With the stories about data from period tracking apps being shared with law enforcement, I was wondering if there was a self hosted alternative I could host for my daughter. My searches so far have not returned any good results. Thanks!
I wrote a period app for my partner, everything is encrypted and never leaves the device.
It has a option where you can set false passwords, so that if you are being compelled to unlock it, it will get up fake data.
Code is open source: https://github.com/cameroncros/PrivatePeriodTracker

It may not meet your needs, but perhaps worth a look. I am open to adding features (except for ads and tracking obviously).

This is the lord’s work made real right here. Thanking you so much from Texas.
Texas is exactly why I wrote it. I wish my app was a waste of time and no one ever needs it :(
Thats reall nice
Use the one built into iPhones and either encrypt iCloud so Apple cannot read it ( but no way to recover if you forget password) or turn off iCloud sync for health data (you will lose history with new phone).
Or, print out a one page annual calendar and use a pencil.
Drip is a good option. Funded by Mozilla and German Govt
Look into Periodical as well, it’s on fdroid and completely local. It also shows when the next period should be and works better than some closed source apps.
Drip is one of the better options if you want to just download something from your app store of choice. It’s FOSS, requires minimal permissions, and seems to store all data locally.
I’m looking for a good option too. Hopefully someone chimes in with something!
I’ve heard log28 is a good simple app with a local database and without tracking. I haven’t looked at it too closely to verify much. But seems like it hasn’t had an update for a while.
If for some reason self hosting doesn’t work out, try looking into Proton Calendar. Secured, encrypted, and Swiss. They do not entertain subpoenas.
Why do you even need an app? A paper calendar should suffice. Seriously, what function does an app do?
Aside from what the other commenter said, this is something I’m looking for for my daughter and believe it or not she prefers an app.
Also, this is the self hosted community. People self host all kinds of stupid shit. Why are you here?
Besides ease of use and the practicality of having it at hand at all times, these apps show you important stats like longest time between periods, average time between periods, current time since last period. Same with length of period. All useful stats for you, your doctor, and potentially your partner if you’re trying for a baby.
Why not just make a spreadsheet?

All of the functionality mentioned in the comment I replied to is trivial to automate in a spreadsheet with a few manual entries every month.

Eh, fair point. That said, I use a spreadsheet for fitness, so I might be a bit biased.
