Root vs Mawu

Traditional sleep apps give you arbitrary scores that often create more anxiety than clarity. Root takes a different path. Built by Slow Bloom Studio, Root is a gentle, non-judgmental dashboard for your Apple Watch health data. We believe in tracking your body's personal baselines, not comparing you to a global average. Root translates complex health metrics into quiet, actionable insights so you can anchor in rest and grow at your own pace. Key Features: - Personal Baselines: Understand your HRV, resting heart rate, and wrist temperature offset against your own 30-day average. See exactly when your body is balanced, elevated, or recharging. - Context Tags: Sleep doesn't happen in a vacuum. Log daily habits (like late screen time, yoga, or a heavy meal) and use the Patterns lens to see how they actually correlate with your night's recovery. - Trends: View 14-day and 30-day moving averages that reveal your body's true seasonal shifts. - Morning Readiness: Wake up to a simple, beautifully designed "Organic Light" dashboard that visually translates your body's echoes into a serene morning greeting. Privacy First All computation is strictly on-device. Root reads your Apple Health data to generate insights, but your data never leaves your iPhone. Deep roots for a slow bloom.

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.
