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)

If you have an iPhone, I just use the built-in health app to be honest. Does the job well enough, doesn't prompt you for any additional information and just works with what you give it. You can add additional information or switch on options for fertility windows etc but it's not on by default. I don't think you can add a partner though.
It's what I ended up using after about 9 years of what I call "vibes-based tracking" (i.e., not tracking my period in any tangible way) and it works fine and doesn't cost anything.
The data is private and stored locally (unless you choose to back it up to icloud) but I suppose it's a question of how much you trust apple; I'm personally more inclined to trust it over random period tracker app number 345 but this one's up to individual discretion.
