Maré is a simple, private-by-default period tracker. Your data stays on your device. If you want to sync across devices, you create an account — and even then your entries are encrypted before they leave your phone. Add a secret phrase for an extra layer, and choose whether support can help you recover it: turn recovery off and the encryption is end-to-end, so not even we can read your entries. WHAT MARÉ DOES • Visual calendar with real, predicted, and estimated fertile days • Next-period prediction from your history • Quick logging of flow, symptoms, and mood • Cycle history with average and range • Reminders for upcoming and late periods REAL PRIVACY • Your data stays on your device; cloud sync is optional • Encrypted sync, always — with optional end-to-end protection you control • Sign in with Apple or Google only to sync • We don't sell your data, and the app shows no ads • Export or delete everything anytime HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT DOES Predictions are estimates based on your history. Maré is not a contraceptive method and does not confirm ovulation or pregnancy. SUBSCRIPTION Maré Plus unlocks the app after a 30-day free trial. It's an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, billed to your App Store account; the price is shown on the subscription screen and you can cancel anytime in Settings.

About

My Cycle Tracker

Features
Read full description

My Cycle Tracker is the period calendar that tells you, at a glance, which phase you're in and what comes next. Log your period once and the app learns from your body: the more you track, the better it predicts. Built to make sense without a manual, and without making you feel judged. YOUR CYCLE AT A GLANCE What day of your cycle you're on and which phase: menstrual, follicular, ovulation or luteal. How many days until your next period, and a heads-up when it's late. Pregnancy mode to pause predictions and reminders. A CALENDAR THAT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE Period, prediction, fertile window and ovulation, each with its own color and shape. Add or remove period days right on the calendar: if this month lasted three days instead of five, you fix it in two taps. Long-press a day to correct the start or end of your period. Years of history. LOG YOUR DAY IN SECONDS Mood, pain level, migraine and menstrual flow. Energy, sleep quality and hours slept. Physical symptoms like cramps, headache, backache, bloating, breast tenderness, acne, nausea and fatigue. Emotional symptoms like anxiety, stress, mood swings, insomnia and sensitivity. Weight, basal body temperature, exercise, medication and free notes. FIND YOUR PATTERNS The length of every one of your cycles compared month over month, and how your mood and your pain shift across the cycle. Your averages for days per cycle and period days. A flag when something falls outside your usual range, so you can bring it up with your healthcare provider. A REPORT FOR YOUR DOCTOR Export your history as a PDF and share it over WhatsApp, email or wherever you like. Walk into the appointment with data instead of memory. LEARN ABOUT YOUR BODY Short, clear guides on cycle phases, what a "normal" cycle looks like, ovulation and the fertile window, period pain, PMS and when it's worth seeing someone. Informational content based on medical sources. YOURS AND ONLY YOURS Lock the app with your fingerprint or Face ID. Your data syncs to your account, so you get it back if you switch phones. You can delete your account and your data whenever you want, from the app. REMINDERS ON YOUR TERMS Alerts for your period, your fertile window and your daily log. At the time you choose, or not at all. Available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. My Cycle Tracker is an informational period tracking app. It is not a contraceptive method and not a medical diagnosis. If you have any concerns about your health, talk to a professional. SUBSCRIPTION My Cycle Tracker Pro is an auto-renewable subscription: • Monthly — USD 4.99 per month • Yearly — USD 29.99 per year (works out to USD 2.49 per month) Both include a 7-day free trial. Prices are in US dollars and are charged in your currency at your store's rate. Payment is charged to your Apple account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple account settings.
