About

Mawu

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.

Most period trackers make money from your data, or store it on servers that can be breached, sold, or subpoenaed. Haven is built the opposite way: your information stays on your phone. PRIVACY THAT'S A FACT, NOT A PROMISE No account. There's nothing to sign up for, and nothing for us to hold. No network. Haven makes no internet requests — your logs have nowhere to go. No trackers. No analytics, no advertising SDKs, no third parties. On-device intelligence. Reflections are generated by Apple's on-device AI. Your entries are never uploaded. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO TRACK Log flow, symptoms, mood, and private notes in seconds. See your current cycle day and a clear prediction for your next period. View a fertile-window estimate for awareness. Browse your history on a calendar that reveals your patterns at a glance. Lock everything behind Face ID, and back up to a passphrase-encrypted file only you can open. REFLECTIONS THAT STAY PRIVATE Haven Premium unlocks gentle, on-device reflections drawn only from your own history — patterns surfaced quietly, without a server ever seeing your data. Tracking itself is free, forever. Haven is a tracking and awareness tool. It does not provide medical advice and is not a form of contraception. — Haven Premium is an auto-renewable subscription. Haven Premium — Annual: $39.99/year (a one-time Lifetime purchase is also available) Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
