Your cycle deserves better than a calendar guess. Artemis uses your body temperature to detect ovulation through real biphasic shift analysis, the same method used in clinical fertility awareness, powered by intelligent algorithms that improve with every cycle. What you get with Artemis: - Temperature-based ovulation detection, not just date counting - Cycle predictions that learn your unique pattern and tell you when to expect future fertility windows and menstruation periods - Data stored on device, your data stays yours - Handles irregular cycles, missing data, and anovulatory months gracefully - Anomaly awareness: flag sick days, alcohol, travel, or poor sleep - Takes new and historical temperature from any source connected to Apple Health or manual inputs, or operates with no temperature readings at all - Detailed phase visualizations: see the data underlying your cycle analysis - Interactive temperature chart with phase bands and ovulation days - Smart notifications: period predicted, fertile window, ovulation confirmed Partner sharing (free for partners). Share your cycle awareness with a partner through four granular privacy tiers, from phase-only to full temperature detail. You control exactly what they see, and you can change or revoke access instantly. Your partner gets their own view with phase-specific support tips. Your data stays yours. Period. No developer servers. No accounts to create. No tracking pixels. Your health data lives on your device and in your personal iCloud. We never see it, touch it, or sell it. Who Artemis is for: People practicing fertility awareness. People trying to conceive and people trying not to. People who want to understand their body with precision, not approximation. People who refuse to hand their most intimate health data to a corporation. Subscription. Artemis is free to download and includes a 14-day free trial. After the trial, full access as a primary user requires an auto-renewable subscription. Using Artemis as someone's partner is always free. All features listed above are part of the primary-user subscription unless marked otherwise. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renew in your App Store account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of the free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. There is no ad-supported tier and no data monetization.

Instead of fighting through low-energy days, you get smart suggestions to move demanding meetings to days when your focus and energy peak. WORK WITH YOUR RHYTHM, NOT AGAINST IT Your cycle isn't an obstacle. It's a compass. Menstrual Phase (Winter) Rest and recovery. Reschedule high-stakes meetings.
