Why does this keep happening?
"Why am I exhausted again this week?"
"Why does my focus disappear around the same time every month?"
"Why am I suddenly so hungry?"
"Why did my workout feel so much harder this week?"
Four sides of your life, one rhythm.
Anima Cycle connects your cycle to the parts of daily life it actually touches, so you can move through each one with more ease. See everything you can track →
Focus & Clarity
Know your clearer-headed days
Notice when focus comes easily and when it doesn't, and plan demanding work around it instead of forcing it. Your days feel lighter when you stop fighting yourself.
Mood & Social Battery
Track your emotional cycles
Follow how your mood and desire to socialise shift through the month, and protect your social battery when it runs low, so you can say no without guilt, and yes when it feels good.
Symptoms & Self-Care
See PMS coming, and prepare
Spot recurring symptoms before they land, plan lighter days ahead of time, and give your body what it needs right now: a little more ease, a little less bracing for what's coming.

Recommendations that follow your phase, or your active and break days if you take the pill.
Anima Cycle works for that too.
Switch to Medication mode to track your pack day by day. When you stop, Anima Cycle moves with you into a dedicated recovery mode instead of guessing at cycle phases that aren't there yet.
Your pack, tracked simply
Log your regimen and get gentle reminders. If a pill slips, Anima Cycle walks you through clear next steps, never a diagnosis, and always points you to your leaflet or doctor for anything medication-specific. How Medication mode works →
A recovery mode of its own
After you stop, there's no cycle phase yet, so Anima Cycle tracks the days since your last pill instead. Content shifts in stages as your body settles in, supports your skin, and starts sending its own signals again. What to expect after stopping →
Not medical advice. For anything medication-specific, always check your leaflet or talk to your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Anima Cycle.
Anima Cycle helps you understand your menstrual cycle beyond just period dates. It shows which of the four phases (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, or luteal) you're in each day, and with quick daily check-ins it helps you notice how your energy, focus, mood, and symptoms shift across the month. Over time it surfaces the patterns that are specific to you.
Most period trackers focus on one question: when is my next period? Anima Cycle starts there but adds a light daily check-in for energy, mood, and symptoms: a few taps, no long forms. It reflects your own notes back to you instead of handing you rigid rules about how you should feel, and the Calendar view lets you see phases coming so you can plan lighter or busier days ahead of time.
Anima Cycle is built to keep your data on your device. It has no account and no backend server of its own. All your data (cycle parameters, mood and energy logs) stays on your iPhone by default. It's never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for ads. If you turn on the optional iCloud Sync, your data syncs only within your own private iCloud account; if you use the optional Circle feature, only a simplified summary goes to a partner or friend you personally invite and approve. Anonymous usage analytics are only sent if you opt in.
Anima Cycle is for any woman who wants to understand how her cycle affects her day-to-day life and use that knowledge practically. It works especially well if you plan your own schedule, whether you're a freelancer, entrepreneur, or just someone tired of feeling blindsided by energy dips and mood shifts that turn out to be completely predictable.
Anima Cycle calculates your phases from your own parameters (last period date, cycle length, and period duration), so there are no population averages applied. But the deeper personalisation comes from logging your symptoms, mood, and energy as you go. The more you track, the more the app can show you your own patterns: how you actually feel in each phase, not how women are supposed to feel. Over time you build a personal picture, and the app's insights and recommendations start reflecting your biology, not a textbook average.
