Open-ended choices feel heavy; bounded options help.

What this MVP is really doing
It is not a pregnancy tracker. It is a translation layer.
DadBond is testing whether a couple will pay for less reminding, less guessing, and clearer ownership during pregnancy.
Reduce the cost of asking.
Weekly Pulse lets her express a state without becoming the household project manager.
Replace vague pressure with one concrete move.
Today gives a small action tied to week, signal, feedback, and prep context.
Close the loop without scorekeeping.
Done, partner-visible completion, and light feedback keep the system practical instead of performative.
The core loop
She taps what feels heavy. He gets what to do next.
The product bet lives in this loop. Everything else supports it: appointments, checklists, decisions, memories, and First 30 Days.
Weekly Pulse
Pick one to three signals like tired, food is hard, or appointments feel like a lot.
Today action
DadBond selects one practical move that fits the week and signal.
Done in seconds
Dad marks it complete, with private notes or partner-visible progress.
Helpful feedback
She taps Helpful, More like this, or Not this so the next action improves.
Sample actions
Three moments where guessing usually wins.
DadBond keeps the work small enough to do today and specific enough to matter.
Mom Signal: Needs fewer decisions
Offer two concrete dinner options and own the next step.
Do not ask what she wants from scratch. Pick two safe choices, ask which feels better, then handle ordering, cooking, or cleanup.
Why it helps
Pregnancy support often starts with reducing the number of decisions she has to launch.
Dad owns
The options, the logistics, and the cleanup plan.
Safety boundary
Food preferences and medical restrictions come from the couple and healthcare provider.
MVP scope
The first version focuses on couple workflow, not content volume.
The iPhone MVP is local-first and AI-free: deterministic content, privacy-minimal analytics, Supabase scaffolding, and a Couple Pass purchase path.
Today
One primary daily action chosen from pregnancy week, partner signal, feedback, and entitlement.
Weekly Pulse
Partner or dad-initiated check-ins that capture what should feel lighter this week.
Decision Relief
Turns open-ended questions into bounded choices when mental load is high.
Appointment Captain
Before, during, and after visit support: notes, questions, logistics, and follow-ups.
Couple Space
Shared timeline, checklist, invite flow, partner-visible completions, and light feedback.
Sensitive Mode
Pauses celebratory pregnancy content and keeps memories available when ordinary updates are not right.
Pricing test
Couple Pass is the commercial signal.
The MVP should learn whether couples value shared workflow enough to pay for it. The current launch validation price is a one-time Couple Pass at $7.99, with $9.99 held as the next price test and Memory Book Export held as an optional add-on.
- Free preview keeps solo dad usage lightweight.
- Paid value starts when the partner workflow unlocks.
- No medical claims, emergency triage, or diagnosis.
