For expecting dads · new dads · iOS

Prepare for birth.
Run the baby day.

One private app for the whole run: prep for birth, track feeds and diapers at 3 a.m., watch your own recovery, and find any answer fast — without an account, ads, or your data leaving the phone.

What it does

From what do I do?
to handled.

DadYolked isn't another tracker you feed data into and never hear back from. It tells you what to do next — for the pregnancy, the baby, and you.

The Today screen, but for dads.

One adaptive surface for the phase you are in: Dad Readiness during pregnancy, Dad Recovery after birth, and the next best action when the day gets messy.

Dad Recovery and Readiness.

Private Apple Health sleep and step context turns into simple guidance: bank rest before birth, spot burnout risk after birth, and plan the next shift.

Search, coach, and remember.

Universal Search finds logs, sleep locations, appointments, milestones, journals, and saved details. AI Coach keeps answers grounded in the family context you choose.

Assistant, with boundaries.

Ask grounded questions about the active child — with stage-safe answers, named log context, and review-first memory. Private notes stay private; off-topic questions stay out of the care digest.

Shared care on your terms.

Invite a caregiver through Apple’s share flow. See Pending, Accepted, and Revoked clearly. Offline care logs retry automatically — dad journal and mood never join the share queue.

August 2026

Built for 2 AM. Trusted by design.

This update is about the 3 a.m. experience: less to read, fewer taps, and a clearer picture of who's doing what.

Night Quiet Today

Overnight, Today shows current state and the next useful action only. Post-birth one-thumb logging stays available when you need it.

Undo a mis-tap

One-tap care logs get a five-second Undo window. Active feed and sleep timers can keep the screen awake so you don’t dig for the lock button.

Right child, right stage

Notifications, widgets, and Assistant ground on the active child. Wrong-stage questions get a calm redirect before model answers run.

Share states you can read

Pending acceptance, Accepted, Revoked, Last synced, and Offline pending — with a clear line that private journal never leaves on the care queue.

Every stage

One app. Forty weeks,
then a thousand more.

Most baby apps treat dad like an optional accessory. DadYolked assumes you're the one holding the baby at 3 a.m., because some nights you are.

Week 12 pregnancy illustration
Expecting

Prep, not panic.

Walk into the delivery room knowing where the carseat is, what a contraction is supposed to feel like, and where you stashed the snacks.

  • 40-week timeline
  • Contractions & kicks
  • Hospital bag tracker
Newborn

Survive the blur.

Fast logs, sleep windows, feeding sides, diaper trends. The 3 a.m. screen that doesn't make you cry harder.

  • Feeds, naps, diapers
  • Routine builder
  • Live Activity timers
Growing

Catch the wins.

Milestones, medicine, appointments, photos. The hand-off package the pediatrician actually wants to see.

  • Milestone catalog
  • Medicine log + reminders
  • Pediatrician export
Inside the app

The dashboard that acts like a co-pilot, not a database.

Tap-friendly. One-handed. Built around the next thing you have to do — not a wall of charts you'll never open.

Today

What is next, said simply.

A practical dashboard for feeds, naps, diapers, meds, appointments, dad recovery, and pregnancy prep. It changes with the profile instead of making you manage tabs.

Pregnancy + post-birth

Pregnancy prep becomes baby ops.

Expecting mode keeps birth prep, kicks, contractions, and week-by-week context in front. Post-birth mode shifts to quick logs, recovery, routines, and pediatrician-ready history.

The actual app

Real screens. No concept mockups.

Four practical starting points, depending on what tonight looks like.

Running the newborn shift

Feeds, diapers, sleep, medicine, schedules, and quick calculators.

"You don't need another app telling you to enjoy every moment. You need to know when the last feed was. That's what this does."
Privacy

Your family data is not our business model.

Local-first storage, explicit CloudKit sharing, protected Assistant history, controlled exports, plain-language privacy, and direct support. The site exists so families can understand exactly what the app does before they install it.

On-device by default

Your logs live on your phone by default. Export and Apple shared-care sync are explicit choices.

No ads, no resale

No ad SDKs, no data brokers, no family-profile resale, and no third-party tracking for advertising.

Sharing stays explicit

Caregiver access comes from accepting Apple’s CKShare invitation—not from a URL, code, label, or SMS.

Your data, exportable

Export supported data as JSON or CSV for visits, backup, or moving off the app. Assistant history can be included in the JSON backup.

Quick answers
