A friend was asking, and it would be nice to have one or two to recommend.

Bonus if it’s on Google Play in addition to Fdroid, but not necessary.

Some recommendations in these threads:

Some discussion on apps (including non-FOSS) here:

Leading Recommendation from the comments

The leading recommendation seems to be Drip (bloodyhealth.gitlab.io)

Summarizing what people shared:

  • accessible: it is on F-droid, Google Play, & iOS App Store
  • does not allow any third-party tracking
  • the project got support from “PrototypeFund & Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the Superrr Lab and Mozilla”
  • Listed features:
    • “Your data, your choice: Everything you enter stays on your device”
    • “Not another cute, pink app: drip is designed with gender inclusivity in mind.”
    • “Your body is not a black box: drip is transparent in its calculations and encourages you to think for yourself.”
    • “Track what you like: Just your period, or detect your fertility using the symptothermal method.”

    so i have no uterus so i can’t seriously test it but there is

    1. Mensinator https://github.com/EmmaTellblom/Mensinator it’s on fdroid and playstore, it’s actively maintained and has 41 stars on github it is private and local and it reads like you put it in the calender when you have your period and it gives you some statistics

    2. drip, its on android (fdroid and gplay) and ios and actively maintained, local and private. you can put in data like bleeding, temperature, cervical mucus, mood and some more. it seems to additionally give you reproductive information in the statistics https://bloodyhealth.gitlab.io/ it’s website suggests that it is financially supported by Mozilla which is cool.

    again i can’t really test these but after some clicking around, drip seems to have more features and better support

      Thanks for looking into that! I’ve edited the post (and the other meme post) with Drip as the recommendation, and I included your points :)

      Also drip seems to be supported by the German ministry of education and science. Usually Germans rank privacy rather high in importance. So I think that speaks in favor of it too.
