Question 1

What devices does PinkyBloom support?

Accepted Answer

PinkyBloom requires iPhone 15 Pro or later running iOS 26 or newer. Apple Intelligence must be enabled in your device Settings for the on-device AI features to work.

Question 2

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. PinkyBloom has no accounts, no email signup, and no login. Just download the app and start using it. Your data stays on your device from day one.

Question 3

Is PinkyBloom really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PinkyBloom is free forever. There are no subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases, and no premium walls. We believe period tracking is healthcare, not a business model.

Question 4

What life stages does PinkyBloom support?

Accepted Answer

PinkyBloom supports 5 life stages: Cycle (period tracking), Pregnancy (trimester-by-trimester guidance), Postpartum (4th trimester recovery), Perimenopause (transition support), and Menopause (wellness tracking). Each stage has its own AI knowledge base, tailored insights, and mode-specific tracking.

Question 5

How do I switch between modes?

Accepted Answer

You can choose your life stage during onboarding, or switch later in Settings → Health Mode. Switching is instant and non-destructive — all your existing data is preserved.

Question 6

Will I lose my data if I switch modes?

Accepted Answer

No. Mode switching is completely non-destructive. All your logged data stays safe. Modes are a presentation layer — they change what you see and what the AI focuses on, but they never delete your history.

Question 7

Can I peek at other modes without switching?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The mode switcher shows a preview of what each mode offers before you commit. You can always switch back if a mode isn’t right for you.

Question 8

How does the AI adapt to my life stage?

Accepted Answer

Each life stage has its own dedicated knowledge base with ~80–100 expert-curated entries. When you switch modes, Pinky loads the relevant knowledge so it can give you stage-appropriate insights, predictions, and guidance.

Question 9

How does PinkyBloom predict my period?

Accepted Answer

PinkyBloom uses your cycle history and AI pattern analysis to predict your next period, ovulation window, and cycle phases. The predictions run entirely on your device and improve in accuracy with each logged cycle.

Question 10

What cycle phases does PinkyBloom track?

Accepted Answer

PinkyBloom tracks four cycle phases: Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulation, and Luteal. Each phase comes with phase-specific insights, mood forecasts, and contextual tips tailored to how you typically feel during that phase.

Question 11

Can I import data from another period tracker?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Take screenshots of your calendar in any other period tracking app and import them into PinkyBloom. The app uses on-device OCR and AI to automatically extract your period dates — no manual data entry required.

Question 12

What can I ask Pinky?

Accepted Answer

You can ask Pinky anything about your cycle, mood, symptoms, or health patterns. For example: "When is my next period?", "What's my mood forecast this week?", "Why am I so tired?", or "How long are my cycles usually?"

Question 13

Does Pinky use the internet?

Accepted Answer

No. Pinky runs entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence. No data is sent to any server, no API calls are made, and no cloud processing is involved. Your conversations are completely private.

Question 14

Does Pinky remember our conversations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pinky uses a 4-layer memory system: your health data (cycles, symptoms, mood), your personal profile (preferences, patterns), notable events (significant health changes), and session summaries. This allows Pinky to learn your patterns over time and provide increasingly personalized insights.

Question 15

How does partner pairing work?

Accepted Answer

You and your partner scan QR codes on each other's phones in person. This creates an end-to-end encrypted connection using Curve25519 key exchange — without any server involvement. No accounts, no emails, no internet connection needed for pairing.

Question 16

What does my partner see?

Accepted Answer

Your partner sees only your cycle phase (e.g., Follicular, Luteal), mood summary, and energy level. They never see your raw symptoms, journal entries, AI conversations, medical records, or voice recordings.

Question 17

What is Safety Mode?

Accepted Answer

Safety Mode sends fake, neutral data to your partner when activated. It displays "Follicular phase, Good mood, Energy level 3" regardless of your actual data. There is no notification or indication sent to your partner. It's designed for users who need it — no questions asked.

Question 18

Can I stop sharing without him knowing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can pause sharing with one tap from the app. Your partner receives no notification that sharing was paused. From their perspective, the app continues to look completely normal.

Question 19

How does pregnancy tracking work?

Accepted Answer

Switch to Pregnancy mode and enter your due date. PinkyBloom tracks your pregnancy week by week, provides trimester-aware AI guidance, logs pregnancy-specific symptoms (morning sickness, fatigue, back pain), and prepares you for prenatal visits — all on-device.

Question 20

Does PinkyBloom replace a pregnancy app?

Accepted Answer

PinkyBloom’s pregnancy mode covers the essentials: week tracking, symptom logging, AI guidance, and doctor prep. It’s designed as a private, AI-powered companion — not a medical diagnostic tool. Consult your healthcare provider for medical decisions.

Question 21

What happens if I switch back from pregnancy mode?

Accepted Answer

All your pregnancy data is preserved. If you switch to Postpartum mode after delivery, or back to Cycle mode, nothing is lost. You can always switch back to review your pregnancy history.

Question 22

How does postpartum mode help?

Accepted Answer

Postpartum mode tracks your recovery week by week, monitors mood patterns, provides self-care reminders, and helps you prepare for your 6-week checkup. The AI understands the 4th trimester and adjusts its knowledge accordingly.

Question 23

How does PinkyBloom handle irregular cycles?

Accepted Answer

Perimenopause mode is designed specifically for irregular cycles. Instead of trying to predict a regular pattern, it focuses on symptom tracking, pattern detection over longer time windows, and wellness trends. The AI adapts to unpredictability.

Question 24

What does menopause mode track?

Accepted Answer

Menopause mode tracks mood, energy, hot flash frequency and severity, sleep quality, and overall wellness — without cycle predictions. It provides long-term pattern analysis and lifestyle insights tailored to post-cycle health.

Question 25

I’m not sure if I’m in perimenopause — can PinkyBloom help?

Accepted Answer

PinkyBloom can help you track symptoms and patterns, which can be valuable information for your healthcare provider. If your cycles are becoming irregular and you’re experiencing new symptoms, perimenopause mode can help you understand what’s happening. Always consult your doctor for a medical assessment.

Question 26

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

On your iPhone. Nowhere else. PinkyBloom uses zero-knowledge architecture — your health data never touches any server. All data is encrypted at rest on your device.

Question 27

Can PinkyBloom developers see my data?

Accepted Answer

No. We use zero-knowledge architecture. Your health data is stored locally on your device and encrypted at rest. We have no access to it, even if compelled by legal process. Our servers have never contained your plaintext health data.

Question 28

What encryption does PinkyBloom use?

Accepted Answer

Curve25519 ECDH for key exchange and AES-256-GCM for data encryption. All cryptographic operations use Apple's CryptoKit framework, leveraging the Secure Enclave on supported devices.

Question 29

How do I export my data?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings in the app. You can export your complete health data as JSON (machine-readable), CSV (spreadsheet-compatible), or a formatted PDF report that you can share with your doctor or healthcare provider.

Question 30

How do I delete all my data?

Accepted Answer

Delete the app from your iPhone. All local data is permanently removed — there is no server-side data to worry about. If you enabled iCloud backup, you can delete that separately from your iCloud settings (Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage).
