A place for the details you want to remember
The day your period started. A headache you meant to mention. How you felt before a busy week. Veya is being designed to keep these entries together so you can look back without relying on memory, and to stay useful when what you need changes: trying to conceive, pregnancy, the months after a birth, or perimenopause.
Coming to iOS and Android. The features below are planned; the app isn’t available to download yet.
Today
Today opens on the current cycle, drawn as a single ribbon from day 1 to the end of the next estimated period. Logged period days are coral, the estimated fertile window is sage, the next-period window is a soft coral, and today is a small coral dot.
Above the ribbon, the next period is shown as a date range, such as “Next period: 28 Nov – 1 Dec”, with the most likely day and a confidence chip. Below it are four logging tiles: period, symptoms, sex and a check-in. A week strip of day tiles at the top lets you swipe back through earlier weeks.
Logging
Start with the entry you came to make. You might record a period day and leave, or add a note because something felt different. You don’t need to fill in every category.
Planned logging options include:
- Period days and flow, or bleeding that isn’t a period day.
- Symptoms, moods, energy and sleep, and how strong a symptom felt.
- Discharge, sex, pregnancy test results and ovulation test results.
- Basal temperature, weight, water and activity minutes.
- Personal notes.
- The pill, ring, patch and injection, including the timing windows of progestogen-only pills.
- After a birth, feeds and nappies as simple counts.
A check-off records what you entered. It doesn’t verify that contraception was used correctly or provide instructions about a missed dose.
Estimates
Veya’s planned period and fertile-window estimates use your own logged history. Each one is a window, not a promised day: it’s as wide as your own cycle lengths vary, and it narrows as you log more cycles. A confidence chip says how much history it’s based on, and “How Veya estimates” explains the method in plain words.
Three kinds of information should be easy to tell apart:
| Kind | Sample wording | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Logged entry | Period started · 1 November | A date entered in the sample record. |
| Recorded pattern | Low energy, logged in the 5 days before 2 of your last 3 periods | A count of entries in that history. |
| Estimate | Next period: 28 Nov – 1 Dec · Medium confidence | A possible future window, which may change. |
Logged basal temperature readings can help mark likely past ovulation after a sustained rise. That is different from predicting ovulation, and Veya doesn’t confirm that an egg was released. You can leave an unusual cycle out of the estimates.
An estimated fertile window must not be used as contraception. It doesn’t guarantee pregnancy or establish days when pregnancy cannot happen.
For the general idea behind these estimates and why they miss, read how period trackers predict your period and what the fertile window is.
Recorded patterns
A note is useful on its own. Seeing similar notes beside earlier periods may give you something specific to look back at or discuss at an appointment.
Veya shows something as a recorded pattern only when it was logged in the 5 days before, or during, most of your recent periods, and only once at least 3 periods have entries around them. For example: “Low energy, logged in the 5 days before 2 of your last 3 periods.” In our sample, lower-energy entries appear before the period that followed August and the one that followed October; the September cycle has none.
Every pattern ends with the same line: patterns describe what you recorded, and they don’t show a cause. A blank day means there’s no entry. It isn’t evidence that you felt fine. There’s more on this in recorded patterns vs predictions.
Choose a mode that fits
Today, reminders and estimates follow the mode you choose. These are options, not stages you need to move through, and switching never deletes what you’ve logged.
Cycle
Period history, daily entries, recorded patterns and the next period as an estimated window. Your recent cycles are drawn as ribbons on one scale, so you can see how they vary without being labelled “regular” or “irregular”.
Limits: An estimate isn’t a confirmed date, and a recurring symptom isn’t a diagnosis.
Trying to conceive
Today leads with the estimated fertile window and its six most likely days. Keep ovulation and pregnancy tests and temperature readings together, and work through “Getting ready for pregnancy”: six things that help before you conceive, such as folic acid and checking your MMR vaccination, each with its source.
Limits: Veya doesn’t detect ovulation, guarantee conception or provide contraception; temperature-based indications are retrospective.
Pregnancy
Cycle estimates pause, and the ribbon spans 40 weeks. A week-by-week guide starts at week 4, alongside:
- When to get help, one tap from Today: the signs to act on, sorted by urgency, with the numbers for where you get care and your own care contacts as one-tap calls.
- Baby movements: get to know your baby’s usual pattern, with no kick counting and no reassurance from a count.
- Your care: antenatal appointments and vaccines for the UK, the US or elsewhere.
- A contraction timer from 36 weeks, shown next to the rules for when to call. It never tells you whether you’re in labour.
- Food and drink: a guide you can search.
Limits: This mode doesn’t monitor a pregnancy or replace advice from your maternity care team. If something feels wrong, call, even at night.
After a birth
Estimates pause until your first period after the birth, and bleeding in the first weeks of recovery isn’t counted as a period. Today shows:
- Recovery notes that follow the weeks, including after a caesarean.
- An optional weekly mood check: one tap, no score, and not a test. If you choose the answer about thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, Veya shows who to call straight away.
- Feeds and nappies as simple counts, with no targets.
- When the postnatal check usually happens where you live, and contraception after a birth.
Limits: This doesn’t replace your midwife, health visitor or doctor, and the mood check isn’t a screening tool.
Perimenopause
A transition card follows the gaps between periods and the days with symptoms. Log how strong a symptom felt, and keep track of treatments such as HRT or non-hormonal options alongside them. Contraception guidance follows where you get care, because UK and US advice differ.
Limits: Veya doesn’t diagnose menopause. Bleeding after menopause always needs checking by a doctor.
Medicines and supplements
Add a medicine or supplement by name, choose when you take it, and turn on a reminder if you want one. Reminders can show a name you choose instead of the medicine, and they come with Taken and Snooze. Presets for pregnancy and menopause come with a short guide.
Veya never suggests a dose: doses come from your doctor, midwife or pharmacist. Never stop a medicine you’ve been prescribed without checking with them first.
Moving gently
Log activity minutes for the week, follow a guided pelvic-floor routine, and read plain advice about moving safely in pregnancy and after a birth. There are no goals to hit and no badges.
Reminders
Choose the reminders that are useful to you. A prompt should help you remember something you wanted to do, without making an unlogged day feel like an unfinished task. Notifications on a locked screen use neutral wording.
No streak pressure. No scores for having a “good” cycle.
Doctor summary
A one-page PDF you can share at an appointment: your cycle lengths and periods, recorded patterns, symptoms, medicines and any notes, over 3, 6 or 12 months. There are versions for pregnancy and after a birth, and a menopause section for perimenopause.
The summary describes recorded information. It doesn’t diagnose a condition or stand in for a clinical assessment. Until then, preparing notes for a healthcare appointment shows how to put a useful summary together yourself.
Library
The Library tab holds the same guides as this website’s Learn library: source-backed articles in 8 languages, each with its own illustration, organised by life stage and topic. Every guide sets out when to get help by how urgent it is, with notes for where you live and its sources. Veya suggests a guide gently when it’s relevant to what you’ve logged, and you can dismiss a suggestion.
Privacy settings
What you log is stored in a local database on your phone, and you don’t need an account. The community is optional and anonymous. Partner sharing is optional too: a private code shares a short summary, and stopping it deletes the shared copy. Cloud backup is optional and is how you move your record to a new phone: you can link a Google account on Android or use Sign in with Apple on iOS. Veya receives only the email address, to recognise the account, and your cycle data isn’t shared with Google or Apple.
You’ll be able to export everything at any time as one file, with your periods, entries, notes, medicines, reminders and settings, and restore it into Veya on another phone without an account. A CSV copy for spreadsheets is planned too, and you’ll be able to delete everything.
App lock is also planned. A lock controls access to the app interface; it doesn’t by itself describe how stored information is protected.
There are no ads and no analytics, and Veya doesn’t sell data. Read the Privacy page for the confirmed design and the details still to be published.
Languages
Veya is planned in eight languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, Simplified Chinese and Hindi, with the layout mirrored for Arabic. We’ll confirm the available language versions when Veya is released.
Free, with optional support
Every feature is planned to be free for everyone. There’s no paywall and no premium tier.
If you want to support Veya, you’ll be able to pay what you want through the App Store or Google Play: a monthly contribution or a one-time gift. Supporting unlocks nothing extra, and you can cancel a monthly contribution at any time from your store subscriptions. Stores show prices in your local currency.
Keep an eye on Veya
Coming to iOS and Android. A release date hasn’t been confirmed.
If signup isn’t configured yet, the download page will clearly show a waitlist preview rather than register your email.

Five modes, side by side.
Pick one to see what it changes. You can switch at any time, and none of them leads into another.
Your period history, and what you notice along the way.
Today shows the current cycle as a ribbon: logged period days, the estimated fertile window, and the next period as a window with its confidence. Log what you choose and look back when you need a date.
- Record period days and flow, or mark bleeding as not a period day.
- Add symptoms, mood, energy, sleep or a note when you choose.
- See recorded patterns and your recent cycles side by side.
Estimates can change, and a recorded pattern doesn’t explain a symptom’s cause.
