Everything people ask us about cycle-aware living, your data, and how Rhythms works.
Rhythms is a cycle aware lifestyle app that gives you personalised daily guidance across nutrition, exercise, work and energy, aligned to your hormonal phase. It's built to help you work with your body rather than against it.
Rhythms is designed for women with a menstrual cycle who want to live in sync with it, whether you're in your 20s, 30s, or 40s. It's especially helpful if you've noticed your energy, mood, focus or appetite shift across the month and want to stop fighting it.
Start by tracking, not changing. Before you overhaul anything, just notice when you feel sharp, when you feel flat, when you want to be around people and when you don't. Once you start seeing your own pattern, pick one thing to shift, leave everything else alone, and that still counts. The goal is to work with yourself instead of against yourself, and that can start anywhere.
Period trackers tell you when your period is coming. Rhythms tells you what to do with the rest of your cycle: what to eat, how to move, when to push, when to rest, how to plan your work. The prediction is the starting point, not the product.
No. Rhythms is not a fertility tracker, ovulation predictor, or pregnancy app. We don't provide conception guidance or pregnancy support. Rhythms is a lifestyle companion for women who want to understand their cycle and use it to live, work, eat and train with more ease. If you're actively trying to conceive or are pregnant, please use a dedicated fertility or pregnancy tool alongside appropriate medical care.
Yes. Rhythms is built under strict consumer health data privacy standards for Australia, the US, and the UK. Your individual data is never sold and never shared.
Yes. You can delete your account and associated data at any time from your account settings.
You get full access to everything for 7 days. A card is required upfront but you will not be charged until your trial ends. Cancel any time before that and you will not be billed.
Rhythms works with cycle lengths from 21 to 35 days, and periods from 2 to 8 days, using our proprietary data model to give you guidance tailored to your cycle, not a textbook average. You can update your cycle details any time and the forecast adapts immediately.
Yes, and it might matter more for you than for anyone else. Irregular cycles are often the body's way of signalling that something needs attention. Stress, disrupted sleep, undereating, hormonal shifts like perimenopause. When you can't predict what's coming, tracking becomes more valuable, not less. Over time, patterns emerge even when cycles aren't consistent.
No. You enter your last period start date once during onboarding and Rhythms calculates your phases automatically from there. Log it again if your cycle length changes (like getting your period early or late), otherwise it's not required.
A daily snapshot of where you are in your cycle, plus tailored guidance on nutrition, movement, work focus and energy for that day. You can go deeper on any area you care about, or just take the one-line nudge and move on.
Yes. Perimenopause is exactly when cycle awareness can matter most, because patterns are shifting. Rhythms adapts to irregular cycles and can help you make sense of changes as they happen.
Yes. Rhythms draws on established research in women's endocrinology, chrononutrition, and exercise physiology, translated into practical daily actions. It's guidance, not medical advice, see below.
No. Rhythms provides lifestyle guidance and is not a substitute for medical care, diagnosis or treatment. If you have health concerns, symptoms or conditions, please speak to a qualified healthcare professional.
