Most pregnancy apps are built for the person who's pregnant, with a read-only view for everyone else. Bump Duo is built for two — and the partner is one of the two.
If you're the partner, you've probably been handed a link to someone else's app, or nothing at all. You see a fruit once a week and hear about the rest second-hand. The pregnant person ends up forwarding screenshots and keeping every list in their head.
Bump Duo gives both of you the same space. Everything one of you adds, the other can answer — claim it, vote on it, reply to it. It works the same way whether you're a dad, a mum, or a partner of any kind.
What the partner actually does in it Takes on tasks: Either of you writes a task; either of you claims it with “I'll do it”. Nobody assigns, nobody chases. Adds questions to appointments: Put your own questions on the next scan or check-up, even if you won't be in the room — each one shows who asked it. Votes on the big buys: Put pram and cot options side by side with their prices, vote one each, and watch one shared budget. Suggests names: Suggesting a name counts as your yes. When you both say yes, it's a match. Answers the moments: When your partner taps “kicking right now”, one tap back says you felt it with them — from work, from anywhere. Has the conversations: Nine themes and 83 written questions for the two of you — money, birth, family. Nothing you say is stored. Sees the same week: The week, the size and what's happening are the same on both phones, and both are told when the week turns.
What it deliberately doesn't do No medical advice: Sizes and measurements are shown as context, never as a verdict. How your pregnancy is going is a question for your midwife or doctor. No chat box: You already have one. Every card is something structured to answer, not another thread to scroll. No accounts: No sign-up, no email, no password. Two phones pair with a six-character code.
Getting both of you in Install Bump Duo on one phone and set it up — as the one who's pregnant, or as the partner. Open Invite and send the code or link to the other phone. Install on the second phone, choose your role, and enter the code. You're paired.
