Make room for the details of your day. Log period dates, flow, symptoms, mood, energy and strength sessions. Add a quick note, then return to any day in the calendar to see what you recorded. Optional summary features require lilCycles Plus. Choose a provider and check availability before starting: Apple Intelligence requires a compatible device with Apple Intelligence enabled and its model ready. If you configure a local model server, review the information before sending it. For on-device generation, review the draft with its linked entries. Review server responses before using them. Your daily log remains available when summary generation is unavailable. Privacy controls let you withdraw consent and delete lilCycles app data. Copies in Apple Health, Calendar, model servers or exported files stay under their respective controls. lilCycles is for wellness reflection and planning.
