I built a self-hosted period tracker because I couldn't find one worth using - Lemmy.World

My wife needed a cycle tracker. Everything out there was either Flo (which got sued twice for sharing health data) or an abandoned GitHub project. So I built Ovumcy. Single Go binary, SQLite, Docker-ready. No analytics, no third-party APIs, no cloud. Your data stays on your server. Features: period tracking, symptom logging, predictions (ovulation, fertile window), statistics, CSV/JSON export, dark mode, Russian and English. Just pushed v0.2.5. Looking for feedback from real users.

I was going to recommend this to someone I know but when I realised your readme.md is entirely AI-generated, I guess the whole project is probably vibe-coded. I can’t in good conscience recommend someone trust their health data to a vide-coded app because they tend to have security problems.

Also all ai-generated code is public domain so your AGPL license is kinda empty. Might as well use MIT.

Thanks for doing this, I was debating doing the same. It needs to exist.

F-Droid has Drip, Bluemoon and Periodical.

Yes, I’m aware of those apps. They’re great local-first mobile trackers. Ovumcy explores a slightly different approach - a self-hosted web app that can run on infrastructure you control and be accessed from multiple devices.
