Custom tone and topic controls

Why tone control matters
For many parents, standard pregnancy apps continue to send cheerful updates even when circumstances change. Those messages can feel painful rather than supportive.
Alongside was designed with the understanding that language, timing and context matter. Your app should respond to your reality, not assume it.
Grief, fear and hope can all exist within pregnancy and postpartum. Alongside adapts with care.
Events
Keep track of important dates and share event details when it feels right.
Create events
Add appointments, scans, milestones or meaningful dates so you can see what is coming up.
Share invites
Send calendar style invites for events directly from Alongside. Only event details are shared, never your journal or tracking data.
Coming soon
We're building the features parents have asked for, including Groups to connect with others, Sharing to send selected moments to trusted people, and Patterns to reveal insights from your tracking over time
