Do I need to create an account?
No! Cyclea works without any account creation. All your data is stored locally on your device, so you can start tracking right away without sharing any personal information.

✨ Features & Usage
What can I track with Cyclea?
Cyclea lets you track:
- Period start and end dates with flow intensity
- 20+ symptoms (cramps, headaches, bloating, acne, and more)
- Mood states (happy, sad, energetic, anxious, etc.)
- Basal body temperature for fertility tracking
- Medications and supplements
- Personal notes and observations

How accurate are the predictions?
Cyclea uses advanced algorithms that learn from your unique cycle history. Predictions become more accurate as you log more cycles. For regular cycles, predictions are typically accurate within 1-2 days. However, cycle predictions are estimates only and should not be relied upon as a method of birth control.
Can I edit or delete past entries?
Yes! Simply tap on any date in the calendar to view, edit, or delete entries for that day. You have full control over all your logged data.
How do I set up reminders?
Go to the Reminders tab to set up notifications for:
- Period start (get notified before your period begins)
- Ovulation window alerts
- Medication reminders
- Doctor appointments
You can customize the timing and frequency of each reminder type.
🔒 Privacy & Security
Is my data private and secure?
Absolutely! All your health data is stored locally on your device using encrypted storage. We never transmit your personal health information to our servers. Your data stays on your device and is protected by your device's passcode or biometric authentication.
Do you share my data with third parties?
No, never. We don't sell, rent, or share your personal health data with anyone. Cyclea is built with privacy as a core principle – your menstrual health information is completely private.
Can I sync my data across multiple devices?
Currently, Cyclea stores all data locally on your device for maximum privacy, which means data doesn't sync between devices. You can backup your data through your regular iPhone backup (iTunes or iCloud device backup).
What happens if I delete the app?
If you delete Cyclea, all your local data will be permanently removed from your device. Make sure to backup your iPhone before uninstalling if you want to preserve your data.
🏥 Health & Medical
Can I use Cyclea for birth control?
No. Cyclea is a tracking tool, not a contraceptive method. The app's predictions are for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon to prevent pregnancy. Always consult your healthcare provider for reliable birth control methods.
Can Cyclea help me get pregnant?
Cyclea can help you understand your cycle and identify your fertile window, which may be useful when trying to conceive. However, it's not a medical device and predictions are estimates. For conception planning, please consult with your doctor or a fertility specialist.
My cycle is irregular. Will Cyclea work for me?
Yes! While predictions may be less accurate for irregular cycles, Cyclea can still help you track symptoms, identify patterns, and monitor your health. The more data you log, the better the app can adapt to your unique cycle patterns.
Should I share my Cyclea data with my doctor?
Absolutely! The tracking data and insights from Cyclea can be very helpful during medical appointments. You can show your doctor your cycle history, symptom patterns, and any concerns you've noted in the app.
Is Cyclea a medical device?
No. Cyclea is a health tracking tool designed to help you monitor your menstrual cycle. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult qualified healthcare professionals for medical decisions.
