    Why the heck do these companies send your period data to their servers? Period trackers are just data entry apps that calculate the average durations of an entered database of period events. There are no ‘advanced functions’ that need to be done on offsite servers.

    A good open-source option where period data stays on-device is drip. For those interested in syncing period data to a self-hosted server, this video is a nice guide.

      The Silicon Valley attitude of collect now, monetize later, and maybe secure eventually is why. Every one of these people thinks they can make some AI that magically make their app and your life better.
