A period tracker that respects your privacy — by design. Your cycle lives on your phone and in your private iCloud. We can't see it. Neither can anyone else. No accounts, no logins — and nothing you log ever leaves your phone. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - On-device cycle predictions following FIGO 2018 medical guidelines - Lock Screen Live Activity — day-of and days-from your cycle, at a glance - Home Screen widgets in three sizes - Two-way Apple Health sync — one source of truth - Multi-profile support — track yourself and a partner, kept separate - Partner sharing via secure iCloud CALM BY DESIGN - No notification spam — at most one gentle nudge a day, suppressed on days you've already logged - No bright colors, no urgency, no exclamation marks - Dark and light mode, both done right PRIVACY, BY THE NUMBERS - Zero third-party trackers - Zero advertising SDKs - Zero crash-reporting middlemen — only Apple's own MetricKit - Anonymous, opt-out usage analytics — disable in Settings → Privacy For everyone tired of period apps that treat their body as a data set. Dew is free. The privacy promise is the product. — A note: Dew shows when your period is expected. It does not diagnose conditions or replace conversations with a doctor. Dew is general wellness — not a medical device. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://trydew.app/privacy

Lose weight your way. No login. No ads. Total control. LeanPlan has the simple mission of being frictionless to use. No account required. No subscription. No cloud. TRACK CALORIES & MACROS THE RIGHT WAY Log every meal in seconds. Search our database of thousands of foods, scan barcodes, or create your own custom recipes. LeanPlan shows your daily calorie ring, protein, carbs, and fat breakdown in real time. SEE YOUR REAL WEIGHT TREND Daily scale readings lie. Water weight, glycogen, and sodium can swing your reading by 1–2 kg overnight. LeanPlan uses an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) algorithm to smooth out the noise and show your actual fat loss trend over time. CALCULATE YOUR TRUE TDEE Most apps guess your calorie target using a generic formula. LeanPlan does it differently. By correlating weeks of your actual food logs with your real weight change, LeanPlan calculates your empirical Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). Use it to set a smarter, more accurate calorie goal. SYNCS WITH APPLE HEALTH & APPLE WATCH Grant optional HealthKit access and LeanPlan automatically: • Pulls your latest weight from Apple Health or a Bluetooth scale • Imports your Apple Watch active calories and adds them to your daily budget • Writes manual weight entries back to the Health app All HealthKit data stays on your device. Always. PLAN YOUR MEALS ACROSS THE WEEK Set flexible calorie budgets across Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks. View your entire week at a glance. Spot patterns. Adjust targets. Build habits that stick. 100% PRIVATE. LOCAL-FIRST. LeanPlan stores everything in a fast SQLite database on your iPhone. We have no servers. We see none of your data. Ever. Deleting the app deletes everything — we hold nothing. No account to create. No email address required. No tracking scripts. No ads. WHAT'S INCLUDED • Daily calorie & macro tracking with a progress ring • Barcode scanner • Custom food and recipe builder • EMA weight trend chart with goal line • True TDEE calculator (28-day rolling window) • Micronutrient panel (Fiber, Sugar, Sodium, Saturated Fat) • Apple Health & Apple Watch integration (optional) • Weekly meal budget planner • Monthly calendar heat map • No account, no login, no cloud sync
