A period tracker that respects your privacy — by design. Your cycle lives on your phone and in your private iCloud. We can't see it. Neither can anyone else. No accounts, no logins — and nothing you log ever leaves your phone. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - On-device cycle predictions following FIGO 2018 medical guidelines - Lock Screen Live Activity — day-of and days-from your cycle, at a glance - Home Screen widgets in three sizes - Two-way Apple Health sync — one source of truth - Multi-profile support — track yourself and a partner, kept separate - Partner sharing via secure iCloud CALM BY DESIGN - No notification spam — at most one gentle nudge a day, suppressed on days you've already logged - No bright colors, no urgency, no exclamation marks - Dark and light mode, both done right PRIVACY, BY THE NUMBERS - Zero third-party trackers - Zero advertising SDKs - Zero crash-reporting middlemen — only Apple's own MetricKit - Anonymous, opt-out usage analytics — disable in Settings → Privacy For everyone tired of period apps that treat their body as a data set. Dew is free. The privacy promise is the product. — A note: Dew shows when your period is expected. It does not diagnose conditions or replace conversations with a doctor. Dew is general wellness — not a medical device. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://trydew.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Re at none against Dew's 3. Re also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18). Dew's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 32 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Dew sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Re asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Re against 5.0 for Dew. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dew has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Re ships an update every 32 months, Dew every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
