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!

Why do you even need an app? A paper calendar should suffice. Seriously, what function does an app do?

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.

Random and unrelated question, are there any self hostable MFP alternatives?

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

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?

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
