The Along the Waves App

A 60-second daily check-in for moms who need to hear: it's not just you.

Open the app, tap “I'm here,” and take one quiet minute for yourself before you get back to it. That's the whole ask — you walk away a little less alone than you were sixty seconds ago.

Where motherhood is shared.

Love notes from moms

Moms don't need another place to be perfect. They need reminders like these:

  • I don’t always have time for long chats, but I love that I can just check in and still feel seen.

    - Meghan

  • Opened it at 3am during a feed and it weirdly made me feel less alone.

    - Julia

  • I swear the daily check-in and meditations are my mini therapy session every morning 😂

    - Abby

It starts with one tap: “I'm here”

Open the app and you'll see how many moms are already here today. Tap “I'm here,” take your 60-second reset, and get back to the laundry, the meeting, the 4pm meltdown — just steadier, and reminded you're not the only one.

Send a little love. Get some back.

  • Send a little love

    Write a note to another mom — someone you'll never have to make small talk with — and let it land in her day when she needs it.

  • Get some back

    Then check your own mailbox: “we're all just winging it,” “we can make it till bedtime.” Turns out a stranger quietly rooting for you hits different.

Short tracks for wherever you are

Rebuilt from the ground up. Sort by time of day — Start the day, Wind down — or by exactly how you feel: Ragey? Running on fumes? Spiraling? Mom guilt? Each one's 1–3 minutes. No mat, no candle. Made for the in-between moments, while you're driving, folding, or hiding in the pantry.

Keep the good ones

Answer one small reflection — “what are you grateful for today?” — capture a glimmer with a photo, and watch your habit jar fill up shell by shell. Part gratitude journal, part glimmer tracker, part daily habit tracker with a streak, for the days it feels like nothing's adding up.

Common Questions

What is the daily check-in?

It's the heart of the app. Once a day you tap “I'm here” and get a 60-second reset for the kind of day you're having. That's it. No feed, no pressure, no catching up — just one honest minute that reminds you it's not just you.

What makes Along the Waves different from other mom apps?

Most apps ask for more — more posting, more scrolling, more keeping up. This one asks for sixty seconds. Instead of another place to perform, it's a quiet daily ritual with the tools that actually help: quick meditations, a Glimmers page to hold the good moments, and love letters from other moms.

Who is the app for?

Any mom at any stage, from trying to conceive to empty nest (and everything in between).

How much does it cost?

Membership is $6.99 per month or $76.89 per year (one month free — 11 months for 12). This keeps the app ad-free and supports ongoing features, meditations, and safety.

There are no in-app purchases — your membership unlocks everything.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, anytime. One heads-up: your membership is billed through our website, not the app store, so you'll manage or cancel it from the link in the confirmation email you got after signing up — it won't show up in your phone's app store subscriptions. Two different platforms, doing two different things.

Do I need a subscription to try it?

Yes, but we offer a free 7-day trial so you can settle in before committing.

What are the meditations?

1 to 5 minute audio resets made for moms and newly redesigned — sorted by how you feel or what time of day it is. Quick tools for rage, guilt, or 3am exhaustion, plus lifts for the good days. Perfect for listening while cooking, driving, or folding laundry.
