How it works
Two sides of the same calm.
Doulas set up once; families join with one link. From there it's birth plans, appointments, messages, and a live shared timing log — each side seeing exactly what it needs, and nothing more.
For doulas

Invite your clients
Send one link. Each family gets a calm, private space — no downloads, no instructions, nothing for them to set up at 39 weeks.
- 02
Prepare together
Birth plans drafted at their pace with your comments in the margins. Appointments that remind themselves. Resources sent at the right moment, not in one overwhelming folder.
- 03
See the timing log as it updates
When timing starts, your shared labor view updates. Intervals, durations, the shape of the pattern — live, so your first call is informed instead of investigative.

Open your doula’s invite
One link, and you’re in — your plan, your appointments, your doula, all in one quiet place. Nothing to install, nothing to figure out.
- 02
Plan at your own pace
The birth plan builder asks good questions one at a time. Your doula reads along and comments. No fourteen-tab research spiral required.
- 03
When it starts, just tap
One tap when a contraction begins, one when it ends. Your doula sees the pattern change before you have to explain it.
App and website
One calm system, every screen.
Doulas get a full dashboard on any computer. Families get a phone experience where the only tap they'll need is the big one. HiDoula installs to the home screen like an app — no app store required.
One tap to start, one to end.
That's the whole job.
The toolkit
Everything a birth needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Live labor connection
Each tap lands in your doula’s shared labor view in realtime — intervals, durations, the trend. She sees things picking up and reaches out, instead of you composing updates between contractions.
Birth plans, written together
A guided builder that works section by section. Your doula comments in the margins, then you finalize one clean version the whole care team can actually read.
Appointments that keep themselves
Prenatal visits, planning sessions, postpartum check-ins — templated, reminded, and exportable to any calendar. Nobody plays scheduling tennis.
Messaging without the scramble
A private channel per family, plus one-tap check-ins for the moments when typing a sentence is genuinely too much to ask.
Resources, not a pile of PDFs
Doulas curate their library once, then hand each family exactly the right thing at exactly the right week. Personal, not promotional.
Postpartum, still together
The relationship doesn’t end at the birth, and neither does the workspace. Follow-ups, check-ins, and resources carry through the fourth trimester.
Good questions
Asked, answered, no fine print.
Is HiDoula an app or a website?
Both, politely. It runs in any browser and installs to a phone’s home screen like an app — no app store, no updates to chase. Doulas tend to live in the desktop view; families mostly use their phones.
Do families pay anything?
Sometimes — one simple pass covers each birth for everyone involved, and either side can take care of it. See pricing →
Is my information private?
Yes. Your space is shared only with the people you invite. There are no ad trackers, and no analytics anywhere inside the app (only anonymized page counts on our public marketing pages) — your birth is not a marketing opportunity.
Is HiDoula medical software?
No. HiDoula is a support and coordination tool — not a medical device, diagnosis tool, or emergency monitoring system. For urgent concerns, contact your care provider or local emergency services.
What does it cost for doulas?
One simple pass per birth — no monthly subscription, no tiers, no per-seat math, and your first client is on us once your practice is verified. See pricing →
Ready when the two of you are.
Free to set up, no subscriptions — births don't arrive on a billing cycle, so neither do we.
