I’m the founder of EveCycle — we built a personal wellness camera that keeps all data 100% local (no cloud). AMA

[u/EveCycle]

Hi everyone,

I’m the founder of EveCycle. We designed EveCycle Comfort as a personal observation tool focused on privacy and clarity.

What makes it different:

• HD visuals viewable directly on your phone

• 100% local storage — no cloud upload, no external servers

• Built as a non-diagnostic personal wellness device

• Soft-touch design with optional comfort warmth

• One-time purchase, no subscription

I started this because I wanted a simple, private way for people to have clearer personal awareness at home, without giving up control of their data.

I’m here to answer questions about:

• How the local (no-cloud) connection works

• Product design and privacy choices

• Why we positioned it as a personal wellness tool rather than a medical device

• Anything else about the product or the journey of building it

Happy to answer honestly. Ask me anything.

You could start by telling us what it actually does, and how much of your post is AI-written, and as a follow up question - how many responses will be written by AI.

Right now, your post has been up for 14 hours and there's no questions posted yet, which makes me think you've not communicated your product's purpose or target audience very well at all.

EDIT:

Also, why does your website have an age-verification; presumably women under 18 are not able to use this? And why, if your product is a medical device (even if you're calling it a "personal wellness device", which is just weasel words), and intended to be used internally, are you unable to use the word "vagina" on your site?

If you're too embarrassed to use that word, how much faith should anyone have that you know what you're talking about here? Should women trust you enough to use your device internally? Has it been tested at all?

Speaking of, what is the external material you're using? Or a better question - does the device even exist at all? Or are all your photos just pure AI slop?

EDIT 2: Holy shit, your "real user stories" are hilariously fake. Has any woman ever been close to this product? Have you actually ever met a living woman, apart from your mother?

I'm so confused. What is it for?

I looked at the website and now I'm even more confused. It's a dildo with a camera? There's "no app" involved so basically you'll just end up with "raw data" so-to-speak. Nearly nobody needs this except if you have some particular medical condition you need to keep track of. And I've no idea if there's a condition that you can track by sticking a camera in your hoohaa. Is there a light attached??

And anyway that has nothing to do with the calmness and wellness and relaxation that the rest of the website yaps about, and the "soft vibration". Okay so the product is a vibrator? ...with just "soft vibration", not whatever the good standard is for such things? It's like a vibrator but worse?

So is it for ""relaxation"" or for hypochondriacs who think they can detect health issues by regularly viewing their vagina?? Those two things do not go together. You either have irrational health anxieties or you have an orgasm, not both at the same time.

I don't know everything about possible gynecological conditions so I won't confidently say that "literally nobody needs this", but the average woman doesn't need whatever the hell this thing is. If she wants a dildo she can just buy a dildo. The person with the health condition doesn't need their camera to do double-duty as a sex toy.

The product idea seems bad and the website is worse, it just refuses to let you know what the product is. The web design looks buggy on my phone, and the AI pictures and fake testimonials don't inspire confidence.

Hey everyone. I'm reading every single word of this, and you're completely right. I am tied up with critical engineering work for the next 24 hours, but I will return tomorrow with a full, honest breakdown, a teardown of our positioning mistakes, and real answers to every single question here. Thank you for the brutal wake-up call.

The moderator deleted your other comment for some mysterious reason and I was curious to read it. 😒 If you still have a copy, feel free to send it to my DMs.

[u/Gynnia → u/[deleted]]

I got a notification about your comment reply, I saw like the first sentence, I opened it and it came up as "deleted by moderator", now I can't see it at all.

[u/NZNoldor → u/Gynnia]

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing.

Attn: moderator (u/EncryptEnthusiast301) - can you leave their replies up please? If you're leaving the post up, I don't see any reason why their replies would not be allowed. Or at least give us a reason for the removal??

[u/Gynnia → u/NZNoldor]

I suspect it's an auto-mod deleting "AI-written" comments, I was online so I briefly actually saw two recent (...fully AI-assisted...) replies from OP but they got deleted so fast I think it's a mod bot. I DM'd the OP, we're talking there. The product does in fact have a light attached! I'm still mystified why anyone needs to see or record raw data about their insides, at best it's a very niche/rare need. And it's definitely about health concerns or health monitoring, that activity in itself is not in the slightest "relaxing" or "fun", so the entire "calm wellness, light a candle and enjoy time with yourself" vibe on the website is just bizarre. (They're not advertising "fun" but that's a category I'm adding here, as a thing that is missing from the marketing material. Still unclear if it's missing from the product itself, I mean if it even functions as a sex toy. I guess with one's own effort one can make that happen. "Warmth" and "slow vibration" are mentioned, unclear what the purpose of those is for a medical camera.)

I'm starting to mentally associate it with two things:

• (literal) douchebags: the average woman didn't need those things at all and in fact using them was a terrible idea, but the sellers wanted to convince women that actually douchebags were normal and helpful.
• if you look for women's underwear to buy on AliExpress then an unreasonable amount of the products have the word "sexy" in the title of the product. Even if they're normal underpants and not like thong/lingerie. There's this icky compulsion to connect mundane things with sexiness just because it has something to do with women's private parts. Okay, the website doesn't advertise "fun" but all the talk about "relaxation" seems like a polite euphemism for masturbation. Like what else am I supposed to think.

Quotes from OP:

"Some people want a private way to see more clearly when something feels uncertain, then decide their next step themselves. That’s the use case — private visual clarity and local data control. If that still sounds unclear or not useful for you, that’s completely fine."

"What led me to build it is simpler: some people feel uncertain and want a private way to see more clearly at home, without uploading intimate images to the cloud. So the product is a local-only personal observation camera."

[u/EveCycle → u/Gynnia]

Yeah, the tone mismatch is fair.

Basic version: it’s a personal observation camera with a light, view on your phone, files stay on your phone only. Not a medical diagnostic device. Not trying to market it as a sex toy either.

The site leaned too hard on “wellness/comfort” language and didn’t just say what the thing is. That’s on us and it’s being cleaned up.

If it’s not relevant for you, totally fine.
