Surrogacy has no app. So you use five.

The most complex, emotional, and expensive path to parenthood — with no purpose-built tool to help you through it.

💬

Fragmented everything

Texts with your surrogate, emails with your lawyer, a portal for your clinic, calls with your agency. Nothing in one place.

🤰

Apps that aren't for you

Pregnancy apps say "your body" and "mama." You're not carrying — you're becoming a parent a different way.

📋

Nobody tells you what's next

Psych evals, escrow funding, parentage orders, birth certificates — in the right order, at the right time. Until now, you figured it out alone.

The app changes as your journey does.

Your Home screen transforms based on where you are. You always see exactly what you need — nothing more.

We built Gest because we needed it.

We went through surrogacy ourselves — juggling five apps, an abandoned spreadsheet, and too many group chats. When state laws changed mid-journey, we had no idea how it affected our agreement.

We built everything we wished we had, so the next family doesn't have to figure it out alone.

— Emma, founder of Gest

She gets her own experience.

Your surrogate isn't an afterthought. She gets her own companion, her own content, and full control over what she shares. She joins free — always.

Common questions

Is this app just for U.S. surrogacy?

Gest supports surrogacy journeys based in the U.S. Intended parents can be located anywhere in the world — the app works across languages and time zones, and your surrogate stays connected from wherever she is in the U.S.

Do I need my surrogate to use the app?

No — the app is valuable on its own for tracking your journey. But it's even better when your surrogate joins to share updates, photos, and milestones together. She always joins free.

Is my data private and secure?

Privacy is core to how Gest is built. Sensitive documents (contracts, medical records) are encrypted on your device before upload. Your AI conversations are yours — your surrogate can't see them, and we don't read them. We never sell your data. A small number of trusted services help run the app (AI, email, analytics) and we disclose each one in our privacy policy. We do not opt in to sharing your data for AI model training.

How is this different from a pregnancy app?

Pregnancy apps are designed for the person carrying. The language, features, and experience assume you're pregnant. Gest is built from the ground up for intended parents — the language speaks to you, the features solve your problems, and the AI understands your unique journey.

What about same-sex couples and single parents?

Gest is built for every path to parenthood through surrogacy. The app never assumes your family structure, your gender, or your relationship status. Whether you're a couple or a single intended parent, the experience adapts to you.

What does the AI companion do?

Ask it anything about your surrogacy journey — what to expect this week, how to navigate a conversation with your surrogate, or what happens after your baby is born. It's like having an experienced friend who knows the process and what comes next. The AI companion isn't a lawyer and doesn't provide legal advice.
