WHAT RHYTHMUS DOES β€’ Cycle and period calendar: log your period, see your cycle day and phase at a glance, with estimated ovulation and fertile window β€’ Nutrition plan: meals and nutrients matched to your current phase – omnivore, vegetarian, vegan – with a shopping list β€’ Training plan: workouts scaled to your intensity and training days, logged set by set β€’ Supplements: which nutrients matter in which phase β€’ Daily energy check-in: feeling low, and the app suggests a gentler session β€’ Weekly overview, symptom diary, cycle statistics from your own history WHO IT IS FOR For women who train and notice that the same session feels easy one week and impossible the next. Menstruation, follicular phase, ovulation and the luteal phase each ask for something different β€” Rhythmus takes that into account.
