One price, paid once. Homestretch is now a single one-time purchase that covers your household through pregnancy and baby's first year. No subscription, nothing renews. If you already subscribe, nothing changes for you.

Your weekly note now says what's close. It names the item and the week ("Crib and infant car seat are up this week"), and when the runway after it is clear, it says so: "Then nothing until week 28." One note a week, never two about the same decision. Each note opens with how big baby is this week. The same line now sits under your due date on Home, if you're curious.

Setup ends on what's next. Your first researched decision is yours to keep, and the next one in line is right under it, with the week it's due and why it matters. Ask us to remind you and we will, researched and ready. Research holds up on a bad connection: if your result finished while your phone lost the reply, it lands on your plan instead of asking you to try again. Paying once now unlocks everything the moment you do.

Try everything for a week. Monthly now starts with 7 days free, and every new household gets a full week of the plan (checking off tasks, deciding, milestones) before anything asks for a purchase. Setup ends on what's yours right now: your first researched decision, two things you've probably already handled, and the one thing to do next. Then the plan watches the rest and tells you when one turns.

Joining your partner's plan is clearer: the screen now tells you exactly what's left to do — sign in, or enter the code — and shows progress while sign-in finishes. Type the code and step 2 checks off.

Partner sharing, fixed for good: your invite code is always visible, partners who haven't joined yet say so, and joining brings you both into one live shared plan. Plus a new way to pay: one payment covers your household through pregnancy and baby's first year — no subscription.

A clearer Homestretch. Decision cards keep your notes and checked-off steps front and center, the subscription screen now says plainly what's included, and small fixes land throughout your plan.

A weekly note, so nothing sneaks up on you. Homestretch now sends one quiet summary each week: where you stand, and what's actually close. Not everything left to do — just the next thing worth your attention, paced to your due date. You'll also get a nudge when a decision's window is closing, so a car seat or a childcare waitlist doesn't quietly turn urgent. We ask once, after your first finished decision — never at launch. Both notes are on from there, and either can be switched off in Household → Notifications. If a week is genuinely quiet, we say nothing at all — that's the point. Also fixed: a research run that failed right after subscribing now retries on its own.

Checking things off no longer moves the list under your finger. Tick a task and it stays put for a moment before it settles into the completed group, so a quick second tap lands on the task you actually aimed at. The decision detail screen now honours the skip it always promised. If you would rather not answer the follow-up questions, "Skip for now" takes you straight to the recommendations and you can come back to them later. Restore purchase in Household > Settings now performs a real restore. If you reinstalled or changed devices, your subscription comes back from there. Plus quieter first-run behaviour and a handful of small corrections to what the app tells you on the Home screen.

Your first decision is on us. Run a complete decision — the real research, the real recommendation, matched to your home, your car and your due date — before you decide whether Homestretch is worth keeping. Also in this release: • Track progress on the slow decisions. Childcare, pediatrician and life insurance now hold your steps and your notes, so touring three daycares doesn't live in six text threads. • "Waiting on them." Once you've joined a waitlist or filed with HR, we stop asking. Nothing needed from you until they come back — and we'll remind you if they go quiet too long. • New guidance for cord blood banking: what to look for, what to avoid, and when the kit has to ship.

Your plan just got fuller. This update adds the things that are easiest to leave too late — childbirth, lactation and infant CPR classes, leave paperwork, postpartum recovery supplies, and the newborn paperwork nobody warns you about. Anything that needs booking ahead now nudges you weeks early, so nothing lands on the day it's due. The first-year list also includes a postpartum checkup for the person who gave birth, not just the baby. It's already in your plan when you open the app. Nothing to set up. Also in this release: • Notes on any checklist item — the class you booked, who to call, what it cost. • Tap something on your home screen and it opens that item, not a list. • A calmer checklist: sections stay folded until you want them, and finished work moves out of the way. • A warmer dark mode.
