## What is Mela?

Mela is the period tracker that keeps everything on your phone.

- See your whole cycle: calendar with fertile window, ovulation and next-period predictions
- Spot your patterns: symptoms, mood and cycle predictability over time
- A one-tap PDF report you can take to your doctor
- Private by design: no account, no cloud, no ads, and your data never leaves your iPhone
- Breathe through the rough days: guided box breathing for cramps and PMS

WHAT YOU CAN TRACK
- Period start, end, flow, and pain
- Sex and protection
- Orgasms
- 14 symptom categories
- Weight and notes

WHAT MELA GIVES BACK
- A calendar with phase markers, fertile window, and ovulation
- Predictions for your next period
- Reminders before your period, ovulation, and regular check-ins
- Insights: cycle predictability, repeated symptom patterns, logging streaks
- Home screen widgets for your next period and current phase
- Quick logging in three taps
- An inbox for reminders you have already received, so a missed notification is not a lost one
- Breathing: a guided box-breathing exercise for cramps, PMS days, and winding down
- Siri: say "Log my period in Mela", hands-free
- Apple Health: reads the basal body temperature and menstrual flow you already keep there. Mela only reads, and writes nothing back.
- Light, dark, and system appearance with multiple themes

YEAR IN REVIEW (PRO)
Twelve months on one card: activity by month, your best month, logged days, and a weight trend. Your year, told gently.

SWITCHING APPS
Moving from another app? Import a full backup, or start fresh. If you are switching from another cycle app, you can bring your history into Mela in one step, so years of logs come with you with no re-entry. You can also bring your history back from a Mela doctor report PDF: the file you saved carries it inside, so a report doubles as a backup. Everything stays on this device unless you choose to import it.

PRO FEATURES
Mela Pro is a subscription: yearly with a 7-day free trial, or monthly. Pro unlocks:
- Year in Review with cycle variability and best-week analysis
- A one-tap PDF report for your doctor: calendar, cycle lengths, intimacy, ovulation, and weight, print-ready
- Pattern notes: calm observations from your own data
- Chart export for sharing, privacy-aware with no dates by default
- The full set of themes and background gradients
No ads. There is nothing to sell, because nothing is collected.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

PRIVACY BY ARCHITECTURE
Many cycle apps keep your data on their servers, behind a policy promise. Mela is built differently: no server, no analytics SDK, no advertising network. Your data is stored only on your iPhone, with iOS file protection, so even other apps cannot read it. Mela cannot leak what it does not collect, because the data never leaves your iPhone.

LANGUAGES
English and Russian.

REQUIREMENTS
iPhone, iOS 17 or later.

Mela is not a medical device and is not contraception. Predictions are estimates from your own data, not medical advice. For medical decisions, talk to a clinician.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-20

Import your period history back from a Mela doctor report PDF, exactly as it was saved.
The bell is now an inbox: the reminders you received are kept, so nothing gets missed.
When your period is late, Home says how many days late it is instead of naming a phase that already ended.
Smaller fixes in Settings and on the subscription screen.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-11

When your period is late, Home and the widget now show the honest cycle day and how many days late you are. A missed expected period is drawn with a dotted outline on the calendar, so the picture stays truthful. Saving an entry works reliably on the first tap, tapping the Calendar tab again returns to the current month, and the protection toggle now starts from your recent habit. Faster and smoother across Home, Calendar and Insights.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-08

Mela Pro is simpler now: a monthly plan and a yearly plan. Plus small improvements.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-31

- Breathing: a guided box-breathing exercise for cramps, PMS days, and winding down.
- Reminders now support exact times, hours and minutes.
- Siri: "Log my period in Mela" works in English and Russian.
- A deeper, quieter dark theme.
Bug fixes and small improvements.

We do not collect analytics, so we will not know what to improve unless you tell us. Reviews and email feedback shape every release.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-14

Optional Apple Health connection (Pro): reading your temperature refines the ovulation estimate. Mela can also suggest adding menstrual days it finds in Apple Health but not yet in Mela, and you decide with one tap. It is read only, nothing is written back, and everything stays on your device.

The app is also easier to read: text now scales with your system Text Size and looks larger and clearer, with higher contrast for small text and support for Increase Contrast and Reduce Motion. Bigger tap targets, a refreshed bottom bar, clearer charts, and a more readable cycle report. Numbers and weight now follow your app language, and a new Release Notes screen in Settings shows what changed.
