Made my first founder-led video for Petals.
Not very comfortable on camera, so I started with something I genuinely care about:
Pushy upgrade pop-ups + cringy notifications.
So I built Petals (@Petals_app) differently.
No account. No ads. 100% offline. 🌸
One video at a time.
Your period isn’t just a date on a calendar. Cramps, mood, bloating, headaches, flow, energy, sleep, cravings... they can all tell you something about your cycle. That’s why
@Petals_app
has detailed symptom logging. The more you track, the easier it becomes to notice patterns.
@nikethestarr I really don't understand why these apps can't focus on what they are actually supposed to do. The funny part is, it's only 1 thing: track my cycle properly and tell me what I asked, NOT what it thinks.
By the way, I built a focused one; try Petals https://t.co/7eMBRBeZLp
This tracks with what we've seen building in this space, most period trackers default to cloud sync/accounts even when it's not needed for the core feature. Worth a read for anyone using these apps. #privacyfirst

This is literally why I built Petals @Petals_app. No astrology, no account, no cloud, no annoying notifications. Just your data, on your phone.

built a period tracker specifically because of this. petals sends no tips, no affirmations, no touch yourself tuesday. just quietly tracks your cycle. #buildinpublic#periodtracker
@devlemonsfan69 logging your period should never be behind a paywall. ever.
petals has no logging restrictions, no ads. the only paid feature is icloud backup, because your data is yours to keep.

@bajanese_ the audacity of a period app showing you ads, when we are on our cycle should be illegal.
petals has zero ads, ever. offline, no account, no subscription popups.
App Store: https://t.co/818qSmwA0K
Can related with it, so built petals for exactly this feeling
no ads, no account, no annoying notifications. Gender neutral and everything stays on your phone. just one app that tracks your period.
@deadmensthrones right?? they all look the same, but before building my own period tracker I read in a research exactly what you are asking for. so if you want something quiet - @Petals_app is offline, no account, no ads, just logs your cycle and symptoms. that's it.
