Life stage

A period tracker that shows the whole cycle

Tap once when your period starts. Add flow, cramps or a bad-mood day if you want. After a few months you can see how long your cycles really run, and when your next period is likely.

The short answer

A cycle runs from the first day of one period to the day before the next. The NHS gives 28 days as the average and calls 21 to 40 days common.

Logging the first day of each period is enough to see your own pattern. Her Good Days turns those dates into cycle lengths and an estimated next period, shown as a range of days.

What you can log

In the app, a woman with regular cycles usually sees these five in her Log menu, and can pin or hide any of them:

Log itemWhat it records
PeriodStart and end days
Flow or spottingLight, medium or heavy, and spotting between periods
Cramps and PMSCramps, bloating, headaches, tender breasts, and how strong
MoodOne tap, any time of day
SleepBedtime, wake time and how rested you feel
The Log menu for Jess, 31, with regular cycles: Again, Mood at 8:10 AM on top, then Period, Mood, Cramps and PMS, Sleep, Energy and stress, and More
Period leads the Log menu for regular cycles.

Water, weight, meals and a journal sit under More.

How the next-period estimate works

The app averages your recent cycle lengths and counts forward from your last period. When your cycles vary, the estimate becomes a wider window, and the app says so. Reviewers of other trackers often complain that predictions miss irregular cycles, so we show the range instead of a single confident date.

Track, then Cycle: the day of your cycle and a Log button.
An estimate only. A predicted period date cannot tell you when you can or cannot get pregnant. Do not use it as birth control.

Is my cycle normal?

The app does not judge your cycle. It shows the numbers, and a doctor is the right person to read them. The NHS suggests seeing a GP if your periods suddenly change, are very heavy, last longer than 7 days, or stop when you are not pregnant. Severe pain that stops you doing everyday things is also worth an appointment.

The doctor report lists your period dates, cycle lengths and logged symptoms on a few pages.

Questions

How long is a normal menstrual cycle?

The NHS says the average cycle is 28 days, and that anything from 21 to 40 days is common. Yours can also vary from month to month.

Can I use the period predictions as birth control?

No. The app shows an estimated next period from your past cycles. It cannot tell you when pregnancy is unlikely, and it should never be used to prevent one.

Is the period tracker free?

Yes, with full history, charts and the doctor report. There is no premium tier and no trial.

What if my periods are irregular?

Keep logging the first day of each period. The estimate widens to a range when your cycles vary, and the cycle-length chart shows the spread, which is useful to bring to a doctor.
