Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions about genetics, predictions, pregnancy tracking, privacy, and more - answered.

General Questions

ProbaBaby (listed on the App Store as “Pregnancy & Baby Tracker - PB”) is a free iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch app for pregnancy, newborn and postpartum tracking, built for twins, in 32 in-app languages, with an optional AI baby-face prediction that computes Mendelian genetics (Punnett squares) from the traits you enter before any image is generated. Tracking, tools, PDF reports and family sharing are free; only AI predictions use credits — 5 starter credits cover your first Scientific prediction — and no subscription is required. Requires iOS 26 or later. Not available on Android.

Unlike apps that simply blend parent photos, ProbaBaby calculates genetic probabilities using real scientific models - including Punnett squares, dominant/recessive genes, and polygenic inheritance - before generating AI visualizations.

Predictions compute trait probabilities in code with Punnett squares before any image is generated, so the percentages come from inheritance models rather than from blending photos. The confidence figure (60–95 %) reflects how complete your inputs are; it is not an accuracy measurement and is capped at 95 % by design. Predictions are for entertainment and education. ProbaBaby is not medical advice and not a medical device.

No. ProbaBaby is for entertainment and educational purposes only. It is not a medical or diagnostic tool. Always consult healthcare professionals for medical advice.

Credits & Pricing

Credits are the currency used for AI-powered predictions. Different prediction modes require different amounts of credits: Standard Mode (8), Premium Mode (12), and Scientific Mode (4).

No! Credits never expire. Buy once, use anytime.

Yes — every new account gets 5 starter credits, enough for one free Scientific prediction (4 credits). After that, buy a credit pack whenever you want more; credits never expire.

No subscription is ever needed. Predictions run on credits, and nothing else in the app is paywalled. Seedling, Bloom and Blossom are optional Supporter subscriptions (Seedling monthly only; Bloom and Blossom monthly or yearly). They unlock no features and give no discount — they keep the app free and independent and are recognised with badges and the Supporter Wall.

Genetics & Science

We analyze eye color (2-gene model), hair color and type, skin tone (polygenic), height, and facial features including face shape, nose shape, dimples, and freckles.

Grandparent data helps us detect hidden recessive genes — for example, a brown-eyed parent might carry a recessive blue-eye allele from their own parent, which could appear in their child. Premium predictions are the ones that ask for all four grandparents; Standard and Scientific work from the two parents alone.

Punnett squares are a genetic tool that shows all possible gene combinations from two parents. We use them to calculate the probability of each trait appearing in your baby.

By inputting traits from all four grandparents, we can trace genetic inheritance patterns across generations and identify recessive genes that might otherwise be hidden.

Privacy & Security

Parent photos are used only to run your prediction and are deleted from our servers a few hours after it finishes — never before the prediction completes, and at least 4 hours after upload. The prediction itself — the report and the generated images — is removed from your account after 48 hours by default; you can choose 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days in Settings. Scientific mode sends no photos at all.

Absolutely not. We never sell your personal data. Your genetic information and photos are used solely for generating your predictions.

Your data is encrypted in transit, with iOS data protection at rest on your device; photos are processed in private, access-controlled storage and are deleted a few hours after your prediction. You can delete your account from inside the app (the policy commits to removing personal data within 30 days) and export your account data — the rights GDPR describes, access, export and erasure, are open to everyone who uses ProbaBaby, wherever you live. We run no advertising, attribution or product-analytics SDKs, and we never sell data.

Yes — delete your account directly in the app (Profile → Delete Account), behind a two-step confirmation. Your data is then removed from our servers under a 30-day policy window. You can also email privacy@proba.baby.

Features & Platform

Yes! ProbaBaby includes a full Apple Watch app for tracking kicks during pregnancy, and logging feeding, sleep, and diapers during postpartum - perfect for 3am feedings when you don't want to reach for your phone.

We offer 17 Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — pregnancy week progress, due date countdown, baby size, kick counter, feeding timer, sleep tracker, diaper count, the 24-hour baby day clock and more — plus 8 Live Activities with Dynamic Island for real-time tracking on your Lock Screen, and 7 Apple Watch complications.

32 free in-app tools in 7 categories (genetic predictions, pregnancy health, fertility planning, baby names, baby development, labor preparation, postpartum care). None of them need credits or a subscription.

ProbaBaby supports 32 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Portugal & Brazil), Russian, Serbian, Thai, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Turkish, Vietnamese, Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Czech, Hungarian, and Dutch. We also have full RTL (right-to-left) support for Arabic and Hebrew.

Pregnancy & Baby Tracking

Track your entire pregnancy journey: week-by-week progress, kick counting, weight monitoring, baby size comparisons, health metrics, symptoms, and appointments.

Comprehensive tracking for both baby and mom: feeding (breast/bottle with duration), sleep logging, diaper changes, growth charts, milestones, mood tracking, EPDS screening, recovery progress, and hydration.

Yes. Mark twins or triplets on your pregnancy profile to get delivery-window guidance adjusted for multiples in your doctor visit summary, twin-specific weight-gain targets, and a hospital bag checklist that scales baby items to your baby count. After birth, every baby gets their own independent feeding, sleep, diaper, growth, and vaccination tracking - there is no limit on babies, and adding them is always free.

Yes! Hospital bag checklists (for mom, baby, partner, and documents), birth plan creator, contraction timer with 5-1-1 rule alerts, and emergency contact management.

Ovulation calculator, fertility window tracker, cycle length calculator, conception date estimator, implantation timeline, plus fun predictors like Chinese and Mayan gender calendars.
