Congrats on the launch! Since this is on Google Play Store I want to ask why is it not viable with user's consent to just sync app data with your own(user's) Google account? I understand (and support) the reluctance to register and save data in some third party server which likely will use or sell your data but isn't app data in your Google Account very safe? Google App Backup is basically storing user data in their…
I love this! I created a digital watch that also tracks your cycle with no app (Immi Watch) - basically, we added extra screens that tell you key info about your cycle (what day you're on, when your next period is due to start, avg cycle length). I had really similar pain points to you, just wanted something simple and private. We're actually now doing a desktop version of what you've done! Would be amazing to connec…
(And unfortunately this is also fairly sensitive data in some regions...)
Sounds like paper would suffice. The risk of data leaking via the cloud is near zero.
I’d like to post a different sort of off-topic comment. As someone who’s married to a brilliant programmer and has a daughter almost a year old, thank you for showing a public example of simply being a woman in tech. We don’t plan on shoving our daughter in front of an editor from a young age — we have no expectations of her, and she’s free to be whoever she wants to. But one reason my wife didn’t get into programmin…
Great idea, especially since many popular cycle tracking apps have a bad rep of sharing data eagerly with Facebook and other entities. One thing though: I know it's popular in these apps to show the cycle as a "clock face", but if you think about it, this is a weird representation, because of the variations in cycle lengths (of natural cycles not changed by contraceptive hormones). So, if one cycle is 26 days long an…
Many no longer have a choice as to whether to turn their data over to law enforcement who may use it to deny lifesaving medical care. (Florida briefly tried to make reporting periods mandatory for student athletes, too, but that fortunately failed)

Fathom Analytics offers a straightforward, privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics. Unlike Google, which collects extensive data to build detailed user profiles (read the link for details), Fathom uses a variety of techniques such as hashing to anonymize data, ensuring it cannot be traced back to individuals. Their approach complies with major privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA, removing the need for intrusive c…
Or check the plethora of great GA alternatives like: Plausible Piwik Pro Simple Analytics Wide Angle Analytics Pirsch Umami etc. https://european-alternatives.eu/category/web-analytics-serv...
If they value transparency in how tools work and possibly require some customization, Plausible’s open-source platform could be more suitable. Both offer strong privacy practices.
Each of the others you list also offer flavor variety: Piwik Pro for comprehensive, regulation-compliant analytics; Simple Analytics and Wide Angle Analytics for straightforward, cookie-free tracking; Pirsch for performance-sensitive server-side implementations; and Umami for developers who prefer open-source solutions with full control over their data.
Rather than going into depth on all that, we've found recommending Fathom is the simplest thing that can possibly work for someone just getting visitor and campaign info off their web home page, very fire and forget, read the weekly emails.
If that's ever not enough, the others do have their places.
