Free contraction timer for labor — no paywall, no ads, no account. Time a contraction from your Lock Screen or Apple Watch; we handle the math, gaps and durations.
Contraction Timer by Nestling is the labor timer built for the moment your bandwidth is lowest. One tap to start, one to stop — on your iPhone, your Lock Screen, or your wrist. We handle the math, the gaps, and the durations so you can focus on labor. Completely free — no paywall, no ads, no subscription.
• Live Activity + Lock Screen — glance at the timer without unlocking
• Ask Siri to start a contraction — completely hands-free timing
• Huge one-tap buttons designed for active labor, not fiddly menus
KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
• Automatic duration, gap, and median tracking for every contraction
• 5-1-1 timing-pattern awareness — get a clear, calm note when your contractions are about 5 minutes apart, lasting about 1 minute, for about an hour
• Intensity logging with a single tap after each contraction
• Session history — review your durations and patterns
WHEN YOUR BABY ARRIVES
• Continue into Nestling, the calm baby tracker, so your story keeps going from your last contraction to your baby’s first feeding: feeds, sleep, diapers, and growth in one place
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• No account required. No ads. No subscription. Your timing data is never sold.
IMPORTANT
Contraction Timer by Nestling is a timing tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, detect, or predict labor, and it does not detect emergencies or provide medical advice. Timing patterns such as 5-1-1 are informational only — only your healthcare provider can tell you when to seek care. In any emergency, call your provider or local emergency services immediately.
From the makers of Nestling, the calm baby tracker. When baby arrives, your story continues there.

• Coming back after a longer break in timing? The app now gently checks in, so you can pick up where you left off or head to Nestling when you're ready.
• This check-in appears at most once per timing session, only inside the app, and never as a notification.
