Exceptional

This is the best charting app that I've ever used. I love how customisable it is. It's really like having a paper chart in my pocket. I also love the feeling that this app belongs to us charters. There's a great sense of community because the developers are actively seeking input from users. It just keeps getting better and better.

This app is truly amazing, it’s everything that I’ve been looking for! It feels good that it’s made by and for its users. You can customise as much as you like and it’s easy to understand. The app gets better with new updates. It really feels like this could start a revolution for reproductive health!

I've been charting my cycles for 8 years. During this time, I tested a lot of mobile apps and none of them met my requirements. This one is PERFECT. I recommend it with all my heart! Affordable price and great contact with the creators.

Made by charters, for charters

We’re a collective of passionate and pragmatic idealists who chart our own menstrual cycles.
