Sixteen Bundesländer. Dozens of Ämter. Deadlines nobody tells you about.

Having a baby in Germany is a paperwork marathon: the Anmeldung, the Vaterschaftsanerkennung, the Geburtsurkunde, Mutterschutz, Elternzeit, Elterngeld, Kindergeld, the Steuer-ID letter that arrives weeks later, the Krankenkasse registration for the baby.

Each one has its own office, its own form, its own window, and rules that change from one Bundesland to the next. Miss a deadline and you can lose hundreds of euros.

Nobody hands you a checklist when you leave the hospital. I learned about the eight-week Elterngeld deadline from a Reddit thread, three days before it expired.

Quietly thorough about the rest.

Deadline engine

Every task is anchored to your due date, the birth, or the end of Mutterschutz. Reminders fire a week and two days before.

Truly bilingual

Every official German term sits beside a plain-language explanation, so you understand it and can say it at the counter.

Week by week

Weeks 4 to 42 with baby development, your body, size comparisons, and a gentle weekly tip in both languages.

Shared lists

Hospital-bag and baby-gear lists you can hand to your partner and tick off together as the date approaches.

Data Not Collected the App Store Connect answer

Built like a calm folder of paperwork, on your side.

German bureaucracy is exhausting because it is unfamiliar, not because it is unsolvable. StorkBuro is the patient friend who already knows the forms, the offices, and the order.

  • One-time purchase. No subscription. No advertising.
  • No third-party SDKs. Apple frameworks only.
  • Your pregnancy details and scanned documents stay on your device, and in your own iCloud once sync ships.
  • Every German bureaucratic term always appears in German, because that is what the Amt will ask for.

Built by a parent who went through it. It is the app I wish I had handed my partner the day we found out.
