About this app
Small Hours is a quiet companion for parents of NICU babies — built for the long shifts, the medical jargon, and the moments worth keeping.
Three things, done with care.
DECODE THE WORDS
A NICU dictionary in your pocket. CPAP, NEC, A&Bs, corrected age, gestational weeks — every term in plain language, with the context that helps you ask better questions on rounds. Tap a medical note and the words your doctor used surface their meaning automatically.
STAY CONNECTED
Family who can't sit at the bedside still want to be there. Share milestones, photos, and quiet daily updates with the people who love your baby — without group-chat overload.
HOLD ONTO THE STORY
Journal entries with photos, moods, and warm scrapbook backgrounds become a keepsake of the hardest, most tender season. Your story, in your words, dated and saved. Every entry stamps both actual age and corrected age, so the timeline reflects how preemie parents really measure.
WHY CORRECTED AGE
A baby born ten weeks early is, on their first birthday, a two-month-old developmentally. Small Hours treats that as the default, not a footnote. Milestones group by corrected month, journal entries record both ages, and growth tracking respects the runway prematurity steals.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
• Journal with photos, moods, tags, and scrapbook backgrounds
• Medical notes with auto-detected term definitions (52+ NICU terms)
• Milestone tracker grouped by corrected month, with custom milestones
• Appointment calendar with notes and outcomes
• Corrected age engine accurate to the day
FREE TO START
Five journal entries, three medical notes, three appointments, and one photo per entry are always free — enough to capture the first weeks at no cost. Some advanced features are part of a Small Hours subscription, available on smallhours.app.
NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
Small Hours helps you understand and remember — it does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace your medical team. Always speak with your NICU staff and pediatrician for clinical guidance.
ACCOUNT
To use Small Hours, sign in with an account created at smallhours.app. Terms of use: smallhours.app/terms.
PRIVACY
Your journal, photos, and notes are yours. Encrypted in transit, stored on Supabase, never sold, never shared with advertisers. You can delete your account and everything in it from Settings, anytime.
The "small hours" are the 3am feeds, the alarm-quiet ICU, the long shifts when the world is asleep but you are not. We hope this app sits gently with you in those hours.
