The idea of putting this info on my phone has always seemed bonkers to me. Just keep a journal of it, on paper, if this is so critical for you to know for some reason. My daughter used to use one but she deleted it as soon as the Roe v Wade stuff happened, she had no reason to be using it anyway
The idea that putting this on your phone is bonkers is bonkers to me. Why would you want to carry around a journal or paper when you have everything on your phone? It can also be more easily backed up and synced.
It shouldn't be normal that this data is stolen and sold. That is 100% the problem, not the fact that people track things on computers.
Imagine that nobody earned money with this mine of women working for free. What a wasted product
it shouldn't be, but that's the world we live in. we can't change it anymore.
No, but you can still choose to choose software that doesn't steal and sell your data. You can also support laws that make doing this illegal.
I can, but most people don't even know where to look for them. Definitely not the play store
