With the stories about data from period tracking apps being shared with law enforcement, I was wondering if there was a self hosted alternative I could host for my daughter. My searches so far have not returned any good results. Thanks!

    Besides ease of use and the practicality of having it at hand at all times, these apps show you important stats like longest time between periods, average time between periods, current time since last period. Same with length of period. All useful stats for you, your doctor, and potentially your partner if you’re trying for a baby.

        Why not write everything down on paper, by that logic? Why not just memorize everything? Why not communicate exclusively in grunts?

          All of the functionality mentioned in the comment I replied to is trivial to automate in a spreadsheet with a few manual entries every month.

            Not really, that’s like saying that a fitness spreadsheet is the same as something like MyFitnessPal. It might offer a lot of the same data, but the UX will be entirely different and the ease of use is much lower for someone who is used to an application-based experience.
