# MaMile

> MaMile matches moms at the same stage of motherhood — trying to conceive (TTC), pregnancy, and postpartum — into a small **pod** and moves them through a gentle **6-week Reset together**: same stage, same start, one short daily walk and a check-in. Around that pod is a phone-only walking & running tracker that reframes the "win" as showing up consistently at your own stage and pace, not speed, distance, or personal records. Native iPhone app; no wearable required; free **14-day trial** of a paid membership called MaMile Club. No pace shaming, no leaderboards, no streaks, no bounce-back pressure.

## What it is
- Category: health & fitness — a walking/running habit tracker + community built specifically for mothers.
- Audience: women who are trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum (typically first year after birth).
- Platform: iOS / iPhone (App Store). Phone-only by design — uses only the iPhone's sensors; no smartwatch, heart-rate strap, or other wearable needed.
- Core idea: a pod of moms at your exact stage, moving through a gentle 6-week Reset together — identity and consistency over performance. "Today counts — at your pace, at your stage."
- Signature program (the heart of MaMile): the **Reset** — a 42-day (6-week) cohort pod of ~15–20 moms at the same stage who all start the same Monday and move through it together, guided by a host with one gentle daily prompt; then graduate and keep the pod or join a fresh cycle.

## How it works
- Set your stage (TTC / pregnant with due date / postpartum with weeks since birth); plans, prompts, and pods adapt.
- Track gentle walks and runs (route, distance, time, steps) with the phone in a pocket or stroller; runs in the background.
- Log how it FELT: perceived effort (RPE) + an optional morning self-check on energy, mood, and sleep — instead of biometrics/zones.
- Join a pod: a small group (~15–20 moms) at the same stage, all starting the same Monday; encouragement only, plus real-world stroller meetups.
- Do a Reset together: MaMile's 42-day (6-week) cohort program — your pod starts together and moves through it as a group, guided by a host with one gentle prompt each day, then graduates together. No scoreboard, no attendance.
- Share the walk, not the pace: a finished walk can be shared with your pod or friends — no leaderboards or pace comparisons.
- Build the habit with stage-based plans and honest empty states — a missed day is met kindly, and there are no streaks to break.

## How it's different
- Built only for moms (TTC / pregnant / postpartum), not a general-audience fitness app.
- Measures effort by feel (RPE + self-check), not heart-rate zones or wearables.
- Small same-stage pods and encouragement instead of leaderboards, kudos-for-pace, or public PRs.
- Explicitly rejects: pace shaming, "bounce back" / "snap back," weigh-ins, calorie guilt, and streak-shame.
- It is NOT a medical device, a weight-loss program, or a performance/training app for racers.
