Never miss your birth control pill again, and let someone you trust have your back. Pilly is a simple, private birth control pill reminder with one thing no other app has: if you forget a dose, your partner can be notified. Because contraception is something you can carry together. WHY PILLY • Daily pill reminders that actually reach you, with follow-ups if you miss a dose • Partner alerts: your partner is notified only if you forget. You choose to link, and you can unlink anytime. • Streaks & history: see your consistency at a glance • Private by design: only you and the partner you choose ever see your data NOT A TRACKER, A REMINDER Pilly isn't a fertility or period tracker. It does one job and does it well: helping you take your pill on time. PRIVACY FIRST Your data stays between you and the partner you choose to link. Nothing is ever sold. Pilly is a reminder and organiser. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice — always follow your prescription and your doctor's guidance.

About

Loopa

Features
Read full description

Never lose track of your contraceptive ring again. Loopa sends insistent reminders for insertion and removal, shows a live countdown widget, and keeps a history you can actually edit. Built for people who use the vaginal contraceptive ring and want a private, reliable, set-and-forget reminder, not a generic pill tracker. WHY LOOPA • Insistent reminders: a heads-up the day before, alerts that repeat and escalate on the day until you confirm, and daily follow-ups if you are late. One missed notification never means a missed ring. • Countdown widget + Live Activity: see the days until your next insertion or removal on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Dynamic Island. • Forgot? Stay calm: a guided protocol tells you exactly what to do for the week you are in, based on official usage rules. • Editable history: fix any past date in seconds. No more being stuck with a wrong entry. • Cycle stats: your on-time rate, current streak, and average delay at a glance. • Track what matters: bleeding and spotting, symptoms, mood, and free notes on any day. • Smart extras: a supply reminder two days before your next ring, and a discreet position check the day after insertion. FLEXIBLE FOR YOUR REGIMEN • 21 days in, 7 days out (default) • Continuous use (28 days, no break) • Fully custom durations YOUR CYCLE NEVER LEAVES YOUR IPHONE Everything you log stays on your device: no account, no sign-up, no ads. Your health data is never sent to us, and a private iCloud backup restores your history on a new iPhone. Loopa only collects anonymous usage statistics and your subscription status. APPLE WATCH Reminders mirror to your wrist with Confirm and Snooze actions, so you can respond without reaching for your phone. SUBSCRIPTION Loopa Pro unlocks the full app with a 3-day free trial, then an auto-renewing yearly subscription (the exact price in your currency is shown in the app and on the App Store). • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Terms of Use: https://0xcssh.github.io/loopa-legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://0xcssh.github.io/loopa-legal/privacy.html Loopa is a reminder and tracking tool. It does not provide medical advice and is not a substitute for guidance from your healthcare provider.
