My Cycle Tracker
Read full descriptionHide 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.

Steady

Steady is a symptom and trigger diary for people living with one or more chronic conditions — the kind where symptoms move for no obvious reason, and the appointment is fifteen minutes long. Half a minute a day. Score how you felt, tick what happened. After a few weeks there is enough in the record to check whether anything you log lines up with how you feel — and when there is not enough, Steady says so plainly instead of inventing an answer. WHY THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT It is easy to build a tracker that announces your top trigger after a week. It is also easy for that answer to be water, because you drink it every day and there was nothing to compare against. Steady will not do that. Before it compares anything it needs at least ten days where a factor was present and ten days where it was not. It checks same day, next day and two days later separately, and corrects every comparison together, so that testing many things does not manufacture a result by luck. Until a pattern clears that bar, the Patterns screen shows you how close each one is and nothing more. WHAT YOU CAN RECORD • Any symptoms you choose, 0 to 10, named in your own words — pain, fatigue, brain fog, headache, nausea, dizziness • Factors — food, sleep, weather, stress, anything you want to test • Flares: a spike at noon that eased by evening, kept as its own event • Medications with reminders, including weekly, every-other-week and on/off cycle schedules • Period days, if you turn cycle tracking on • Sleep, resting heart rate, heart rate variability and steps from Apple Health, if you allow it (read only) • A note for whatever the numbers do not capture • Days you missed. You can fill them in later, and gaps stay gaps — nothing is smoothed over FOR THE APPOINTMENT The doctor's report is one page: how each symptom ran over the period, how closely you kept to your medication, and any association that held up — with the method stated, so a clinician can judge it rather than take it on trust. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER There is nothing to sign up for. Your record is on this iPhone and nowhere else — not on our servers, because there are none. Save a backup whenever you like; the file is yours to keep and yours to move. BOUGHT ONCE, NOT RENTED Everything you record is free and stays free: every score, the calendar, the charts at any range, reminders, backups and CSV export. Pro is a single one-time purchase — no subscription, and no trial to forget to cancel. It unlocks the full analysis and the doctor's report. The strongest pattern in your record is free as well. COMING FROM ANOTHER TRACKER Export a CSV and bring it with you. Steady shows you every symptom and factor it found in the file and asks what each one is before writing anything, and importing only adds — nothing already in Steady is overwritten. Two years of history is two years the analysis can start from. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文 and 繁體中文. Steady follows your iPhone's language, and you can pick another one just for Steady in iOS Settings. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Steady describes what is in your own record. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and it does not tell you what to do about what it finds. A pattern is a question worth asking your clinician, not an answer. Never start, stop or change a medication because of something the app shows you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Steady at none against My Cycle Tracker's shown. My Cycle Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
