About

Mawu

Features
Read full description

Mawu is a private period tracker built around one idea: your cycle data is nobody's business but yours. No account. No cloud. No tracking. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. Every entry — period dates, symptoms, notes — stays on your device. Always. There's no server to leak it, no company to sell it, no "anonymized" dataset to be re-identified later. Delete the app and the data is gone with it. WHAT YOU GET • Cycle calendar with phase predictions • Period and symptom logging • Insights into cycle length, regularity, and patterns • A clean, distraction-free interface WHO IT'S FOR You, if you've ever closed a period tracker because it asked you to create an account, accept marketing emails, or share data with "trusted partners." You, if you've ever hesitated before logging something honest because you didn't know where it would end up. WHAT'S NOT IN MAWU • No accounts • No login • No subscriptions • No ads • No analytics • No social features • No "AI insights" trained on your body Just a period tracker. The way it should have always been. Questions or feedback? Email contact@dougandrade.com — it goes directly to the developer.
