Thanks for all that feedback! One minor point is that the 49.99 is annual. You can define and record unlimited metrics and data on the free version so if you can’t then that’s a bug for sure. Also, noted regarding the import bug, thanks for that.

I agree it could make sense one day but, as I mentioned in another thread, we don't have any servers and so we don't collect or host any user data (encrypted or not). In fact, I really don't want to; it's overhead and costly, and might involve compliance with HIPAA or GDPR, and I just would rather the user be in charge of their own data.

Having FHE for local data would be very interesting though.

Good question. I'm realizing I did not really communicate this well.

The full story is that we went to a conference for biohacking, spreading the word about Reflect, and businesses wanted to white label the product so that they could have the same capabilities but for their own niches.

Those businesses wanted to be able to do things like create surveys using our form building library and have users collect their own data for things like N=1 experiments with their products.

What those businesses wanted to use that functionality for was up to them and their privacy policies, but the terms we talked about were something similar to "you can't use our SDK without users explicitly opting into any data collection". We never ended up actually licensing the SDK or making any deals with any companies.

Hope that makes things a little clearer. As far as Reflect the app, that was started from the beginning with privacy in mind and local-first. I have a long blog post I've been sitting on explaining the whole story, which I will publish soon hopefully, but I've been revolted by surveillance capitalism for a long time and originally made Reflect to help my partner get off of using google forms for tracking mood.

You have a good point regarding the privacy policy. We haven't found a way to lock in that commitment, and that's obviously not ideal from a user's perspective. People do place trust in Reflect not to pull the rug out from under them.

Yes, you have that right

Do you mean for menstrual data specifically?

Currently for general data there is pearson correlation, five different anomaly detection algorithms, and T tests for significance among other things.

The work in progress we have for menstrual tracking takes temperature, flow, and past grund truth data into account. I know that’s vague, and it’s because my partner is working on it, not me :)

When we release the cycle tracking we’ll have a full writeup
