Mama Bloom is a private cycle journal. It keeps your record on your iPhone — there is no account, no server, no ads and no tracking — and it tells you the truth about forecasts: a period is predicted as an honest range, never a fake-precise date. Log flow, pain, sleep, mood, energy and symptoms in seconds. The living record organizes every cycle you keep; Insights show the evidence behind every statement, so you can check the app's work; the Learn library explains cycles calmly, with visible sources and clear boundaries. Privacy, by architecture: the record is protected by iOS Data Protection, the optional widgets are discreet by default, the app can lock behind Face ID, exports leave out intimate categories unless you choose otherwise, and an optional sealed backup lives in your own iCloud, encrypted on your device with a key Mama Bloom never has. One action deletes everything, including the backup. The optional Private Edition subscription adds cycle-to-cycle comparison, forecast memory and guided visual editions. Payment is handled by the App Store; prices are shown before you confirm. Mama Bloom is a wellness journal: a record for reflection, not a medical decision and not contraception. It shows no fertile-window or ovulation estimates, and forecasts can be wrong — when a health decision matters, talk to a professional.

Read full descriptionHide full description
PMDD, tracked with the seriousness it deserves. Lunaire PMDD Tracker & Diary is a private, offline symptom diary for people living with premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Log luteal-phase mood crashes, rage, anxiety, physical symptoms and cycle patterns. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Mood — low mood, rage, anxiety, hopelessness, irritability • Sleep quality & insomnia • Energy & fatigue levels • Physical symptoms — bloating, breast tenderness, cramps, headaches • Brain fog, concentration, cravings and appetite shifts • Period dates, flow and spotting — so your luteal pattern is visible • 24 built-in symptoms in total • Supplements, and whether you took them • Food, drink and exercise by type and intensity • Weight (kg, lbs or st), blood pressure, pulse and temperature • Appointments and daily notes, with reminders Every symptom and exercise is rated on a simple five-point scale — you can log the same symptom or exercise multiple times a day. Many people live with more than one condition, so you can add symptoms of your own and hide the ones you don't use — the lists end up matching you. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN • No accounts. No sign-up. Open the app and start logging. • No cloud. Your data lives in a local database only you control. • No ads. Ever. No tracking. No analytics. • Works fully offline. PDF REPORTS Generate a clean PDF of your cycle-mood pattern and symptom severity — share it with your doctor, gynecologist or psychiatrist in one tap. BUILT FOR PMDD, NOT PMS PMDD is not "bad PMS", and most period apps lump them together and miss the pattern. Lunaire PMDD Tracker & Diary keeps your mood log and your period log side by side, so the luteal drop becomes visible from your first full cycle. FREE • Symptom, mood, period, food, exercise and supplement logging • Up to three entries per symptom per day • Calendar view • Weight, temperature and blood pressure • Appointments • One week of trends and charts • Your complete history, always browsable • Backup and restore to a file you keep • Light, dark and AMOLED themes, plus an in-app language picker PREMIUM • Trends over one month, three months, a year or all time • PDF reports • CSV data export • Twelve entries per symptom / exercise per day • Your own custom symptoms and exercises, plus hiding the ones you don't use • Supplement and appointment reminders • A personalized home screen • Eight food and trigger correlations instead of three Track PMDD — privately.
