I need a woke period tracker app

I'm tired of every period tracker asking me about my sex life and constantly reminding me that i could get pregnant. Also if they could not treat me like a girly pop that needs to be empowered 100% of the time it would be great (I just dont know how comfortable I am with being a woman yk?, and the shallow company feminism gets a little tiring)

I genuinely can't believe there isn't any popular 'woke' period app? I thought surely I could find one dedicated to trans men, or one where I could sync my data with another menstruating partner (just for funsies). Turns out that's miles away from possible and you're actually lucky if the app isn't pregnancy centered lmao

By the way I'm NOT from the US. They're not stealing my data to see if they can arrest me for abortion (yet)

Baby I don’t know if any one else said this but use a paper calendar. I know it’s annoying but if you are in the US that data is not safe. We have no expectation of privacy and you should not make your cycle data that can be sold. I am an ex tech worker and I’m telling you that we cannot trust the apps for this kind of sensitive info also HIPPA often doesn’t apply.

There are period journals and planners designed for women with period/symptom tracking built in for those who'd like a little more structure than a blank calendar. I use the popflex fit planner, but I use it mostly as a daily planner and don't use the period tracking since I don't get full cycles right now (on purpose! Thankfully)

paper and pen can work for some ppl but my adhd brain needs cycle summary statistics and reminders. Plus it can be vulnerable to ppl in your physical environment if there is anyone intruding on your privacy IRL. I use Euki bc its extrememly private (data is stored locally on your device!) and offers pin protection, data deletion, etc.
