A private iPhone app for the family around a mother — plan for birth, coordinate newborn care, and keep the right people calmly in the loop.

From bump to baby

One app for the whole arc

Pregnancy apps end at birth. Baby trackers start after it. Hive carries your family through the entire story — and everyone who loves you comes along.

01 · Expecting

The plan takes shape

Follow the pregnancy week by week with your circle seeing the same picture. Keep appointments and scans in one place, save your hospital of choice, and build a structured birth plan — labor, delivery, newborn care, health notes — that exports as a clean PDF for your provider and the hospital bag.

02 · The big day

When it's time

Birth places live on their own map, separate from emergency care for baby — with favorites the whole family can see. The birth plan is already printed, your people already know their roles, and nobody is asking mom for directions.

03 · Baby's here

The newborn rhythm

Start a nursing session the moment you sit down. Log bottles, solids, sleep, diapers, baths, vitamins, and meds — by tap, by widget, by Siri, or by just talking when one arm is holding the baby. Twins? Every log keeps each baby separate.

04 · Growing together

The circle stays close

Photos, milestones, and little updates land in a private family feed — so every “how's the baby?” is answered once, on your schedule, without broadcasting a newborn's life to the internet. Grandparents see the joy; helpers see what helps.

Who it's for

Made for the people around a new baby

One private place for the mother and the circle who shows up for her — before and after baby arrives.

Expecting parents

Follow the pregnancy week by week and build a birth plan you can hand to your provider.

Partners & grandparents

Invited by role, they see what matters and help — without mom repeating herself to everyone.

Twin families

Track each baby separately across feeds, diapers, sleep, nursing, vitamins, and meds.

Surrogacy & care circles

Surrogates, nannies, and babysitters join the same private hive with the right level of access.

One private place for pregnancy, birth, and baby care

Warm enough for the newborn days, structured enough for real coordination.

Nursing-led Baby Feeding

Open the app, start nursing — one tap. Bottles, solids, amounts, sides, and notes stay close for the days that need more detail, and the log keeps the whole rhythm visible.

Birth plan & PDFs

A structured plan for labor, delivery, newborn care, health notes, and provider details — exported as a clean, hospital-ready PDF your care team can read in ninety seconds.

Twins, meds & memories

Twin Mode keeps each baby separate across every log. Vitamins & Meds hold dose, timing, and notes. Photos hold the rest.

Talk to Hive

Voice and Siri log feeds, naps, diapers, notes, and appointments when one hand is all you have. On-device speech; nothing recorded.

Birth places & Baby ER map

Places to give birth stay separate from emergency rooms for the little one, with saved favorites for the family.

Week-by-week pregnancy

Baby's growth and due date, shared with everyone supporting mom.

A shared family Hive

Partner, relatives, friends, surrogate, nanny — invited by role.

Sleep tracking

Naps and nights, visible to helpers without a text thread.

Themes, widgets & Siri

Mauve, Sea Moss, or Blue — with logging from the Home and Lock Screen.

Simple setup, serious coordination

Start light, then let Hive grow with the family from pregnancy to baby care.

Serious about private family care

Pregnancy and newborn details are intimate. Here is exactly how Hive keeps them yours.

Voice stays on your phone

Quick-logging uses Apple's on-device speech recognition. Raw audio is never recorded, sent, or stored — only the entry you confirm is saved.

No background tracking

Location is used only while the app is open, to find nearby birth places and baby emergency care. We never track you in the background.

We don't touch Apple Health

No access to your Contacts, Calendar, or Apple Health. Your Hive is private to the people you invite — and you can export or delete it anytime.

Hive helps organize family care and context. It does not replace clinicians, emergency services, or medical advice.

Give your family one calm place to show up

Download Hive for pregnancy, birth planning, baby care, nursing, photos, voice logs, and the people helping you in one private family space.

Free on iPhone & iPad.

Cloud Veil themes

Mauve, Sea Moss, and Blue now sit on a softer moving backdrop that feels warmer, quieter, and more native to iPhone.

Nursing-first feeding

Baby Feeding opens where tired parents need it most: start nursing, add bottles or solids, or jump into the log without extra wandering.

Hospital-ready birth plan

Create a structured plan for labor, delivery, health notes, newborn care, and placenta-home preferences, then export a clean PDF.

Twin Mode that follows through

Keep each baby clear across feeds, diapers, baths, sleep, vitamins, meds, photos, nursing, and profile care.

Birth places and Baby ERs

Separate places to give birth from emergency care for the little one, with quieter map categories and focused result cards.

Vitamins & Meds

Keep medicine, vitamins, dose, timing, and notes in one calm log — clear for parents and anyone helping with care.
