Privacy-Friendly Period Calendar and Pregnancy Tracker App (iOS)
This project aims to develop a native iOS application that serves as a comprehensive period calendar and pregnancy tracker. Inspired by leading apps like Clue, Flo, PregLife, Pregnancy +, and Stardust, the application prioritizes user privacy, offering end-to-end encryption and open export formats for data portability. The app will allow users to track their menstrual cycles, symptoms, ovulation, and pregnancy progress. It will feature intuitive design, personalized insights (stretch goal), and secure data management (stretch goal), ensuring that sensitive health information remains private and secure.
You need macOS and iOS devices to work on this project. If not possible, we can consider using Flutter or react-native.
Objectives
A user-friendly, private-by-design, and published iOS app that allows users to track cycles, birth control, medication, symptoms, ovulation, and pregnancy progress.
Stretch goals:
- App provides personalized insights (starting with cycle prediction and ovulation)
- App stores the data in encrypted format
- Data can be backed up automatically, ideally encrypted (iCloud Drive or similar)
- Data can be exported in open formats
- User can opt-in to authorize anonymized data collection
Motivations
Most apps today are collecting a lot of identifiable data, used for marketing or profiling purposes, or worth, for prosecuting women that are looking for abortion options, fertility options, or else. We believe all humans have a right to privacy in that regard.
In general, whether it's for personal health or because you are looking to conceive or are currently pregnant, we want to offer you peace of mind and the data needed to make informed decisions about your health.
