The HerCare App & Features

HerCare translates complex reproductive endocrinology into an intuitive 4-phase cycle dial: Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulatory, and Luteal. Rather than imposing rigid 28-day assumptions, the algorithm adapts continuously to your personal moving averages.

• What it does: Logs Day 1 of true flow, bleed duration, flow volume (spotting, light, medium, heavy), and projects future periods across 3 to 6 months.
• How someone uses it: Tap the central cycle dial on Day 1 of flow, adjust bleeding intensity, and view the real-time countdown to your next phase.
• Controls & Limitations: Calendar calculations are statistical projections and must never be used as contraception. Irregular cycles (variations >7 days) trigger irregularity alerts rather than misleading exact predictions.
• Relevant Action: Explore the Period Tracker Hub →

Track over 30 physical and emotional markers to uncover how shifting estrogen and progesterone shape your daily physical comfort, energy, focus, and digestion.

• What it does: Records pelvic cramping (dysmenorrhea), breast tenderness, headaches, bloating, cervical fluid texture, energy levels, sleep quality, and mood states.
• How someone uses it: One-tap logging from the daily check-in screen; optional private encrypted text notes.
• Controls & Privacy: Sensitive notes are protected with client-side encryption. Data is never shared with third-party advertisers.

Partner Sync bridges communication gaps between partners by providing proactive, respectful cycle phase awareness, empathy tips, and mutual wellness milestones without compromising privacy.

• What it does: Sends empathetic notifications to a connected partner explaining phase shifts (e.g., "Sarah is entering her luteal phase—energy may dip this week"), shares hydration goals, and enables quick check-ins.
• How someone uses it: Generate a secure single-use 6-digit invite code in-app. The partner enters the code to establish an authenticated pairing link.
• Granular Controls: You choose exactly what is visible. Private notes and specific symptom tags remain completely hidden from your partner unless explicitly unmasked. Disconnect instantly with 1 tap at any time.
• Trial Conditions & Entitlement: Every user receives a full 15-day free trial of Partner Sync upon pairing. After 15 days, ongoing partner synchronization requires an active HerCare Premium membership (₹399/mo).

When you are experiencing severe cramps, fatigue, or sensory overload, expressing your needs in long messages can be exhausting. Care Signals provide instant, discrete communication.

• What it does: Send pre-set one-tap gesture alerts such as "Hydration reminder", "Cramping: Heating pack needed", "Need quiet rest", or "Thinking of you" directly to your partner's lock screen.
• Truthful Security Architecture: Messaging operates through TLS-secured transport and PostgreSQL database Row-Level Security (RLS) policies. To remain completely transparent and medically accurate: chat messages are server-stored for delivery and are not end-to-end encrypted or zero-knowledge encrypted.

An optional, consent-first feature designed specifically for safety and peace of mind during late-night commutes or solo travel.

• What it does: Allows verified partners to view real-time approximate geographic location when explicitly toggled ON by the user.
• Strict Limitations & Controls: Location sharing is OFF by default. It requires explicit, affirmative consent every session. A prominent status bar indicator displays whenever location is active, and the user can revoke sharing instantly with a single tap. Location data is ephemeral and never permanently warehoused.

Reproductive health cannot be isolated from everyday metabolic and lifestyle wellness. HerCare integrates essential holistic parameters into your daily dashboard.

• Hydration Logging: Interactive water glass counter with phase-adjusted intake recommendations (increased fluid intake during luteal water-retention phases).
• Daily Step Activity: Syncs step milestones to encourage gentle movement during menstrual cramping.
• Sleep Architecture: Log sleep duration to correlate insomnia or REM shifts with progesterone declines.
• Phase-Specific Nutrition: Evidence-informed dietary tips recommending iron-rich foods during menstruation and anti-inflammatory magnesium-rich foods during the luteal phase.

Transform months of raw symptom logs into a clean, structured clinical summary designed specifically for consultations with gynecologists and OB-GYNs.

• Medication & Pill Reminders: Discrete daily reminder alerts for oral contraceptives, thyroid hormones, prenatal vitamins, or metformin.
• Clinical PDF Export: Exports a comprehensive document detailing cycle length variability, luteal phase consistency, flow intensity, and pain frequencies formatted to aid clinical diagnosis of conditions like PCOS or endometriosis.
