Dotted is a calm, beautiful period and cycle tracker that keeps your data completely private ā 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 ā nothing ever touches a server. Predictions that adapt to you ⢠Learns your own rhythm from your last cycles ā 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 ā 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 ā each toggleable, scheduled locally on your device. Dotted's predictions are estimates, not contraception or medical advice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Herflow at none against Dotted's 3. Herflow also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). Dotted's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
