What Dadly does

Dadly helps you show up calm, informed, and useful.

It gives you clear, practical guidance across both phases:
Before birth — understand pregnancy symptoms, scans, tests, and appointments.
After birth — understand baby behaviour, common concerns, and when something needs attention.

The problem

Nobody really prepares dads
for the in-between moments.

Not the emergencies. The moments where you're stuck asking:
Is this normal? Should we wait or call? What does this report mean? Is the baby okay? Am I overreacting or missing something?

🤰

During pregnancy

Your partner has a symptom, pain, report, or scan result — and you don't know what it means or how concerned to be.

👶

After birth

The baby is crying, feeding oddly, pooping strangely, sleeping weirdly, or just seems off — and Google makes it worse.

🩺

At appointments

You want to ask the right questions, understand the answers, and actually be useful — not just nod along.

👨

As a dad

Most advice isn't written for your role — what to notice, what to ask, what to track, and how to help.

How it works

Open the app. Ask what's happening.
Know what to do next.

1

Set your stage

Tell Dadly whether you're expecting or already have the baby, plus your week, baby age, and any relevant context. One minute.

2

Ask about mom or baby

Chat about a symptom, upload a report, check your weekly brief, or prepare for a doctor visit.

3

Get calm, practical guidance

Understand what may be normal, what to watch for, and when to seek medical help — without the spiral.

What Dadly does

Built for both sides of the journey —
pregnancy and newborn life.

Dadly is not just a pregnancy app and not just a baby app. It helps dads across the full transition into fatherhood.

💬

Ask about symptoms

Get clear answers when your partner feels off during pregnancy or when your baby seems unwell after birth.

🧾

Understand reports and scans

Upload ultrasounds, blood tests, stool tests, prescriptions, and notes. Dadly explains them in plain English.

📅

Get weekly guidance

Know what's happening this week in pregnancy or this month with your baby — and what matters right now.

🩺

Prepare for doctor visits

Walk in knowing what to ask, what to mention, and what not to forget.

🧠

Advice that remembers your context

Dadly uses your pregnancy stage, baby age, and past context so answers feel relevant, not generic.

🌙

Made for 2am moments

When you can't think clearly, can't reach someone, or don't want to spiral online — Dadly helps you steady yourself.

Reports & Scans

Snap your ultrasound.
Walk out understanding it.

Upload a photo of an ultrasound, blood test, or prescription and Dadly walks you through it — what the test is for, what the findings appear to say, what's reassuring, what's worth noting, and which follow-up questions to bring to the next appointment.

  • Plain-English summary of every line
  • "Reassuring" vs "worth noting" flags
  • Suggested questions for your doctor
  • Works for pregnancy and newborn reports

Weekly Brief

Three things to actually do
this week. Not 40 things to read.

Every week of pregnancy and every month of newborn life, Dadly gives you a short, dad-shaped brief: what's changing, three concrete things to do, what to watch for, and why this week matters. No overwhelming wall of articles — just what's actually useful right now.

  • Personalised by pregnancy week or baby age
  • Three concrete actions, not 40 articles
  • "Why this week matters" context
  • Tailored to conditions her doctor is monitoring

Real questions Dadly answers

The questions you'd Google at 2am —
answered for your week, not a stranger's.

These are the kinds of things dads actually ask Dadly. Every answer is grounded in your pregnancy week or baby's age and any health context you've shared.

Pregnancy

“Her amniotic fluid measurement looked a bit high at the scan — should I be worried?”

Dadly explains what the measurement means at your specific week, when it's usually a recheck vs an actual concern, and exactly what to ask the OB at the next visit.

Newborn

“The baby's poop went from yellow to green — is that normal?”

Dadly maps the colour to your baby's age and feeding type, tells you which colour changes are routine, which deserve a call to the paediatrician, and what to track in the meantime.

Doctor visit

“We have the 20-week anatomy scan tomorrow — what should I actually ask?”

Dadly generates a one-page doctor brief: the questions worth asking at this scan, what each one tells you, and what to do with the answers afterward.

Mental health

“I've been weirdly anxious since the second trimester started — is that a thing for dads?”

Yes — paternal anxiety is real and common. Dadly explains what tends to show up at each phase, what helps, and when it's worth talking to someone.

Why we built Dadly

Built by a dad, for the partner role.

Dadly was started by Ankur Shukla, an iOS developer and engineer who became a dad and realised that almost every pregnancy and parenting app is written for the person who's pregnant — not the partner standing next to her trying to be useful.

The questions a dad has are different. Is this symptom worth waking her up about? Is this report normal for the week we're in? Should I be doing more, or am I in the way? Why does our two-month-old grunt like that at night? Dadly is built around those specific moments — grounded in your pregnancy week, your baby's age, and the conditions you've told us her doctor is monitoring.

We don't replace your OB, midwife, or paediatrician. We help you walk into appointments knowing what to ask, walk out understanding what was said, and handle the long stretches in between with less panic and more presence.

Common questions

Questions dads ask about Dadly

Is there an app specifically for expecting dads?

Yes — Dadly is built specifically for dads. Unlike most pregnancy apps designed for the person who's pregnant, Dadly helps the partner: understanding symptoms, reading scan reports, preparing for doctor visits, and getting calm answers at 3am when something feels off.

What's the best pregnancy app for dads?

Dadly is the only pregnancy and newborn app with context-aware AI chat, medical report analysis, and full coverage from pregnancy through the newborn stage — all built for dads. It gives you clear, calm answers to the questions you'd normally have to Google at 2am.

Can dads use regular pregnancy apps?

Most pregnancy apps are built for the person who's pregnant. Dadly is built for the partner's role: what you need to know, what questions to ask, and how to stay calm and useful across pregnancy and the newborn stage.

Is there an AI app for new dads?

Dadly is an AI-powered app for both expecting and new dads. Ask about your partner's pregnancy symptoms, upload a scan or test result for a plain-English explanation, or ask about your newborn's behaviour. It responds to your specific situation — not generic advice.

Can Dadly explain my ultrasound or blood test?

Yes. Upload a photo or PDF of an ultrasound, blood test, prescription, or doctor's note and Dadly explains what the document is for, what it appears to say, what's reassuring, what's worth noting, and which follow-up questions to bring to the next appointment.

What can I ask Dadly at 3am?

Anything: Is this symptom normal at 30 weeks? What does this ultrasound result mean? The baby won't stop crying — what should I check? The baby's poop colour changed — is that okay? Why is my newborn grunting? Dadly is built for these exact moments, when it's too late to call anyone and Google is making things worse.

How much does Dadly cost?

Dadly is $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year (saves about 33%), with a 3-day free trial. Cancel anytime. Available on iOS and Android.

Is Dadly a replacement for a doctor?

No. Dadly helps you understand what's happening, ask better questions, and decide when something genuinely needs medical attention. It is not medical advice and does not replace your OB, midwife, or paediatrician.
