How people use Patterns

Cycle-aware tracking

Bring in period days from Apple Health and see how energy, skin, mood or pain shift across the month.

Many people notice that the same weeks of each month feel different: more tired, more tender, more sensitive, or sometimes clearer and more energetic. Writing it down makes those rhythms easier to see, and easier to plan around.

A setup that stays private

Cycle data is some of the most sensitive information there is. In Patterns, it never leaves your iPhone. If you turn on Apple Health, period days are imported read-only into your encrypted journal. You can delete imported data at any time from the connection’s page.

Ideas to try

  • Track a few things you suspect shift with your cycle: energy, skin, sleep, cravings, mood.
  • Use Timeline to see everything side by side across several months.
  • Use Trend on a scale, like Energy, to see whether there’s a rhythm to it.

Start whenever feels right

Patterns is for iPhone (iOS 17 or later). Try every feature free for a week, then decide at your own pace.
