To keep this method of contraception reliable, it's very important to insert and remove the ring at exactly the scheduled times. Ring Reminder alerts you at precisely those moments and lets you know about every upcoming change 24 hours in advance. All of your data is handled discreetly and is available to you alone. What makes Ring Reminder special: • Clear, at-a-glance cycle details • Minute-accurate alerts for your ring change — plus an early reminder 24 hours before • Flexible cycle length: enter how long you want to wear the ring and how long your break should be (recommended: 21+7 days, or 28 days) • Health diary: record your mood, bleeding, how the ring is sitting and other symptoms — with room for a note of your own • History: a clearly structured overview of your cycles, including your notes, that you can manage at any time • Ring supply: get an automatic heads-up when you're running low on rings • Calendar: keep track of your current cycle as well as your past and upcoming ones • Personalization: shape the app the way you like it — upload your own background image or change the app color • Available in 19 languages • Discretion: your data never leaves your phone • Intuitive to use • Free to use, with no ads More features with the Ring Reminder PLUS subscription: • Extra notification: create your own notification with your own text and choose how many hours in advance you want to be reminded • Personalized/anonymized notifications: write your own wording to make notifications more personal — or to anonymize them and throw off anyone who happens to glance at your screen • iPhone calendar integration: sync your ring dates with the iPhone calendar and, if you like, have an iPhone calendar alert remind you as well • Export your history: save your history as a CSV spreadsheet or a PDF document and share it, for example with your doctor • Turn off notifications: switch off the notification you get 24 hours before a ring change Ring Reminder PLUS info: Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Your account will be charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period, and the renewal price will be shown. After purchase, you can manage the subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your account settings in the App Store. We'd love to hear your feedback, so we can keep improving the app and add the features you'd like to see.

When do I insert my birth control ring? When do I remove it? When is my next ring change? Ring - Birth Control Tracker is a contraceptive ring tracker, vaginal ring reminder, medication tracker, and cycle calendar designed specifically for people who use a hormonal contraceptive ring for birth control and pregnancy prevention. It calculates your upcoming insertion and removal dates automatically, so you always know where you are in your current cycle and when your next change is due. No counting days. No wondering whether you forgot to take it out. No missed ring change because life got busy - just more confidence that you’re staying on schedule with your contraceptive routine and using your ring as intended for pregnancy protection. SET UP YOUR RING SCHEDULE Choose how many days you keep your vaginal ring in and how many ring-free days you have, then enter the date and time you inserted it. The app builds your cycle and tracks upcoming changes automatically. Follow a routine of three weeks in and one ring-free week, use your ring continuously with no break, or create a custom contraceptive schedule. If your prescribed routine changes, update it at any time. Because the schedule is customizable, the app can adapt to different contraceptive ring routines instead of being locked to a single fixed schedule. INSERTION & REMOVAL REMINDERS Stay on top of your contraceptive schedule with: • Insertion reminders to help you put in a new ring on time • Removal reminders so you know when it’s time to take it out • Upcoming ring change dates • Current cycle status at a glance Your insertion and removal history is saved, so you can check when you last changed your ring and review previous cycles. CONTRACEPTIVE RING CALENDAR See your complete contraceptive schedule in one cycle calendar: • Days with your ring inserted • Ring-free days • Upcoming insertion and removal dates • Previous cycles • Notes added to individual days BUILT FOR THE BIRTH CONTROL RING A vaginal ring isn’t a daily pill. Instead of adapting a general period tracker, medication reminder, or pill tracker to your contraceptive method, you get a cycle tracker and contraceptive reminder built specifically around the vaginal contraceptive ring. Whether you’re new to hormonal contraception or have used a contraceptive ring for years, it’s one dedicated place for managing your ring routine with confidence. FREE FEATURES • Insertion and removal reminders • Contraceptive ring cycle tracker • Cycle calendar and current cycle overview • Insertion and removal history • Notes for individual days PREMIUM FEATURES • Custom notifications - choose when your reminders arrive and their sound • Home Screen widgets - check your current status without opening the app • Personal diary - keep notes throughout your cycle • Symptom tracking - log bleeding, menstrual symptoms, side effects, and how you feel • PDF report - export your contraceptive history to share with your healthcare provider or gynecologist YOUR DATA, YOUR PRIVACY Your contraceptive tracking data stays on your device and is not shared with third-party analytics services. IMPORTANT Ring - Birth Control Tracker is a reminder, calendar, and tracking tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always follow the instructions provided with your contraceptive ring and the guidance of your healthcare professional. SUPPORT Questions or feedback? Contact us at birthcontrolring@gmail.com.
