How can we help?

No — BabyCheers has no sign-up screen anywhere. When you first open the app it creates an anonymous identity on your phone, and that's who you are. No email, no password, nothing to forget.

The family you invite don't need accounts either. They open your link and they're in.

Open the Milestones tab and tap the invite icon in the top right. That gives you one link for your whole journey — copy it or share it however you normally message people. Anyone who opens it joins, and can cheer and comment from then on.

If you only want to show one moment to someone, share that card's link instead from the card itself. They'll see that card and nothing else.

Only if you choose to when you set the reveal up. If you don't, the answer stays sealed on our side until the moment it opens — and your own phone cannot see it either. That is what makes "sealed even from you" real, rather than a promise the app makes to itself.

They'll need BabyCheers installed first — the link opens the app, not a web page. Ask them to install it from the App Store, then tap your link again. If the app is already installed and the link still does nothing, they can open BabyCheers, choose I was invited, and paste the link in directly.

In Profile, use Move to a new phone before you switch. It creates a single-use link that hands the journey to your new device and signs the old one out.

Do this while you still have the old phone. Because BabyCheers has no accounts, there's nothing we can look you up by — a journey whose phone is gone can't be recovered by us or by anyone.

Open a card and use its delete option to remove one moment, along with its photos, cheers, and comments. To remove everything, delete the journey from Profile.

Deletion is real, not a hidden flag — the rows leave our database, and backups are cleared within 30 days. It can't be undone, so we ask before doing it.

Yes. Open the invite sheet from Milestones, find them in the list of people who joined, and remove them. They lose access to the journey.

Bear in mind that anyone can forward a link before you do that, and that someone who already saw a photo has already seen it. If a moment is one you'd rather nobody had, mark it private or delete it.

No, and deliberately so. There's nowhere in BabyCheers to record symptoms, weight, kick counts, or appointments, and it will never offer medical advice. It holds the celebrating part — the moments, the photos, the people cheering — and leaves the clinical part to you and your midwife.

Yes, BabyCheers is free to use today. If we add paid features later, we'll be clear about the price and what it covers before you're asked for anything, and what you've already added stays yours.

We're building iPhone first, because one platform done properly beats two done at half strength — especially for the live reveal, which is the hardest thing in the app. Android is planned, and we're not going to promise a date we can't keep. Watch this page.

Any iPhone running iOS 18 or later. There's no iPad or Mac version yet.

Please tell us — small teams live on this. Email us with what you did, what happened, and what you expected. A screenshot and your iOS version make it much faster to fix.
