Would Muslim mothers actually use something like this?

I’ve been working on a pregnancy app aimed at Muslim mothers and was curious whether people here feel this is actually something missing.

A lot of pregnancy apps I came across felt very clinical and tracking-focused, which is obviously useful, but they didn’t really reflect the emotional or spiritual side of pregnancy that many Muslim women experience.

So I started building something a bit calmer and more reflective alongside the normal practical tools.

It has things like:
• daily Quran/hadith reflections related to pregnancy and motherhood
• morning/evening adhkār reminders
• Islamic baby names with meanings
• trimester-based content that changes throughout pregnancy
• the usual tracking features like kicks, contractions, notes, weight logs, checklists, etc.

One detail I spent a weird amount of time on was making the app itself feel different depending on the trimester, so even the colours and atmosphere gradually shift over time rather than feeling static.

The hardest part honestly wasn’t building the app technically, it was the content. Making sure things were authentic, sourced properly, translated carefully, and didn’t feel preachy or generic took much longer than expected.

It’s currently available in English, Arabic, and Turkish, and I’m also working on a community feature so mothers can support each other directly.

Genuine question:
Would something like this actually be useful to Muslim mothers, or do most people already get this kind of support elsewhere through family/community/etc.?

I’d honestly appreciate criticism more than encouragement because I’m still refining it.

I built a pregnancy companion app for Muslim mothers and would love honest feedback.

A little while ago I launched Hamila after realising I couldn't find a pregnancy app that actually reflected the emotional and spiritual side of pregnancy for Muslim women.

Most pregnancy apps felt very clinical or productivity-focused. Helpful for tracking symptoms, but disconnected from how many Muslim women actually experience pregnancy spiritually and emotionally. Think of it of a mindfulness app meets pregnancy tracker.

So I built something quieter and more reflective.

Hamila includes things like:
• Pregnancy focused daily Quran and hadith reflections
• reflections connected to the Names of Allah and different emotional stages of pregnancy
• morning and evening adhkār reminders
• A genuine list of modern, current and up to date Islamic baby names with meanings and origins (allowing you to save and reject name suggestions for future reference)
• trimester-based reminders and content that shift depending on what that stage of pregnancy often feels like emotionally and physically
• fruit-sized baby development visuals alongside the practical tracking/checklists you'd expect from a modern pregnancy app
• kick counter, contraction timer, notes, weight tracking, birth planning, etc.

Even small details were intentional. The colours and atmosphere of the app gradually change across trimesters to reflect the different phases of the journey rather than making the experience feel static.

The content side took far longer than building the app itself. Every reflection had to be sourced carefully, rewritten thoughtfully, translated properly, and balanced in a way that felt spiritually grounding without becoming overwhelming or preachy.

The app is currently available fully in English, Arabic, and Turkish, and we're also about to launch a feature called The Circle, where Muslim mothers can speak to each other directly, ask questions, share experiences, and support one another through pregnancy and early motherhood.

We want the app to be for the Muslim community so we don't plan to charge for access to additional features and privacy and user data safety is a priority. Muslim owned for Muslims.

For Muslim mothers here (or fathers/husbands too honestly):
Does this feel like a real gap that exists?
Or do most people already get this kind of support elsewhere through family, community, podcasts, classes, etc.?

Would genuinely appreciate honest criticism, not just encouragement.
