Velora is a private period and cycle tracker that keeps your data where it belongs—on your phone. No account. No cloud. No sign-up. Your most personal information never leaves your device. In a world where reproductive data is bought, leaked, and subpoenaed, Velora takes a different path: everything you log is stored locally and can be locked behind Face ID or a passcode. We can't see your data. No one can. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — - No account required—open the app and start tracking - All data stored offline on your device only - Optional Face ID / passcode lock, on by default - No analytics on your health data, ever - Export or import your data locally whenever you want — TRACK YOUR FULL CYCLE — - Log period days and flow intensity in seconds - Predicted next period with a days-until countdown - Fertile window and ovulation estimates (clearly labeled estimates) - Cycle phase at a glance on the Today dashboard — DAILY LOG & SYMPTOMS — - Cramps, mood, headache, energy and more - Temperature, notes, and intimate activity (optional) - Tap any calendar day to view or edit your logs — INSIGHTS THAT MAKE SENSE — - Average cycle and period length - Regularity trends over time - Clear charts—no jargon, no pressure — CALENDAR VIEW — - Monthly overview of periods, predictions and fertile windows - Symptom dots and ovulation estimates - Gentle, calming design built for daily use — REMINDERS, LOCAL ONLY — - Get a heads-up before your next period - All notifications are scheduled on-device—no servers involved — BUILT FOR PEACE OF MIND — Velora is designed in calm lavender tones to feel quiet and reassuring. It works fully offline, in 6 languages (English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese), and never asks you to sign in. IMPORTANT: Velora provides estimates for informational purposes only. It is not a contraceptive method and does not provide medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical decisions. Your cycle is yours. Keep it that way—with Velora.
