A period tracker with no ads, no tracking.
If an app is free and full of ads, something has to pay for it. With cycle data, that trade is worth understanding before you accept it.
How free cycle apps usually make money
Advertising pays per impression, so ad-supported apps need attention and targeting. Targeting needs data about you, which is collected by advertising and analytics kits built into the app. Those kits can transmit identifiers and behaviour to companies you've never heard of. The more an app knows about you, the more each ad is worth.
That model sits awkwardly with menstrual data, which can reveal pregnancy, fertility treatment or illness.
What "no tracking" should mean
- No advertising networks in the app at all.
- No third-party analytics kits watching what you tap.
- No advertising identifier and no "Ask App Not to Track" prompt, because there is nothing to track.
- Nothing sold or shared with data brokers.
On the App Store, you can check this yourself: a listing shows Data Used to Track You when an app tracks across other companies' apps and websites.
How RhythmHer is funded
RhythmHer is planned as a paid subscription — $9.99 per month with a 7-day free trial when it launches — so the person paying is the person using it. There are no ads, no advertising networks and no third-party analytics or tracking kits in the app.
The companion RhythmHer Partner app is separate and billed separately. Neither app is available to buy yet.
