When tracking your period lets companies track you

• Baby Buddy

  37 1,965 9.1 Python

  A :baby: buddy to help caregivers track sleep, feedings, diaper changes, and tummy time to learn about and predict baby's needs without (as much) guess work.

  

Validates my decision to self-host and donate to Baby Buddy: https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy

I figured all those “free” (and possibly even the paid) baby apps were likely doing all sorts of shady things with that data. One thing for me to use a period/fertility tracker for myself - quite another to throw my child’s data up to god knows who for god knows what ends long before he could possibly consent.

If you don’t know why it matters how many diapers there have been in the last 24 hours and what kind of mess was in there, along with how often and how much milk was consumed, you’ve obviously not been the primary caretaker of an infant recently. If you don’t know why you’d want an app for that, ditto - “mommy brain” is real.

Pro-tip: set up and test your Baby Buddy instance well before your due date - including having your partner try using it on their device.

• tracker-control-android

  113 1,835 6.1 Java

  TrackerControl Android: monitor and control trackers and ads.

  

For phone apps, you may like https://trackercontrol.org/. It's mostly set and forget and blocks 99% of tracking by default in my experience.

• periodical

  5 111 6.2 Java

  A calendar to track your menstruation and calculate possible fertile days

A quick search showed me these two: https://github.com/arnowelzel/periodical and https://github.com/wildeyedskies/log28. Both are available on F-Droid.

I don't use Android and I don't have periods, so unfortunately I can't really tell how decent they are.
