Question 1

Where does my period data live?

Accepted Answer

On your iPhone. Only on your iPhone. Nowhere else. If your phone is lost, your data is lost — we can't recover it, because we never had a copy.

Question 2

Is Dew a private period tracker?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dew has no account, no email collection, no ads, no third-party trackers, and no data sold to anyone. Your cycle logs stay on your iPhone — we have no way of knowing who you are.

Question 3

Does Dew use iCloud sync?

Accepted Answer

Optional. If you turn iCloud sync on, your data lives in your own private iCloud, encrypted so only your Apple devices can open it. We don't see it. Apple can't read it.

Question 4

Are insights generated on my phone or sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

Insights are written entirely on your iPhone by Apple's on-device language model. No prompts, no data, no outputs ever leave the device.

Question 5

How much does Dew cost?

Accepted Answer

Dew is free during v1. When pricing arrives in v1.1+, there will be a small one-time price for core tracking and a small monthly Pro tier for advanced features. Both are honest. No surprises, no dark patterns.

Question 6

Why no account?

Accepted Answer

Because accounts mean we'd have to keep something about you. We don't want to. The whole app is built so it's impossible for us to know who you are.
