Periodical

About this app

This application calculates the fertile days according to Knaus-Ogino and can track menstrual symptoms.

WARNING: It is not recommended to use this calendar to avoid pregnancy! There are more accurate methods, like measuring the basal body temperature.

The data can be backed up on a memory card or "internal" memory, if present.

Ratings and reviews

Private, no frills app; I've used it for years. Being offline and having a neutral color scheme were the primary reasons I chose Periodical over other apps. I personally find it pretty accurate but it depends on your body chemistry. While it does predict your ovulation window I do wish it had a system for actually adjusting the predictions based on user data, like opk test results. I used a different app for a while that did this but came back to Periodical when that one broke.

this app has been so amazing. im really sorry it is being discontinued. i loved that it is free, minimalist, clear, very easy to use and intuitive, i wish the developers well for the future.

Very good app, pretty accurate, has some additional info (mood & symptoms) if you need to track it. No ads, no fees, no cloud storage—it'salmost perfect! I wish there was some kind of password/pin lock, but I can live without. I tried almost all period tracking apps, and I can say this one is of the best. Edit: it's gender-neutral, too, which is a huge thing for myself.
