Is there anything FOSS like this?
There are a few:
I'm not a user of any of those, but from descriptions and screenshots alone they look decent.
Mensinator is a "gets the job done" sort of app. The notifications don't really work for me though, which is a bummer.
I use Drip for basic cycle tracking. I don't use it for fertile phase tracking so no comment there.
For cycle tracking, it does what it needs to do. It's easy enough to setup and completely forget what tracker/spyware I used to use. Heck, I think it was Flo I used to use.
And f-droid or another alternative app stores not mandatory, Drip is on the Google Play store at least. Not sure about Apple.
