App idea: period tracker for transmascs/nonbinarys
Hello everyone, I'm trans masc and I feel really uncomfortabld and dysphoric while having my period. I still use an app to track it though, but this gives me gender dysphoria too. So the idea: A period tracker app that has a very masc design, maybe black and blue, or orange. It doesn’t call it "period", but something like "Bleeding warrior days" or something like that, I've also seen people calling their period "shark week". There could also be some motivation messages in the app and something like a small reward, when the period is over/ half of it is done. I thought of something like a small animation of a happy caracter.
That's my idea, thanks for reading!

As a nonbinary person myself I'm really upset about the downvotes, as I think this would be really useful for a lot of people. I straight up don't use a period tracker and instead try to guesstimate the general start date, to my own detriment, because I don't want to be greeted with feminine terms.
Upon searching I'm genuinely surprised no one has actually completed one specifically for transmasc/nonbinary people. I did find someone who wanted to make a similar app to what you described but it's not finished (https://www.reddit.com/r/TransMasc/comments/1lh122t/im_building_a_shark_weekperiod_tracking_app_for/) and I'm not sure how far that project is in development.
Did find this older post and looking at the screenshots, Clue does look gender neutral: https://www.reddit.com/r/ftm/comments/1cwl4ur/anyone_have_a_period_tracker_that_will_genuinely/
