Cycle & Body
Track menstrual dates, use a personal calendar, record symptoms and observations, and explore changes in your cycle over time.
YOUR BODY. YOUR RHYTHM. YOUR JOURNEY.
OVALIA
With you through every new phase of life
From understanding your cycle and exploring fertility to pregnancy, birth and life with your baby. OVALIA is being designed to bring these experiences together in one evolving personal space - shaped around your needs, your history and your choices.
Your journey is personal. Your app should be, too.
ONE JOURNEY, MANY CHAPTERS
Designed to grow with you
Life does not happen in separate apps or isolated moments. Your cycle, fertility journey, pregnancy, birth and experiences after birth are part of a bigger story. OVALIA is being designed to follow that story as it unfolds. Choose the tools that matter to you, keep the information you want to preserve, and move between life stages without having to start your personal history from scratch.
ONE PERSONAL SPACE
Support for changing life stages
Explore the areas OVALIA is being designed to bring together. The features you use can reflect the stage of life you are in and the information you want to record.
Fertility & Ovulation
Bring together cycle information, fertile-window estimates, basal body temperature, LH tests and personal fertility observations.
Pregnancy
Follow your pregnancy with an overview of milestones, baby development, growth information, ultrasound memories, health details and appointments.
Birth & Labour
Prepare in your own way and record contractions, duration, intervals and the changing rhythm of labour using a dedicated timing experience.
Baby & Early Parenthood
Keep track of baby milestones and, where supported, feeding, breastfeeding and pumping information in the same evolving space.
Health & Personal History
Keep relevant measurements, symptoms, blood pressure, laboratory results and important life events connected to the phase they belong to.
Many possibilities. Your choice.
OVALIA is designed to offer useful tools without deciding for you which parts of your life should be tracked. The experience can change as your needs change.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
Connected tools for real life
Individual features are designed to work together, so observations and milestones can be understood in the context of your wider personal journey.
Calendar & Today
Keep important dates visible, check the current phase and access the information most relevant to today.
Symptoms & observations
Record symptoms, body changes and personal notes to build a clearer record of what you notice over time.
Cycle & temperature graphs
View cycle and basal body temperature information in visual overviews, including cycle-phase cues, designed to make changes and patterns easier to explore.
Ovulation, LH & pregnancy tests
Keep ovulation estimates, LH and pregnancy test records, cervical mucus observations and other fertility notes together rather than in separate tools.
Pregnancy overview
Bring together pregnancy milestones, week-by-week information, growth, ultrasound memories, health, complaints and appointments.
Birth & contraction timing
Record each contraction and review duration, intervals and patterns. The planned experience includes Natural Birth, Midnight Birth and OVALIA Birth visual themes.
Baby, feeding & breastfeeding
Keep relevant baby milestones and supported feeding, breastfeeding or pumping records together after birth.
Health records & results
Organise measurements such as blood pressure, symptoms and laboratory results. Where available, reference information can help put results in context, without replacing professional medical advice.
Your history matters
A new pregnancy does not erase an earlier one. OVALIA is designed to support multiple pregnancies and children, keeping earlier chapters and relevant records available as your family story grows. Separate records can help keep each pregnancy or child distinct while the wider timeline remains connected.
MISTIRIX ENGINEERING
What can stay local, stays local
Personal health and life-stage information deserves particular care. OVALIA is being designed around a local-first approach: keeping personal records on your own device wherever practical, rather than making a central online database the default home for your information.
Local-first record
Personal records are intended to remain primarily on your device, so supported everyday functions can work without relying on a remotely hosted master record.
No central account by default
The design aims to let people access and manage their own local record without requiring a central OVALIA account for ordinary local use, subject to the final implementation of individual features.
Minimal data dependency
When a function can work locally, unnecessary external processing, transfers and dependencies should be avoided.
Designed for offline use
Core functions are intended to work without a continuous internet connection wherever the feature allows it. Functions that require external services may have different requirements.
Privacy is considered from the beginning: first asking whether information needs to leave the device at all, rather than collecting it centrally and considering protection afterwards.
BACKUP AND RECOVERY
Your backup stays yours
Changing devices or reinstalling an app should not make a personal history feel disposable. OVALIA is being designed to support a user-controlled way to preserve and recover personal records.
User-controlled encrypted backup
The intended approach is to let you create an encrypted backup file and choose where to keep it - for example, in a local location or supported personal cloud storage. Availability will depend on the final implementation and supported platforms.
A separate backup
A backup file is distinct from the app's active personal record. The chosen storage location is for the backup, not the live database that the app relies on for everyday use.
Your choice of location
Where supported, the design aims to give you a choice of storage location rather than requiring one central OVALIA cloud account to hold the full personal record.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Less central data. More control.
Privacy should influence how an app is designed, which information it needs and where that information is processed. OVALIA follows the wider Mistirix principle of considering whether personal information needs to leave the device at all.
Data minimisation
Only collect, process or transfer information needed for a specific function. Unnecessary collection should be avoided.
User-controlled continuity
Design record recovery around user-controlled backups rather than dependence on a centrally maintained copy of the entire personal record.
No cloud-first personal dossier
OVALIA is not intended to require a remotely hosted master record for every ordinary interaction.
Choice stays central
Not everyone needs every feature. Choose what to record and which parts of OVALIA are relevant to your life, without being required to document everything.
Privacy is a design principle, not an extra feature.
THE IDEA BEHIND OVALIA
Growth, renewal and new beginnings
OVALIA's visual symbolism brings together the phoenix and the lotus: two complementary ideas of transformation, resilience and growth.
Phoenix
A symbol of change and transformation - one chapter giving way to another, with the possibility of beginning again.
Lotus
A symbol of growth and blossoming through changing circumstances, including when the path is not straightforward.
OVALIA
One private space that grows with you
From cycle awareness and fertility to pregnancy, birth, baby care and personal health records, OVALIA is being developed to bring the different chapters of your journey together.
Built around continuity. Designed around choice. Guided by privacy.
Because life changes often enough - your app should be able to keep up.
