Why kick counting matters

Around 28 weeks, your baby's movement becomes one of the clearest signals of well-being.

Healthcare providers recommend a simple practice: count 10 movements within 2 hours. What matters most is learning your baby's normal rhythm — and noticing when it changes. Littletaps is built around that one idea, and nothing else.

How it works

Three taps from open to peace of mind.

  1. 01

    Open the app

    The screen wakes and stays awake. A soft breathing animation sets the pace. Nothing flashes at you.

  2. 02

    Tap when you feel a kick

    One large heart-shaped target. Optional gentle haptic. Choose a soft click, a heartbeat, or silence.

  3. 03

    See the pattern over time

    A calendar view shows daily counts at a glance. Export a clean CSV for your OB or midwife anytime.

FAQ

Questions, gently answered.

When should I start counting kicks?

Most healthcare providers recommend starting around 28 weeks of pregnancy. Always follow guidance from your own OB or midwife.

What's the "10 in 2 hours" rule?

It's a widely cited guideline (Cleveland Clinic and others) suggesting that healthy active babies typically produce 10 distinct movements within a 2-hour window. The more important practice, per the NHS, is learning your baby's normal pattern and noticing changes.

Is this a medical or diagnostic tool?

No. Littletaps is a wellness tool to help you be mindful of movement. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace medical advice. If you notice a sudden change, slow-down, or stop in movement, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Is my data shared with anyone?

No. Everything stays on your device. We don't run analytics, don't use third-party SDKs, and don't have a server collecting your sessions. CSV exports are generated locally and only go where you send them.

Will it cost anything?

No. The app is free, ad-free, and will remain so.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Every kick writes to local storage in under 200ms. The app is offline-first by design.
