Boumpouki: Pregnancy

Boumpouki (Μπουμπούκι, "little bud") is a calm, private pregnancy companion made in Greek, for Greece. Week by week: what the baby is building, what changes in your body, which prenatal test comes next and which paperwork is due. The app is in Greek.

THIS WEEK'S BUILDING SITE Every week from 4 to 40: what the baby is building, what is already done and what comes next, with a fruit-size comparison, length and weight. Plus what you may feel and a question for your next appointment.

40 WEEKS AT A GLANCE The whole journey in one timeline, by trimester, with today's week and day.

TESTS AND PAPERWORK • The Greek prenatal test schedule: first scan, nuchal translucency, anomaly scan, glucose tolerance test, growth scan, GBS, CTG. • Add a test to your iPhone Calendar in one tap. • Checklists for the e-EFKA maternity benefit, with the date your leave starts based on your due date, and for what follows the birth: birth registration, the baby's AMKA, the birth allowance.

KICKS AND CONTRACTIONS • Kick counter (to 10) and contraction timer with duration and interval. • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: count kicks or end a contraction without opening the app. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widget with your week.

WEIGHT A simple weight log with a chart.

JOURNAL • A weekly bump photo with a pose guide and last week's photo as a ghost, plus a video timelapse. • Letters to the baby, sealed until a date. • Voice notes.

US Shared to-dos for you and your partner, a weekly "for your partner" card and, if you like, sharing through iCloud: your partner sees only what you choose and can tick off shared to-dos.

PRIVACY, NO ASTERISKS No account. No ads. No analytics or trackers. Your data stays on your iPhone; only if you turn on partner sharing does a small set of data go through your own iCloud. You can delete everything from within the app.

Free, with no in-app purchases.
