feelings - A period tracker with nothing to leak

by
Every other period app uploads your most private data to a server. feelings doesn't have one. No account, no cloud, no analytics, your cycle is encrypted and stays on your phone. Nothing to sell, nothing to leak. Track flow, moods, symptoms. Read past notes from yourself. Get honest predictions (never more certain than the data allows). Export a clean PDF for your doctor. Pay once, $14.99. No subscription. Your body isn't a revenue stream.

I almost talked myself out of this one. A period tracker? The category's crowded. But the same thing kept bothering me: these apps ask women for the most private data they have, then send it somewhere else to live. A server. A partner. An ad network. After 2022, a lot of people figured that out and deleted them. They were right to. So the problem was never tracking. Tracking is solved. The problem was trust. My first instinct was to treat privacy as a feature — encrypt the sync, write a nice policy. Then it hit me: the only way to truly keep a promise is to make breaking it impossible. So I took the server away. feelings has no account, no cloud, no analytics. What you log is encrypted and never leaves your phone. I can't sell it, leak it, or hand it over, because I don't have it. And you pay once, $14.99 - charging monthly for access to your own body felt wrong, so I didn't. But privacy is just the reason to try it. Here's what makes it different to actually live in: Letters: when a cycle ends, feelings writes you a short note from your own words that month. You open it the morning your next period starts. Mail from the version of you who lived the last 28 days. I've never seen another app do this. Four selves: your cycle isn't one mood, it's four people. feelings names them from your real data (the Stormcaller, the Spark, the Sovereign, the Oracle) and shows what each one needs. Rename them. They're yours. Your bloom: track a year and one flower grows, cycle by cycle. A picture of a year you lived, not a streak counter guilting you. Moonside - your cycle laid over the phases of the moon. It's not science and I won't pretend it is, just an older, quieter way of locating yourself in something bigger than an app. The doctor document: one tap turns six months into a clean PDF for your appointment. I call it "for when you need to be believed." Anyone who's been waved off in an exam room knows that moment. Lab reading: add a photo or PDF of a blood test and feelings pulls out ferritin, hemoglobin, vitamin D and trends them next to your cycle. All on your phone. Most trackers ignore your bloodwork entirely. Honest predictions: when you're irregular, the window widens instead of lying to you with one confident date. No fake precision. It's live today. Use it, try to break it, tell me what's missing. I'm reading every comment.
