Frequently Asked Questions

Allura is an AI-powered period tracker specifically designed for irregular cycles and PCOS. Unlike traditional period trackers that assume a 28-day cycle, Allura uses machine learning to understand your unique patterns and provide accurate predictions for cycles ranging from 21 to 90+ days. It's built for the millions of women whose bodies don't fit the "average."

Most period trackers like Flo and Clue are optimized for regular, predictable cycles close to 28 days. Allura is specifically built for irregular cycles and conditions like PCOS. Our AI doesn't assume your cycle should be "normal" – it learns YOUR normal. Additionally, Allura prioritizes on-device privacy, keeping your sensitive health data on your phone rather than in the cloud.

Allura is currently in development and will be launching soon on the iOS App Store. Join our waitlist to be the first to know when we launch. Early waitlist members may get exclusive access to beta testing.

Yes! Allura was specifically built with PCOS in mind. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome often causes highly irregular cycles that traditional period trackers can't handle. Allura's AI is trained to work with unpredictable cycle lengths, making it an ideal PCOS period tracker. You can also track PCOS-specific symptoms like hormonal acne, hair changes, and weight fluctuations.

Allura supports cycle lengths from 21 to 90+ days. Whether you have short cycles, long cycles, or cycles that vary dramatically from month to month, Allura's irregular cycle tracker is designed to handle it. We embrace the variance in your cycle rather than forcing you into a 28-day box.

While Allura cannot diagnose medical conditions, it can help you track patterns and gather data about your irregular cycles. By logging symptoms consistently, you'll build a comprehensive health log that you can share with your doctor. Many users find that having detailed cycle data helps facilitate more productive conversations with healthcare providers about conditions like PCOS, thyroid issues, or other causes of irregular periods.

Allura's AI analyzes your historical cycle data, logged symptoms, moods, and other factors to identify patterns unique to your body. Rather than using simple averages like most period trackers, our machine learning model adapts to the natural variance in irregular cycles, improving its predictions over time. The more data you provide, the more accurate your cycle predictions become.

Allura achieves up to 94% prediction accuracy for users who consistently log their data. For irregular cycles, this is significantly better than traditional period trackers that rely on simple averages. The AI model improves with each cycle you track, learning your body's unique patterns and adjusting predictions accordingly.

Traditional period trackers use simple calendar math – they average your last few cycles and predict the next one. This fails for irregular cycles because it doesn't account for variance. AI period tracking, like Allura uses, analyzes multiple factors including your symptoms, historical patterns, and cycle variations to make smarter predictions. It adapts to your body rather than expecting your body to conform to an average.

Allura lets you track over 40 different symptoms including cramps, headaches, bloating, breast tenderness, acne, mood changes, energy levels, sleep quality, cravings, and more. The app then uses AI to find correlations between your symptoms and cycle phases, helping you understand your body better.
