MENSTRUAL CYCLE & MOON - Log period start and end dates in seconds, and backlog past cycles too. - Adaptive predictions learn from your history — the more you log, the sharper your next-period, ovulation, and fertile-window estimates become. - A day-by-day phase ring shows exactly where you are in your cycle. - Swipe to a moon view that tracks the lunar phase alongside your cycle. - A full-year calendar map and a cycle-vs-moon chart reveal your patterns over time. - An optional, gentle reminder before your next predicted period. WATER - Track every sip against a daily goal with a playful animated tumbler. - One-tap quick-add buttons you can customize. - Hydration streaks and pace-aware reminders that nudge you only when you fall behind. - Optional, write-only sync to Apple Health. - A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget with one-tap logging. MOVEMENT - A simple daily yes/no workout streak with a weekly goal. - A 16-week heatmap so you can see your consistency at a glance. PRIVACY FIRST - All your data is stored only on your device. There is no Tending account and no server. - No analytics, no ads, no third-party tracking. - Lock the app behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. - Your cycle data never leaves the app. The only optional sharing is water to Apple Health — off by default and write-only.
