    ContractionTrack.com interface
    Personal Tool

    ContractionTrack.com

    Built in the delivery room while my wife was in labour! When her contraction timer app suddenly asked for login and showed ads, I grabbed my phone and built this in 30 minutes. No logins, no ads, no paywall - just a focused tool to track contractions. Features vibration feedback, offline functionality, dark mode, and export to WhatsApp/Notes. Thanks to Lingo.dev, it's multilingual. Vibecoding at its finest.
