Period app drip launches for iOS on August 30, 2022
The drip app that makes period and fertility tracking more secure and transparent will be released for iOS on Tuesday, August 30th, 2022.
The idea for drip was born out of a disillusionment with period apps available on the market. We wanted an app that does not share or commodify our data, an app that illustrates menstruation without butterflies and flowers, an app that implements algorithms based on science.
So we decided to build our own period app: non-commercial, free and gender-neutral, using scientific methods for fertility awareness, as well as being secure and open source. Participatory, safe, feminist.
What sets drip apart from the vast majority of commercial period apps is its heavy focus on users' privacy: all data is only stored locally on the user's device rather than in the cloud. Additionally, the app does not allow any third-party tracking.
The recent overturning of Roe vs. Wade in the US serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping intimate health data private and safe.
The drip app was first launched on Android in 2019 and received support in the past from the PrototypeFund & Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the Superrr Lab and Mozilla.
More information and links to download the app for free on iOS (Aug 30) and Android can be found on https://dripapp.org.
We kindly ask you to respect our news embargo and not publicly share drip's iOS launch before August 30, 2022.
