Sports, nutrition, date nights, family moments, relationship highs and lows, work stress, social events โ everything that matters to you. Clearly presented in a unique vertical calendar. FOR MEN, TOO. Why are cycle apps always made just for women? Enter your partner's period and alongside it your own life. Because HER cycle has an impact on YOUR relationship life when it comes to moods and libido. So you know what's going on โ for a better mutual understanding. DISCOVER PATTERNS you haven't seen before. When you keep everything in one place, connections become visible. How does your energy change around your ovulation, or your partner's?
