The information you enter never leaves your phone. CareDays is for boyfriends and husbands who want to be a steadier, more thoughtful partner. Each day it gives you one small, concrete act of care matched to where she likely is in her cycle — a message to send, a meal to make, a moment to protect. It is not a period tracker and not a health app: it is about you showing up well. Built to be used openly. CareDays works best when you set it up together with her — it exists to support her, never to monitor her. WHAT YOU GET • Today's care — one thoughtful idea every day, with a gentle reminder at a time you choose • A phase guide written for partners — what may be happening, how she may feel, how to support her, and when the good moments for a conversation or a date tend to be • Her Profile — her favourite foods, drinks, small gifts and the ways she likes to receive care, so the ideas become personal • Heads-up reminders before a new phase or her period, so you can plan a calmer week • A full library of original care ideas for every phase, written in warm, everyday language PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no cloud. Cycle dates, Her Profile and your settings are stored encrypted on this phone only, and you can delete everything with one tap in Settings. FREE AND PREMIUM The daily idea, the daily reminder and the phase overview are free. CareDays Premium unlocks Her Profile and personalised ideas, a second idea each day, the full library, the deeper guide (what to avoid, difficult days, insights) and the heads-up reminders. • 7-day free trial • Monthly or annual plan • Cancel anytime Every person is different. The cycle is a guide, not an explanation — the best way to know what she needs is to ask her. CareDays offers educational and relationship support, not medical advice; all dates and phases are estimates. If symptoms seem unusually severe or persistent, please encourage her to speak with a healthcare professional.
