No account required. No cloud uploads. No data sharing. Your menstrual cycle information is yours alone.\n\nPRIVATE PERIOD TRACKING, BY DESIGN\n\nEvery period tracker promises privacy. Vela delivers it with zero-knowledge architecture. Your cycle data stays on your phone, protected by iOS Data Protection. If you choose cloud backup, your data is end-to-end encrypted before it leaves your device. Even Vela's servers cannot read your health information. No sign-up required. No email. No phone number. Open the app and start tracking your period immediately.\n\nACCURATE CYCLE AND OVULATION PREDICTIONS\n\nVela's prediction engine uses clinically-informed algorithms that combine established menstrual cycle prediction methods with weighted moving averages. Your period predictions, ovulation window, fertile days, and luteal phase calculations become more accurate the longer you track. A cycle tracker that learns your unique patterns.\n\nSIMPLE PERIOD LOGGING\n\nStart with one tap to log your period. Add flow intensity, symptoms, mood, and energy tracking when you are ready. Vela begins as a simple period calendar and grows with you. Every tracking category is opt-in. No overwhelming symptom lists on day one.\n\nTHE GARDEN -- BOTANICAL GAMIFICATION\n\nWatch a botanical garden grow as you track your cycle. Plants bloom from seed to full flower with your consistency. Miss a few days? Your garden waits. Plants wilt but never die. No guilt, no streak shaming. A warm, Studio Ghibli-inspired visual reflection of your self-care journey. The Garden is Vela's signature feature -- a period tracker experience unlike anything else.\n\nINCLUSIVE CYCLE TRACKER FOR EVERYONE\n\nVela is designed for every body that cycles. No gendered assumptions in language or design. Hormone-aware terminology throughout. Support for HRT tracking for trans and non-binary users. Partner mode works for all relationship types, including dual-cycle tracking for partners who both menstruate.\n\nPERSISTENT PILL REMINDER\n\nMore than a notification. Vela's pill reminder stays on your lock screen until you tap \"Taken\" or \"Skip\" — designed for real accountability with oral contraceptives.\n\nPARTNER MODE FOR EVERY RELATIONSHIP\n\nShare your cycle with a partner on your terms. They see only what you choose to share. Contextual tips help partners understand and support you through each menstrual phase. Works for any relationship configuration.\n\nFEATURES\n\n- Period tracker and menstrual calendar with smart predictions\n- Ovulation tracker and fertility window calculator\n- Cycle tracker with phase-aware insights\n- Symptom, mood, flow, and energy logging\n- The Garden: botanical gamification with Ghibli-inspired art\n- Pill alarm with critical alert persistence\n- Partner mode for any relationship type\n- Hormone and HRT tracking\n- Zero-knowledge encryption\n- Face ID / Touch ID app lock\n- Fully offline capable\n- No account required\n- No ads, no data selling\n\nPREMIUM (OPTIONAL)\n\nCore tracking, predictions, The Garden, and full privacy are free forever. Premium unlocks cloud sync across devices and partner sharing. Vela never paywalls health insights or uses fear to upsell.\n\nMEDICAL DISCLAIMER\n\nVela is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Predictions, ovulation windows, fertility insights, and pill reminders are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult your physician or qualified healthcare provider with any questions about a medical condition, contraception, fertility, or pregnancy, and before making any medical decisions. Do not rely on Vela for contraception or to prevent pregnancy.\n\nYour light. Your shield.
