Free private cycle tracker for partners
Cycles helps men and partners understand the menstrual cycle without claiming certainty. Log an exact date—or simply “on her period now” or “PMS signs”—and get a clear best guess with its confidence left visible.
Based on premenstrual signs noted 11 days ago.
You probably do not know every date.
That is the point.Cycles works with honest signals instead of asking you to invent precision.Works with what you know
Pick the information you actually have. Cycles decides how much to trust it and says so plainly.
What Cycles does
Cycles places the likely start within the period window, then keeps the uncertainty visible.


Honest uncertainty
Cycles never hides the difference between an exact date and an estimate. Three small signals keep the uncertainty readable.
You can tell at a glance when the day is approximate.
Soft signals and irregular cycles widen the window.
No mystery score—just the information behind the guess.
The cycle, in context
The app personalizes the ranges. This 28-day example shows the kind of support that may land well.

Yours alone
Cycle information is sensitive, so Cycles keeps the architecture deliberately small: one iPhone, no account, no analytics.
Profile and cycle data stays in local app storage.
Lock the app when it returns from the background.
Create a portable copy only when you choose.
Remove one profile or wipe everything from the device.

Questions, answered
If the app is making a guess, it should be direct about how and why.
Cycles is a private cycle tracker for partners who want useful context without pretending an estimate is certain. It is especially helpful for men who want to understand menstrual phases, communicate better, and remember information a partner has chosen to share.
Only with their knowledge and consent. Cycles is designed for shared awareness and support, not surveillance. Log only information your partner has chosen to share, and delete a profile whenever that consent changes.
You can log that her period is happening now, note PMS or premenstrual signs, or add a plain note. Cycles weighs each signal differently and shows how uncertain the resulting estimate is.
That depends on what has been logged, how recent it is, and how regular the real cycle is. An exact period start produces a tighter estimate; softer or older information produces a wider range. Cycles shows its confidence and basis instead of presenting every date as exact.
Cycles provides educational cycle context and estimates. It is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, fertility treatment, or contraception method, and its predictions should never be used to decide when unprotected sex is safe.
Profile and cycle data stays on your iPhone. Cycles has no account, cloud sync, or analytics. You can optionally use Face ID, export a copy, or delete everything from the device.
Cycles is free for early users, with no subscription. If a one-time price is introduced for new downloads later, people who already received Cycles for free will keep it free.
Cycles is available on the App Store for iPhone. Use any App Store button on this page to open the listing.
