Cycle Companion planned
Most cycle trackers are built for the person whose cycle it is. Cycle Companion is built for the man beside her: a husband, a partner, a father who wants to understand what her body is going through and respond with care.
It estimates where she is in her cycle, explains what that phase usually means, and suggests a way to help. The aim is a more patient and attentive man, not a better set of dates.
Overview
Many men were never taught how the menstrual cycle works and have learned by trial and error. The cycle has four phases, and her energy, comfort and mood often change from one to the next. Cycle Companion names each phase in plain language and says what is likely happening physically and emotionally. Each description comes with a practical, kind suggestion for how to help.
The four phases
The cycle is longer than the period. The bleeding days are only the first of four phases, and each one tends to feel different. These summaries come from the guidance in the app.
| Phase | Typically | A way to help |
|---|---|---|
| Menstrual | Her period has arrived. Energy runs low, and cramps and tiredness are common. | Offer warmth and comfort: a heating pad, a warm drink, or a cozy blanket. |
| Follicular | Her period has eased and her energy is returning. Her mood often lifts. | Say yes to plans and shared activities she seems excited about. |
| Ovulation | An egg is released, and these are the most fertile days. She may feel outgoing and energetic. | Make space for quality time and genuine connection together. |
| Luteal | Her body winds toward the next period. She may feel more sensitive, tired or low. | Be patient and steady, and give her extra reassurance. |
A sample of the guidance
This is the wording the app uses for the luteal phase.
After the release of an egg, progesterone rises and then falls if no pregnancy begins. In the later part of this phase her body is winding toward her next period, which can bring premenstrual changes.
She may feel more sensitive, irritable, or low, and may want more calm and reassurance. These shifts are a normal part of the premenstrual stretch.
Listen without rushing to fix, and let her know you are on her side.
Features
- A calendar by phase. Each day is colored by phase, with a legend. Days near a change of phase are striped, and a dashed ring marks an uncertain ovulation day, so the app shows what it does not know.
- A daily view. The dashboard shows the current phase, what is likely happening, and a way you can help.
- Notifications you control. Choose guidance daily, weekly, or only when the phase changes. Optional notes can give notice before a period and remind you to update your entries. You set the time of day and the weekdays, and nothing is sent unless you turn it on.
- Whatever you know. Record period days, morning temperature, or observations. The estimate works with what you have and gets firmer as you add more.
- Estimates that explain themselves. The app shows how confident it is and what the estimate is based on. It also says what to record to make the estimate firmer.
- Backup on your terms. Save your data to an encrypted file that you keep and protect with a passphrase. Restore it on a new phone when you need to.
Privacy
In the free version, everything stays on your phone. There is no account to create, no cloud service and no ads. The app does not ask for permission to use the network, so it has no way to send your data anywhere. Backups are files that you create and hold.
