What to look for in a private period and pill tracker
Dot is a private, offline-first iPhone logbook for cycle information, medication history, and general wellbeing. Its product details describe on-device storage, personal iCloud options, Face ID or Touch ID protection, exports, and Apple Health integration. It can suit someone prioritizing control of their records, but it is not medical advice, a diagnostic tool, contraception guidance, or a guarantee of fertility, pregnancy, or medication outcomes.

Choose the edition for your device
Product editions have separate provider pages. Availability, features, commercial options, and provider disclosures can differ by platform, so use the page for the device you intend to use.
Decision criteria before choosing an app
These are decision points, not unsupported rankings or claims about every alternative in the category.
Privacy controls you can use
Device authentication and a privacy screen are practical controls, but they should be understood alongside device backups and Apple account settings.
Health boundaries
A tracking app can help organize observations and reminders; it should not be treated as a clinical diagnosis, medical professional, or contraceptive method.
Best fit
- iPhone users who want a private personal log for cycle, medication, and wellbeing information.
- People who value local-first storage, device access controls, and the ability to export records.
- Someone who wants to review their own history alongside appropriate medical care when needed.
Not the right fit when you need
- Emergency, diagnostic, fertility, contraceptive, or medication advice.
- A guarantee that a predicted cycle position or reminder is clinically accurate.
- A replacement for a clinician, pharmacist, or required medical record.

Common questions
Can a period tracker provide medical advice?
No. A tracker can organize personal observations and reminders, but medical questions, symptoms, medication decisions, and urgent concerns should go to an appropriate qualified professional.
What does offline-first mean for a personal health log?
It means the core record is designed to remain on the device rather than depend on a developer-operated account or server. Optional Apple services may still be governed by your device and Apple account settings.
