Health Companion — Cycle, Heart Rate & Daily Wellbeing Track your menstrual cycle, measure your heart rate with your phone camera, and get daily guidance grounded in your own numbers. Everything works offline; an account is optional. CYCLE TRACKING & PREDICTIONS Log your period and get predictions for your next cycle and fertile window. Predictions adapt to your own history — the more you log, the closer they get. A calendar view shows logged and predicted days at a glance. HEART RATE FROM YOUR CAMERA Place a fingertip over the rear camera and flash for 30 seconds. Alongside beats per minute you get heart rate variability (RMSSD and SDNN), breathing rate, and stress, energy and heart score estimates. Your resting rate is the median of your last 7 days, so single readings never skew it. DAILY AI GUIDANCE Personalised suggestions each day for exercise, nutrition, hydration, activity and wellbeing — built from your recent readings, cycle phase and logged habits, not from generic advice. A daily health highlight points to the one number that most deserves your attention. ASK AI Ask health questions in plain language and get short, practical answers in your own language. The assistant explains what symptoms generally relate to and points you to a professional when something needs real assessment. DAILY HABITS & SELF-CARE Record 10 daily measures: sleep, water, exercise, pain, energy, stress, caffeine, alcohol, steps and weight. A daily self-care list picks 4–6 items from 16 — movement, nutrition, rest and mind — and tracks your streak. DIARY, MOODS & SYMPTOMS Keep a private journal with 6 moods and 5 common symptoms, plus flow intensity and free-form notes. INSIGHTS & DOCTOR-READY REPORTS Charts of cycle length, period duration and heart metrics over time. Export a PDF health report to share with your doctor. SHARE WITH A PARTNER Invite one partner and choose exactly which data they can see — periods, diary, measurements, self-care or habits. You can revoke access at any time, and they only ever get read access. REMINDERS & HOME SCREEN WIDGET Set reminders for measurements, self-care, water and your period, or create your own. An iOS home screen widget shows your latest reading and cycle day. LEARN 32 articles and 20 medicine references covering heart health, cycles and wellbeing — all available in every supported language. 13 LANGUAGES English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Thai, Filipino and Indonesian — including articles and daily guidance, not just menus. YOUR DATA Everything is stored on your device and the app works fully offline. Cloud sync and sign-in are optional; use the app without an account if you prefer. Partner sharing is off until you turn it on, limited to what you choose, and revocable. IMPORTANT Camera-based readings are wellbeing estimates, not medical measurements. This app cannot diagnose or treat any condition. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical advice.
