Safe period tracker app

May 28, 2025

Baba Yaga teaches you to trust your body

In a world where our data and privacy are up for grabs, our bodies are often misunderstood, and menstrual health is still taboo, we built something radically different: A safe period tracker app designed not to exploit your data or “optimize” you into oblivion—but to help you trust your body again.

Baba Yaga isn't just a name. She's an archetype. A guide. And now, she lives in your pocket. As more than just another period app. A Cycle Coach.
You can think of Baba Yaga as your cheerleader, fairy godmother, or witchy auntie—the one who challenges you to live in rhythm with yourself.

Not as a productivity hack. Not as some neoliberal self-love cliché. But as a real, grounded companion who reminds you to:

  • Take a nap in your luteal hellscape.

  • Drink more water when your energy spikes mid-cycle.

  • Recognize when your mood shifts mean something deeper.

  • Track your cycle not to control yourself, but to know yourself.

This is not about control. This is about body literacy. It's about empowerment through understanding.

TL;DR

What makes Baba Yaga the best app for menstrual health?

  • Safe period tracking with zero data exploitation.

  • Real hormonal education—no pink fluff, no guesswork.

  • Custom guidance for your unique patterns and goals.

  • Rooted in empowerment, not optimization.

  • Supports your mental health, energy, and autonomy.

  • Designed for all people with periods, not just cis women.

Features that actually respect your cycle

The Baba Yaga Cycle Coach app combines science with magic, ancestral wisdom with hormone data, and practical remedies with radical self-trust.

Here's what makes it different:

Safe & private period tracking

→ We don't sell your data. Full stop. In a time when reproductive rights are under attack, your cycle data must be sacred. That's why we've prioritized privacy from day one.

Deep cycle analysis

→ Go beyond start dates. Understand your moods, patterns, energy shifts, and fertility signals through elegant, insightful graphs and daily summaries.

Hormone powers & phase-based guidance

→ Learn what your hormones are actually doing—today—and how to work with them, not against them.

Healing journeys

→ Choose your focus: cramps, mood swings, burnout, low confidence, heavy flow, irregular cycles, or cycle education. Baba Yaga adapts to you.

Moon wisdom & body connection

→ Sync your cycle with lunar rhythms and reconnect with ancestral timing—whether you're into astrology or not.

Built-in data protection

→ No one should fear tracking their own cycle. Whether you're navigating abortion bans, fertility choices, or simply reclaiming autonomy, this app puts your safety first.

You are not a small man

If you've ever read Dr. Stacy Sims' famous phrase, you know the problem: Most health research has been done on cis men and then directly applied to female bodies. Our bodies, our cycles, and our rhythms are still severely under-studied. Still misunderstood. Still framed as inconvenient.

That's why Baba Yaga exists. Because not everyone is a cis man. Because no two cycles are ever the same. Because your hormones are not unpredictable—they're cyclical, wise, and responsive. Instead of chasing productivity or “biohacks,” we help you understand yourself—so you can live, rest, work, love, and bleed in alignment with your own rhythm.

Why It Matters Now

It's not just about cramps and calendars. It's about autonomy in an era of surveillance and control. Across the U.S., the U.K., and beyond, people with periods are being criminalized, shamed, and gaslit. In this climate, a safe menstrual health app isn't a luxury—it's resistance.

We believe:

  • Your period data should never be weaponized against you.

  • Your cycle should never be pathologized just because it's not linear.

  • Your experience deserves education and support, not stigma or silence.

Baba Yaga is here to help you reclaim what has always been yours—your rhythm, your body, your story.

I help you reclaim what was never lost—only forgotten. Your rhythm. Your body. Your story.
