ is an in-app purchase.
- Dad Suite covers trying to conceive, pregnancy and the first year, with weekly guidance, action items for supporting your partner, AI answers, kick and contraction logs and a baby tracker. Premium is a monthly or annual subscription. iPhone only.
- Belay is built for dads and partners, with weekly briefings, an AI guide and a clear job on the big day. It says its AI gives educational information, not medical advice. iPhone only.
Trade-off: a dad app is separate from your partner's app, so you're each following your own version of the pregnancy.
Partner sharing in mainstream trackers
- Ovia offers Friends & Family Sharing.
- Flo has Flo for Partners; in-depth pregnancy content sits in Flo Premium.
- Pregnancy+ can be personalised so a partner or family member can follow along.
Trade-off: you see what your partner's app shows, which is usually written for the pregnant parent.
Momi's Dad's diary
Momi has a Mom's diary and a Dad's diary in the same app, so a partner has their own place to write. Both are on one phone; there's no cross-device sharing yet. Momi also has week-by-week updates, baby size, appointments, a kick counter and a contraction timer. See pregnancy journal for mom and dad for prompts.
A note on AI features
Some newer dad apps include AI assistants. They can be handy for quick questions, but they can't examine your partner or know her history. For anything medical, such as bleeding, pain, reduced movements, or whether to go in during labor, call your midwife, doctor or maternity unit.
Privacy: what to check
Before you both sign up, open each app's App Privacy section on the App Store or Data safety on Google Play. Look for "Data Used to Track You", which means data may be used to track you across other companies' apps and websites. Momi's own label includes this for third-party advertising; we explain it in pregnancy apps that don't share data.
Looking after yourself, too
ACOG says pregnancy and parenthood are huge life changes, and it's common for both partners to have ups and downs. The NHS says fathers and partners can also get depression after a baby is born. If you're struggling, talk to your GP or doctor.
How Momi helps
Momi lets you follow the pregnancy together: week-by-week updates with baby size, a Dad's diary for your own entries, the bump photo journal, visits with reminders, and a kick counter and contraction timer that partners often take charge of. It's free with ads; Premium adds a timeline, a PDF ebook and no ads.
Download Momi free on the App Store or Google Play. Free with ads; optional Premium.

FAQ
Is there a pregnancy app just for dads?
Yes. On the US App Store in October 2026, dad-focused apps included Daddy Up, Dad Suite and Belay. They offer weekly updates written for partners, checklists and, in some cases, contraction or kick logs. Dad Suite and Belay were listed for iPhone only.
What is the best free pregnancy app for dads?
Daddy Up, Dad Suite and Belay are all free to download; Daddy Up and Dad Suite offer paid upgrades. If you'd rather follow your partner's own app, Ovia's Friends & Family Sharing and Flo for Partners let you join from your phone. Momi is free with ads and has a Dad's diary on the same phone.
Can my partner and I share one pregnancy app?
Some apps support this. Ovia has Friends & Family Sharing, Flo has Flo for Partners and Pregnancy+ can be personalised for a partner. Momi has a separate Dad's diary, but both diaries live on one phone and don't sync between devices yet.
What should dads track during pregnancy?
Appointment dates, the due date and current week, what's happening for the baby and your partner, questions for the midwife, the hospital route and bag, and, near the end, contraction timings. Many dads take on the contraction timer during labor.
Do partners need support during pregnancy too?
Yes. ACOG says pregnancy is a big change for both partners and ups and downs are common. The NHS says fathers and partners can also have depression after a baby is born. If you're struggling, talk to your doctor.
