What the actual fuck. How can we trust any third party app ever? I guess we can’t.

    Just checked out both drip and Bluemoon, both FOSS from F-Droid with local only data

    Bluemoon lets you import data from Flo, but to export data from Flo, you need to make an account with Flo, it seems. (It also let’s you import data from Clue, but I don’t use Clue.)

    drip lets you import data just from a CSV file, nothing that seems specific to any app format. So far I like drip a lot better, TBH; the UI is more intuitive to me, and it seems more featureful. Its prediction also lines up with Flo after putting in data since January.

    However, I have just downloaded both apps. My plan is to keep Flo around for one more cycle while I compare it to the others, then kick Flo to the curb for becoming enshittified spyware, with sad nostalgia for the life-changing product it originally was to me.

    Right now, I am not seeing luteal vs. follicular phase estimated with just period data on either, though, which is annoying. I want a rough sense for the purposes of some tailored nutritional stuff, but I’m not looking to get pregnant or anything and really do not wish to bother with the trouble of taking daily temperatures. Flo currently gives me that.

      For that last part - my workaround for this style of UX issue is to share to Material Files (save as) which saves it to the downloads folder.
