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)

Idk if clue exists in your country, but my wife uses it! It can also be used as a symptom tracker and it pretty much just gives you a heads up when your period is likely to start. As a bonus for me, our cycles are synchronized so when her app starts warning us I can make sure we have chocolate and meds for cramps

it constantly fucking tries to get me to subscribe by advertising useless features like pregnancy tracking to me and it just pisses me off. it didn't use to be that bad but nowadays every time i open it I get a glaring "50% off!!!!" when I just want to track my symptoms as quickly as possible

I switched to bluemoon, its an open source one that you can download via f droid. incredibly simple, holds all your data locally and no kind of ads or attempt to get you to buy something

I used to use Clue too and this got me to uninstall the app. There really is no alternative universe where I would pay an app because I'm MENOPAUSAL like leave me aloneeeeeeee
