What it does

A complete cycle tracker — predictions, fertility windows, symptoms and export — built so your most intimate health data stays yours.

Cycle predictions

Period and cycle predictions calculated entirely on-device from your logged history. No cloud processing.

Apple Watch temperature

Reads wrist temperature via HealthKit to help confirm ovulation and improve prediction accuracy.

Daily symptom logging

Log symptoms, moods and notes each day. Everything stored locally, encrypted by iOS.

Fertility tracking

Fertility window estimates based on your cycle data and temperature trends. Available in premium.

Data export

Export everything as JSON anytime. Your data is yours — take it with you if you leave.

No account required

No email, no sign-up, no cloud sync. Open the app and start tracking immediately.

Works with your smart ring

Pair an affordable Colmi-family smart ring straight from Cyla — no separate ring app, no account, and nothing ever leaves your phone. Your ring's everyday wellbeing signals and sleep appear on a dedicated Device tab, entirely on-device.

Everyday vitals

Heart rate, blood oxygen, stress and HRV from the ring, shown with day charts and a 7-day trend. On-device only — no cloud, no login.

Sleep, at a glance

A sleep score, the stage breakdown, and a hypnogram you can scrub with your finger, plus a 7-night trend — so you can see how you actually slept.

Temperature, kept separate

The ring's skin temperature is a wellbeing readout only. Your fertility temperature still comes from Apple Watch — we keep the two apart on purpose.

Private by design

Cyla talks to the ring over Bluetooth itself — your most intimate data stays on your device. You can use it alongside PaceGrid on the same phone.

Supported rings

Tested: COLMI R09. Compatible (same family, not individually tested): COLMI R02, R03, R06, R10 and most rings that pair without their own app. Heart rate is confirmed across the family; sleep accuracy varies by model.

How to pair

1 · Charge it

Give the ring a few minutes on its charger so it has power to connect.

2 · Quit the ring's own app

If you used the official ring app, fully close it. You can keep Cyla and PaceGrid paired at the same time — just don't sync in two apps at the same moment.

3 · Turn on Bluetooth

Make sure Bluetooth is on and Cyla is allowed to use it.

4 · Open Smart Ring

In Settings, open the Smart Ring screen and tap Scan with the ring next to your phone.

5 · Tap your ring

Choose your ring from the list to connect. Cyla remembers it for next time.

6 · Wear it

Wear it overnight — sleep syncs automatically when you reopen the app.

Private, not just promised

Most trackers ask for an account before you can log a single day, then sync your most intimate data to a vendor cloud. Cyla doesn't.

  • All health data stored locally with iOS encryption.
  • No accounts, no cloud, no servers.
  • Apple Watch data via HealthKit — on-device only.
  • Nothing to subpoena, nothing to breach, nothing to sell.

Who it's for

Cyla is for people who want a private period tracker, a private cycle tracking app, or a Flo alternative that does not begin with an account signup. It is especially relevant if privacy is not an abstract preference for you, but the main reason you are choosing a new health app.

No account-first workflow

You do not need to create an account just to log a cycle. That changes the feel of the product immediately.

On-device privacy story

Designed to keep sensitive cycle data on the device instead of sending it to a vendor-controlled cloud by default.

Apple ecosystem fit

Apple Watch temperature integration makes Cyla especially relevant for iPhone users who already rely on Apple health features.

Export without lock-in

Export support means your data stays portable rather than trapped in one app.

Built for trust
