Period Tracker

Read full description

Bloom tells you when your next period is coming, when your fertile window opens, and which phase you are in today โ€” and keeps every answer on your phone, where only you can see it. Most period trackers ask for an account, an email, and permission to study your cycle. Bloom asks for nothing. Log your flow in a tap, and Bloom learns your rhythm from your own history, predicts the month ahead, and surfaces the patterns in your symptoms and mood. No sign-up, no cloud, no ads. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข Know the day your next period is due, with a live countdown from your own average cycle โ€ข See your fertile window and ovulation day in advance, so the month never surprises you โ€ข Understand which phase you are in right now with a calm phase ring and a one-line guide โ€ข Spot the symptoms and moods that return every cycle, ranked by how often they show up โ€ข Learn how regular you really are: average cycle, average period, and a full cycle history โ€ข Get a gentle heads-up the morning your period or fertile window is predicted to begin PERFECT FOR โ€ข Anyone who wants to stop guessing when their period will start โ€ข Planning ahead for trips, workouts, and big days around your cycle โ€ข Trying to conceive and wanting a clear view of the fertile window โ€ข People who refuse to hand their cycle data to an app company WHY NOT JUST USE A BIG-NAME TRACKER? The well-known apps are built around accounts, community feeds, and data collection. Bloom is built around a single calendar, a quick log, and a clean insights page. Open it, log the day, see what is next, and close it. Your history stays on your device, and the app stays out of your way. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything you log โ€” flow, symptoms, mood, notes โ€” is stored only on your iPhone. There is no account to create, no server that receives your entries, and no analytics tracking. Reminders are scheduled on-device too. You can erase everything with one tap in Settings. Bloom is a personal tracking tool, not a medical device. Predictions are estimates based on your logged history and should not be used for contraception or medical decisions. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical concerns. FULL ACCESS Bloom is a premium app. Choose a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase, to unlock unlimited cycle history, predictions, fertile window and ovulation forecasts, and full symptom, mood and flow insights. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Download Bloom and log today's flow โ€” your first prediction appears the moment you do.

About

Orla

Read full description

Orla keeps your menopause record on your iPhone. No account, no sign-in, nothing to be locked out of. Before an appointment it turns what you logged into one dated PDF: every symptom, every HRT dose, with the dates. 7 days free, then a monthly or yearly plan. Cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. A RECORD THAT STAYS YOURS There is no account to make and no password to forget. Everything you log is stored on this iPhone, and you can delete a single entry, or all of it, from Settings. An app update does not ask you to sign in again. LOG WHAT YOU FEEL, WHEN YOU FEEL IT Hot flashes, night sweats, trouble staying asleep, mood changes, brain fog, joint pain, palpitations, vaginal and urinary changes, low libido, skin and hair changes โ€” 30+ symptoms in all. Pick the symptom, pick how strong it was, and Orla fills in the time. Even at 2am. EVERY HRT DOSE, WITH ITS DATES Log hormone therapy properly: type, dose and route (patch, gel, spray, tablet and more), plus supplements. When your dose changes, Orla keeps the old one on a dated timeline instead of overwriting it, so the record shows the dose you stopped and the dates it ran, not only what you are on today. That history is exactly what a clinician asks about. PERIODS, OR NO PERIODS Periods in the transition get irregular, skip, or stop โ€” and plenty of people are not cycling at all. Orla logs whatever is actually happening without forcing a "cycle" frame on you. In the first questions you can answer "Stopped altogether" or skip the cycle question entirely, and nothing in the app changes. No cycle to log is a first-class experience here, not a broken one. SEE APPLE HEALTH ALONGSIDE YOUR NOTES With your permission, Orla can read wrist temperature, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and sleep from Apple Health and show them next to your own entries. Read-only โ€” Orla never writes anything back to Health. THE PDF, IN FULL Pick a date range and Orla builds the document: how many days each symptom was logged and at what severity, your HRT and supplement timeline with every dose and the dates it ran, and every period and spotting entry with its dates and the gaps in between. It is dated, it has your name on it, and you can bring it, print it, or email it ahead. A PLAIN-LANGUAGE LIBRARY 20 short, readable articles on what is happening during the transition and the ways HRT is commonly taken โ€” written in plain English, so you walk in informed. NOTHING TO SELL YOU BUT THE APP Orla sells no supplements, runs no clinic and carries no advertising. It gives no advice, no scores and no interpretation โ€” it records what you tell it and shows it back to you. No ads, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs touching your health entries. Your data is never sold. โ€”โ€”โ€” Orla is a record-keeping tool, not a medical device, and does not diagnose or give medical advice. โ€”โ€”โ€” SUBSCRIPTION Orla is a paid subscription with a 7-day free trial. $9.99/month or $49.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID 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. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. Privacy Policy: https://legal.tjbventures.ai/privacy.html ยท Terms of Use: Apple Standard EULA
