Cycle awareness

It sits under Use body signals in reflection, which is Hamdam Plus, and only appears while that is on.

Cycle awareness is its own opt-in, distinct from every other Health setting. It is offered rather than assumed, and it only appears once Use body signals in reflection is on.

On your period days, Hamdam leans towards gentler, more restful reflections. In the days before a period, estimated only from the history you have logged in Health, it leans towards depth rather than lightness, in the verse and in the reflection.

Worth knowing

  • Your cycle data is read from Apple Health and never leaves your device. Hamdam reads what you have logged in Health rather than keeping a tracker of its own.
  • Cycle information is not shown anywhere in Hamdam as a chart, a prediction or a phase label. It changes the tone of a verse and a reflection.
  • Once cycle awareness is on, the Garden's row for how today is also offers a period chip. It is there for you to choose; Hamdam never sets it for you.
  • The option is offered where the gender answer in About You is female or prefer not to say. You can change that answer at any time.
