PeriodWise App - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

PeriodWise is designed to help you understand your menstrual cycle using simple, private, and educational tools. Below are answers to the most common questions about how the app works.

How does PeriodWise predict my cycle?

PeriodWise uses:

  • The first day of your last period
  • Your previous cycle lengths
  • Basic biological rules of the menstrual cycle

Predictions improve when:

  • You enter at least 3 past cycles
  • Your cycle is relatively consistent

All calculations happen locally on your device.

What do the calendar colors mean?

The calendar uses color indicators to show estimated fertility risk:

🩷 Period days – Menstrual bleeding days

🔴 High fertility days – Ovulation window (higher pregnancy chance)

🟡 Medium fertility days – Transition days around ovulation

🟢 Low fertility days – Lower pregnancy likelihood

These are estimates, not guarantees.
