Your cycle data belongs to you. Not us. Not advertisers. Not anyone. Period or Not is the period tracker built for people who value their privacy as much as their health. How it works: Log your period Get smart cycle & bleeding duration predictions Export your data anytime (Backup & Restore) Sync to Apple or Google calendar (optional) Why we're different We went Full Local. Your data lives 100% on your device. We don't have servers, and we don't have a database of your cycles. Unlike usage of "secure cloud storage" in other apps, we chose Zero Cloud. Nothing leaves your phone unless you export it. No analytics or behavioral tracking No data selling (we literally can't, we don't have your data) Built by a woman, for women. This isn't a VC-backed data harvesting machine. It's an indie app made by someone who actually uses it and gives a damn about your privacy. In a world where period apps have made headlines for privacy breaches, we built something different. Your health data is yours. Period.

About

halé

Read full description

hale is a breathing guide stripped to its essence — one screen, one rhythm, five quiet minutes. follow the box breathing pattern: inhale, hold, exhale, hold — four seconds each. the word on screen rises and falls with your breath, stretching as you inhale and settling as you exhale, so you can simply watch and follow. gentle haptics rise and fade with each phase, so it works even with your eyes half-closed. behind it, a slow, cinematic fluid drifts and glows in the dark — calm to rest your gaze on. • box breathing — inhale 4s, hold 4s, exhale 4s, hold 4s • a focused five-minute session • breath-synced motion and haptics • a living, animated background • dark, portrait, full-screen — nothing to configure hale asks for nothing. no account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking — and no data ever leaves your device. it works fully offline. breathe. (hale is for relaxation and general wellbeing. it is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice.)
