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!
That’s just if it’s unlocked with your thumbprint, since, if you’re being arrested the cops get your thumbprint anyway, but if it’s a password or phrase, you have the right to remain silent, correct?
This is super cool. Unfortunately all the teens are using iPhones and I don’t think I’ll be able to install this. If it’s ever an iPhone app I’ll be the first downloader.
Given that Apple is more likely to submit to government (any, any country) coercion and doesn’t allow side loading of apps your next phone should be Android. Especially one that supports GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.
Failing that, many apps work as web applications and if saved to the home screen it’ll both look and feel like a native app.
Pretty unlikely that I ever port to iPhone, I dont have one to dev on. To be honest, my partner doesnt even use it, so it was a little bit of a waste of time, except for a learning opportunity.
If you have an Apple computer and are willing to download some code there’s period underground… it’s terribly written by me for my wife. She uses it on her iPhone and it keeps all data local. I never tried to get it on the App Store due to qt licenses, and because the encryption module didn’t compile so it will rely on you not unlocking your device for someone who shouldn’t be seeing the data. There’s other options I’ve seen on here hopefully one of those will work.
It does exist on the android store with encryption as an option and blank data with no warning if you enter the wrong password. Also includes a quick delete and a quick delete with random data written into the database as deletion options

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.

It may not meet your needs, but perhaps worth a look. I am open to adding features (except for ads and tracking obviously).
“if you are being compelled to unlock it” What kind of world are we living in? I feel awful for the kids of today.
This could 100% happen in the US today given the reproductive laws being passed.

Yeah holy fuck, that’s dystopian.

Apple’s systems are designed so that they don’t really have a choice in the matter. The end user holds the only master key.
