0.0 INTRODUCTION AND NOTABLE FEATURES
Cycle Manager mobile app was designed to help every woman implement the
Billings Method effectively. This is a simple, natural and drug-free way to
determine when one is fertile or not. You do not need an internet connection to
use this app – all your daily charting records are saved in a specially compressed
file within your mobile device. This app encompasses more than a mere menstrual
calendar as it is enriched with interesting features.
NOTABLE FEATURES:
a) SMART CHARTING
Chart-in your daily body signs just by checking the relevant checkbox(es).
At the comment section, you can keep a record of other issues that matter:
mood swings, cramps, tender breasts, acne, sex matters, back ache etc.
It takes less than a minute to chart and save a daily record.
b) DAILY CHARTING MADE EASY
Pre-set a convenient time for daily charting: the app will automatically open
every day at that set time.
Please note that when you boot your device, Cycle Manager will attempt to
re-establish your previously pre-set time for daily charting: this could bring
about a delay – in the range of fractions of a minute – while starting up the
device.
c) NEXT BEGINNING OF YOUR MENSTRUATION
Do not be taken unawares by menstrual occurrences – Cycle Manager will
provide you a projected date of the beginning of your next menses.
There is no need to manually fill-in the date of menstruation and the
number of days in your cycle – Cycle Manager will automatically determine
these from your saved records.
Additionally, once the projected menses date has been provided, users can
choose whether or not to set menses reminder alarms on the fly.
d) EASILY ACCESS HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Your saved date records are presented once the app opens.
Click on any date in order to view its records.
Saved dates can be accessed both sequentially and randomly.

e) DEDUCE IMPORTANT STATISTICAL INFORMATION SOME OF WHICH ARE
NEEDED BY YOUR GYNECOLOGIST
Evaluate the frequency of your sexual activities – in how many days within a
pre-set period have you had sex?
Furthermore, within a pre-set period, what was the last date you
menstruated?
visited the doctor?
ovulated?
had sex?
noticed your fertile mucus (Early Pap or Egg White)?
were dry?
f) BACK UP YOUR SAVED RECORDS
Export your saved records to a human readable computer [text] file format.
The output file is saved in a special directory in your device.
Please note that Cycle Manager will create the aforementioned file and
directory (if the directory does not exist already) only when the relevant
command is triggered, and will NOT create any other file or directory – nor
tinker with already existing files and directories – in your device.
Furthermore, Cycle Manager will read – only when necessary – those files it
had already created and NOT any other file in your device.
g) KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BODY SIGNS
In the Help section of the app are invaluable literatures on each of the body
signs experienced during the entire cycle.
