About

Dotted

Features
Read full description

Dotted is a calm, beautiful period and cycle tracker that keeps your data completely private — and is genuinely helpful in the moment. Private by design • Everything stays on your phone, encrypted. No account, no servers, no tracking. • No ads. No data selling. Free, always. • Move your data between phones with a passphrase-encrypted backup — nothing ever touches a server. Predictions that adapt to you • Learns your own rhythm from your last cycles — shown as honest ranges, never a fake exact day, and widening when your cycles vary. • Estimates ovulation from your own ovulation tests and cervical-mucus logs, so it doesn't just assume "day 14." • Personal symptom patterns: when cramps tend to hit, when PMS usually shows up. In the moment • A big cramp-relief button with quick, evidence-based relief and craving swaps. • Tap any day to log flow, pain, mood, energy, sleep and more — in one quick screen. • A cycle wheel, a phase-colored calendar, and home-screen widgets. Gentle reminders, your way • Phase changes, period due/late, PMS, fertile window, pill, daily check-in — each toggleable, scheduled locally on your device. Dotted's predictions are estimates, not contraception or medical advice.
