--- title: "About Ruva: cycle tracking without the pressure" description: "Why Ruva exists and the principles behind it: optional tracking, honest estimates, no streaks or scores, and choices about your information you can understand." url: "https://myruva.co/about" language: "en-GB" --- # Clarity, every day. It's easy to forget when your last period started. Or to remember a headache clearly but have no idea whether it happened last week or the week before. Ruva is a new app that gives those details a home. It's for period and cycle tracking, with modes for trying to conceive, pregnancy, the months after a birth and perimenopause. You might want a simple date record. You might have a question for a GP and a few notes to bring along. Ruva helps you keep useful notes without telling you what your body should be doing. ## Start with what you noticed A headache after lunch or a night of broken sleep is worth recording in ordinary words. We want the app to help you remember it, without turning every entry into an explanation. ## Leave room for missing days You can record what matters and leave the rest alone. Ruva has no streaks and no scores for a “good” cycle, because a blank day isn't a failure. ## Say what the information can tell you A logged period, a pattern in recorded symptoms and an estimated date mean different things. We want those differences to stay clear, even when the answer is uncertain. ## Let your priorities be your own People who have periods don't all have the same goals or experiences. The five modes are choices. Nobody expects you to move from one to the next. ## Make privacy choices understandable What you log stays on your device. It leaves only if you turn on sync between your devices, make a cloud backup, share with a partner or post in the Community. We explain each of these plainly, including exactly what it sends. ## Make room for a conversation A record can help you remember what you wanted to tell a doctor or nurse. Ruva supports that conversation with a summary you can share. It doesn't diagnose symptoms or replace care. When something can't wait, Ruva says so plainly and shows who to call. ## Where Ruva is now Ruva works [in your browser](https://app.myveya.co) now, and on Android, from [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.myveya.app), with a Wear OS app for your watch. It's free and you don't need an account. The apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac are coming soon, with an Apple Watch app. Every feature is free for everyone: no paywall, no premium tier, no ads, and we don't sell data. If you'd like to support Ruva, you can pay what you want in the Android app through Google Play, and in the iPhone app through the App Store once it's out, with $2.99 a month suggested. It doesn't add any features. It just helps keep Ruva going.
