What it does

The period tracker that never sees your data. No account. No cloud. No ads. Everything runs on your device. We built Perla after our wives got frustrated with trackers that sell data or blast ads. So we skipped the server entirely. The prediction engine, AI insights (Apple Intelligence), and fertility scoring all run locally. Apple Watch wrist temperature replaces expensive thermometers. Adapts to PCOS, endometriosis, pregnancy, and 8 birth control methods. $19.99/year or $49.99 lifetime.

    I made a privacy friendly and simple app to track my menstruation2024 · play.google.com · ▲732

    Hey HN, after the app I actually used to track my period wanted me to log in and save my data in the cloud, I decided to write my own. Most apps in this area are based on a subscription model and display far too much information anyway. For me, a simple calendar is enough where I can add a few notes if necessary. So that is the result of my work - a simple design and the data is only saved on the smartphone.

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
