Predictions that adapt to you ⢠Learns your own rhythm from your last cycles ā shown as honest ranges, never a fake exact day, and widening when your cycles vary. ⢠Estimates ovulation from your own ovulation tests and cervical-mucus logs, so it doesn't just assume "day 14." ⢠Personal symptom patterns: when cramps tend to hit, when PMS usually shows up. In the moment ⢠A big cramp-relief button with quick, evidence-based relief and craving swaps. ⢠Tap any day to log flow, pain, mood, energy, sleep and more ā in one quick screen. ⢠A cycle wheel, a phase-colored calendar, and home-screen widgets. Gentle reminders, your way ⢠Phase changes, period due/late, PMS, fertile window, pill, daily check-in ā each toggleable, scheduled locally on your device. Dotted's predictions are estimates, not contraception or medical advice.
