Software - in general - is too dangerous to use at this time. Pen & paper for now.
I mean I won't argue that paper isn't safest in terms of privacy, because I would be wrong, but the app is open source and doesn't store data outside of the phone so it should be the second safest way.
Though, I'm upset about Maya (I think initially it was called cycles or something like that) how it started similarly (although it wasn't open source) and transformed into a piece of shit.
That would be very hard to verify for most users. So the perceived risk can be high. Most people aren't going through source code or compiling the code themselves. Most are trusting the open source community to tell them it's safe.
Where as pen and paper, the risks are apparent to most people. It also severely limits the people who can access the information. Keeping out those that would sell or trade it. For a third party to access pen and paper they either need to trick you in person or break and enter.
Most businesses aren't going to take those risks. But they will steal your data from an app. Many businesses primary operation is stealing data from apps.
Better use invisible ink, too, just to be sure.
Guy, you remember how we were being told to never use your real name on the Internet back in the early days? We need to stop using an app for everything
Periodical is great menstrual cycle tracker.
It's opensource and available on F-droid, plus the calendar can be backed up to SD or wherever and imported back into app.
Is the bone with the 28 marks part of this lawsuit?
