Features
ela is a tracker, not a wellness platform. It records what you tell it, counts carefully, and says only what your own log can support.
Logging
Tap how you feel from a grid that puts the symptoms you chose at the top. Record flow, mood, energy and cravings, or none of it — ela works with whatever you give it.
Every day has room for a note, and the note comes back. Open that day in the calendar a month later and it’s still there, which sounds obvious until you notice how many apps throw it away.
Nothing is mandatory. A blank day is a blank day, never a day you felt fine.
Plus a note in your own words, on any day, past or present.
Predictions
ela predicts your next period as a range rather than a date. The range widens or tightens with how much your own cycles actually move, and it carries a confidence — learning, estimate, or confident — so you always know how much weight it deserves.
It uses your history the moment you have any. Population averages are a starting point, not a destination, and ela stops leaning on them as soon as your own cycles can do the work.
Fertile days are an estimate drawn from those same dates. If they aren’t useful to you, switch them off in onboarding and never see them again.
Not contraception. Not a measurement. ela says so where it matters, not only in the small print.
Insights
A dedicated screen, in three parts, that fills in as you log:
That last part matters more than it sounds. “Six days of cramps” reads the same whether it’s six out of seven or six out of forty. ela shows you both numbers, and never counts a day you didn’t open the app as a day you felt nothing.
Four cycles before a chart. Three occurrences before a symptom counts as a pattern. Two of anything is a coincidence.
Honesty
Most apps look most confident when they know least — a fresh install will happily draw you a 28-day cycle it invented. ela won’t show an average until it has cycles to average, won’t call you regular until it has seen enough to know, and tells you how many more cycles it needs rather than leaving the screen blank.
And it never tells you how you feel. You will not read that you are “probably emotional because of your hormones.” ela reports what you logged and what is commonly reported by other people. It does not diagnose, and it does not explain you away.
Your calendar
A year back and two months forward. Logged periods, predicted windows, fertile days if you want them, and a dot on every day you recorded something. Tap any past day to edit it — correct a start date, add a symptom you forgot, remove a period you logged twice.
Change anything and the predictions recalculate immediately. ela tells you that before you delete a period, because it’s your history and you should know what moving it does.
Reminders
A reminder before your period is due, as many days ahead as you asked for during setup. A daily pill reminder if you take one.
Both are scheduled by your phone, not pushed from a server, so nothing about your cycle leaves the device in order to remind you. And discreet mode keeps the lock screen vague — “a quiet heads up for the next few days” rather than announcing it to the room.
Read it before you share it. It pastes into a record, reads off a phone, and prints.
For your doctor
How long are your cycles, how regular are they, how heavy and how long is the bleeding. ela writes all of it down: your averages, your range, your last six periods, what you log and when, and your recent notes.
It says where every number came from and that the whole page is self-reported rather than measured. If you’re on a hormonal method it says that before the numbers, because that’s what tells a clinician how to read them.
Your backup
It also means nobody restores it for you, so ela gives you the file. One tap writes every period, symptom, flow and note to a single document you keep wherever you like — Files, iCloud Drive, your own email.
New phone, same file, everything back including the predictions, which are recalculated from the periods rather than stored. We never see it.
Erase
“Erase everything” removes every trace of ela from the phone — cycles, logs, settings, and any partner connection. Not a list of keys someone forgot to update, but everything the app has ever written.
There’s no copy elsewhere to chase afterwards, which is rather the point.
Everything above is yours alone. Partner Mode is the other half of ela — and the half nobody else has built properly.
