About Cara — Private Period Tracker
CARA: YOUR CYCLE, YOUR PHONE, YOUR CONTROL Track your period and cycle with absolute privacy. Cara is a period and menstrual cycle tracker that stores every piece of your data locally on your iPhone—never on servers, never in the cloud, never sent anywhere. WHY CARA Most period tracking apps harvest your data. They sell anonymized insights to pharmaceutical companies. They track your moods, your health patterns, your fertility window. They show you ads. Cara is different: it's an appliance, not a platform. Your cycle data belongs to you. PRIVACY FIRST • Zero cloud storage. All data stays on your device. • Encrypted at rest. AES-256 encryption via SQLCipher. • No servers. No accounts. No sign-up. • No analytics. No tracking. No ads. • Optional biometric lock. Face ID or Touch ID protects your entries. • Delete instantly. Uninstall = full data deletion. No recovery, no backup—your choice. TRACK WHAT MATTERS • Menstrual flow and symptoms (cramping, mood, energy, headaches, spotting, etc.) • Ovulation and fertile window predictions (calendar-based; not medical advice) • Cycle length and pattern tracking over months • Custom tags for your health patterns • Simple, glanceable calendar view • Day-by-day insights without judgment BEAUTIFUL DESIGN Cara's interface is calm and focused. An animated ocean-wave background shifts through six daily phases—night, dawn, morning, midday, sunset, dusk—creating an ambient, breathing experience. Your cycle data uses a soft color language: coral for menstrual, teal for follicular, lavender for luteal. No gamification. No artificial streaks or badges. Just your data, clearly presented. WHAT'S NOT IN CARA • No account creation • No cloud sync • No ads or sponsored content • No AI summaries shipped to servers • No premium tier or paywall • No third-party data sharing • No health claims or medical advice PERMISSIONS & YOUR DATA Cara requests biometric permission only if you enable Face ID or Touch ID. No location access. No microphone. No camera. No contacts. No calendar integration (your cycle lives only in Cara). EXPORT & BACKUP Your data is yours. Export your full cycle history as CSV anytime. No vendor lock-in. FREE. FOREVER. Cara is free, with no in-app purchases and no premium features. Your privacy isn't a tier—it's the entire product. Built for people who want to track their cycle without being tracked. Cara is health tracking for humans who believe data privacy is not negotiable. Need help?
