Comment on Menstruation cycle tracking app breached users' privacy, B.C. class-action lawsuit alleges
CameronDev@programming.dev 6 months agoI wrote a period tracker app that also encrypts/password protects the data at rest. If you’re concerned about someone taking your phone and accessing your data, it may also be worth a look.

Drip looks better for most people though. But they should add encryption if they dont already have it.

Encryption and password protection is in the changelog for drips first version v0.0.1 - 5 years ago
I couldnt find your app on fdroid btw
CameronDev@programming.dev 6 months ago
Huh, thats good. I scanned their website for mentions of encryption and didnt find it.
Mine isnt on fdroid, wasnt worth the effort. May as well remove from Google Play as well tbh, Drips seems all round a better option.

Yep it was a struggle to find. I checked website, issues and then finally made a last attempt at the change logs. It should be advertised more for that added piece of mind.
I didnt mean to shoot your app down by the way, in case it came across that way. Ive never used these apps
Thanks for developing your version though. People like you make this community what it is :)

I’ve never used my app either, I lack the prerequisites :D I wrote it for my partner last time there was a thing about US cops going after the data. But I dont maintain it, so drips is the better option in general.
When drips gets caught selling data I’ll revive my app :D
