Read full description

MoodMap is cycle-aware relationship intelligence for men—one private daily read for better timing around support, conversation, restraint, and intimacy. Built around your partner’s menstrual-cycle context, MoodMap shows what changed, what matters now, what may carry more weight, what to avoid, and the cleaner response available to you. Set the cycle once, then read today or move through the full cycle day by day. It is built to improve your timing—not to explain, label, or manage your partner. INSIDE MOODMAP • Today’s State — cycle day, phase, cycle-based capacity, hormone context, friction risk, and a concise Daily Brief. • Full Cycle Calendar + Intelligence — read any day and connect biological shifts with possible effects on energy, sensitivity, connection, and pace. • Practical Protocol — PLAN, READ, BOND, and SELF guidance, with a WHY layer behind each move. • Risk Radar — catch likely tripwires before a valid issue becomes a timing problem. • Timing Alerts — optional notifications for PMS, the fertile window, and estimated ovulation timing. • Personalization — adjust cycle length, period length, tone, appearance, language, and notification time. Some features, including full Protocol access, deeper WHY insights, and Timing Alerts, require a MoodMap Premium+ subscription. CONTEXT FOR HIS RESPONSE. NOT A VERDICT ON HER. MoodMap provides cycle-based context, not certainty. It does not record or monitor your partner’s actual mood, and it does not judge or score her. Cycle context never explains the whole person and does not replace direct communication, consent, or what you know about your relationship. MoodMap uses cycle-based estimates and modeled context; it does not measure hormones. It is educational relationship-timing guidance—not medical advice, diagnosis, contraception, fertility planning, or a substitute for professional care.
