Data privacy after Dobbs: Is period tracking safe?
(stateline.org)
TL;DR fuck no
Surely there are fully offline and open source solutions to this right?
Edit: Yes there are. I dont menstruate and dont know enough details to check if this is a good app, but it looks very well made and clean. Its also available on all platforms and from Fdroid.

Ofcourse if the cops get access to your device then everything is joever no matter what you use.
A notebook is offline. That’s perfect.
Till they grab it after grabbing you first.
Yeah, I generally agree. Offline encryption with a PIN is the way to go if you're worried (and you probably should be). If they try to make you unlock it, you can forget the pin, biometrics don't have that advantage.
I believe these apps allow you to do things that you cant easily do by hand.
Should be coded, though. With easy deniability in court.
If you use a sufficiently good passphrase on your degoogled phone, they cant bruteforce their way in, even with NSO group tools. Trying to come up with your own code is just foolish.
On a physical notepad?
ENCRYPT THAT BIHHHHHHHHH
Unfortunately I don't have the links any more, but I did some research and there are some good privacy-focused apps for this. I recall seeing some with features specifically to prevent unauthorized access and with emergency data shredding functionality. I think I saw one that would cleverly create random realistic data if accessed incorrectly.
I created one with a duress feature:

There is also:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drip
But the play store hides mine, and drips is way down the list.
If the Republicans win, it will be sent to JD Vance's office every day.
Republicans aren't interested in girls that have started their periods.
They do want them to breed to make more little kids, though.
drip. menstrual cycle and fertility tracking (Open-source, non-commercial and leaves your data on your phone.) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.drip/
Minus the horrible name, it is a great way to track all your cycles.
Not trying to be a fanboy, but it seems like the Apple cycle tracker is fairly secure. That said, here’s a consumer reports article about it as well https://www.consumerreports.org/health/health-privacy/how-to-keep-apple-watch-ovulation-data-private-a2879529072/
Theres are FOSS software on F-Droid that I've seen (Bluemoon, Drip, Periodical), but as someone who doesn't have periods I don't know how they compare to non-FOSS alternatives.
