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.

We’re a collective of passionate and pragmatic idealists who chart our own menstrual cycles.
Frustrated by the profit-driven nature of femtech and the lack of digital charting tools that truly served our needs, we came together to create the app of our dreams!
In a sector that’s dominated by male-led corporations (more than 80% of femtech groups have no female founders and almost 90% of femtech investors are male*), we’re proud to be an all-female founded / female-led team developing Read Your Body with 100% user funding and accountability.
Our grassroots non-profit model allows us to work with absolute integrity to our values: championing the highest standards of data privacy, listening to our community and making sure that your voice is heard.
We believe that body literacy – the ability to read your body by observing, recording and interpreting bodily signs associated with the menstrual cycle – is a fundamental and deeply affirming life skill.
In everything we do, we seek to support our community to develop an understanding of their bodies and menstrual cycles that will enhance their wellbeing and last a lifetime irrespective of any charting practices or tools they may choose.
As a team who know first-hand the joys and challenges of reading our own bodies, we’re empathetic and approachable. We’re passionate about what we’re building while remaining humble and curious, always learning and iterating, open to suggestions and ideas for improvement.
We’re guided by humane technology principles that uphold human wellbeing, autonomy and dignity.
