About this app

During pregnancy, attention naturally shifts to your partner. And you want to be there — a support for her now, and later a father who is truly present. The only question is: how do you handle that, with everything coming at you at once?

Dadline helps you grow in this, one thing a day. No vague advice and no overwhelming mountain of to-do lists, but one concrete step every day that makes you a better partner and father — from the first ultrasound to the first months at home.

ONE THING EVERY DAY
• Your Daily Contribution: one concrete action every day (Do) plus a conversation question for your partner (Ask). Stay involved and have a conversation together, without it overwhelming you.

• Small and achievable: you don't have to do everything today — just that one thing that matters *now*.

THE CHECKLIST AS A FOUNDATION
• 65 concrete to-dos, divided into 4 phases: first, second, and third trimesters, and the first 3 months after the birth. • 5 areas: Medical & practical, Administration, Money, Relationship, and You (mental). Because fatherhood is more than diapers and a stroller.

• Your progress per phase at a glance — what you checked off and what is still to come.

KEEP OVER OVER
• My tasks: set up ultrasounds, check-ups, and courses with a reminder, or schedule a to-do from the checklist. What comes first appears on your home screen.

• Smart notifications that grow with you: per week of pregnancy, at every new stage, and around the due date.

• You decide which notifications you receive. You can also turn everything off.

MORE THAN A CHECKLIST
• Journal: record what you are experiencing and how you are feeling, with feelings you can tap on. Private, only on your device.
• Info-hub: further information to complement the checklist — articles, books, and reference lists such as the baby essentials checklist. • Contacts: save your midwife's and maternity care numbers, and call them with a single tap.
• Has your baby been born? Confirm it in the app and Dadline celebrates with you — and switches to the first months at home.

PRIVATE, AS IT SHOULD BE
Dadline works locally first: everything works without an account, and your Journal, your contacts, and your partner's name never leave your device. An account (email, Google, or Apple) is optional — it allows you to retrieve your progress and tasks on a new device. You can always turn off synchronization.

Made for and (with input from) by fathers. You don't have to do it perfectly. You just have to be present.
