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!

      “if you are being compelled to unlock it” What kind of world are we living in? I feel awful for the kids of today.

        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 could 100% happen in the US today given the reproductive laws being passed.

      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.

        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.

        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.

          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.
