With the stories about data from period tracking apps being shared with law enforcement, I was wondering if there was a self hosted alternative I could host for my daughter. My searches so far have not returned any good results. Thanks!

    Why do you even need an app? A paper calendar should suffice. Seriously, what function does an app do?

      Aside from what the other commenter said, this is something I’m looking for for my daughter and believe it or not she prefers an app.

      Also, this is the self hosted community. People self host all kinds of stupid shit. Why are you here?

      Besides ease of use and the practicality of having it at hand at all times, these apps show you important stats like longest time between periods, average time between periods, current time since last period. Same with length of period. All useful stats for you, your doctor, and potentially your partner if you’re trying for a baby.
