For partners of new mothers
A calm checklist
for the first year.
DadDeck is a partner-aware workspace for the fourth trimester and beyond. Evidence-anchored tasks, gentle screeners, a quiet timeline. Built for one-handed use at three in the morning.
Private by default. We never sell data. No streaks, no badges, no push-to-re-engage hooks.
What it is
A workspace, not a feed.
Most postpartum apps target moms or treat baby-tracking like a Fitbit. DadDeck is the inverse — a checklist of high-leverage actions calibrated to the baby's developmental week and your partner's recovery, with a softer shared surface for her.
Today's focus
One to three tasks per day. Each carries a doula note explaining the why and the evidence behind it.
Quiet logs
Feeds, diapers, sleep — typed in seconds, never demanded. Long-press to edit, never swipe-to-delete at 3am.
Real screeners
EPDS for her, Paternal-EPDS for you. Deterministic safety triage upstream of any AI.
3am mode
Amber-only red-shifted palette for night feeds — protects dark adaptation and won't spike cortisol.
Who it's for
The partner who's holding the rope.
You're the operator. Sleep-deprived. One-handed. Wondering what to do this hour, this day, this week. Wanting numbers and a clear “what's next.” Wanting to know how she's really doing — without monitoring her.
DadDeck is built around that role. Your partner sees a softer surface where she can check in or be checked in on. She's a user, never a subject.
How it feels
Linear had a baby with Headspace.
We borrow Linear's craft and density. We borrow Headspace's warmth. We reject the engagement-loop instincts of both. Every choice — palette, typography, motion, copy — is tuned to lower your heart rate, not raise it.
The single design question on every screen: would a tired person, holding an infant, with their partner asleep ten feet away, want to look at this? If the answer is anything but yes, we redesign it.
