You tell it what happened, swipe through ways to calm down and see it differently, and decide what to say or do next. It also predicts your PMS days from your cycle and shows your patterns over time. Is Niyora for PMS or PMDD? + Both. Niyora helps with the emotional side of the days before a period: anger, crying, anxiety, low mood and conflict. People with PMDD use it alongside their care. It is not a diagnosis or a treatment, and it does not replace a doctor. Is Niyora free? + Niyora is free to download. Moon moments each month and the cycle calendar are free. Premium unlocks unlimited moments, your patterns and the cycle report, at $8.99 a month or $29.99 a year. Is it real, or is it the PMDD talking? + Often both. The feeling is real, and PMS or PMDD turns up its volume. Niyora helps you hold off on big decisions and messages until you can see the difference, and shows you if the same thought keeps coming back on the same days each cycle. Does Niyora work if my cycle is irregular? + Yes. The help in the moment works on any day. Cycle predictions get better the more periods you log, and you can open Moon whenever you need it, whatever the calendar says. Does Niyora replace therapy or medication? + No. Niyora is for the moment itself: the text, the fight, the 3am spiral. Many people use it alongside therapy, SSRIs or other treatment, and the cycle report helps you show your doctor what your month looks like. Can my partner see what I write? + No. There is no account and nothing is shared. Your entries stay encrypted on your phone unless you choose to share a message or report yourself. Is Niyora on Android? + Niyora is on iPhone today. Android is coming soon. Does Niyora need an account? + No. There is no sign-up, no email and no login. Your moments and cycle stay encrypted on your phone. Does my data train AI? + No. Names, places and other identifying details are replaced on your phone before anything reaches Moon’s AI, and the AI provider is contractually barred from training on what you write. How is Niyora different from Flo or Clue? + Flo and Clue are period trackers. They tell you where you are in your cycle. Niyora helps with what happens next: when you’re angry, crying or anxious, it helps you calm down, see it differently and decide what to say. Many people use both. Can I use Niyora with ChatGPT? + You can, but ChatGPT starts from scratch every time. Niyora knows your cycle, your past moments and what has helped you before, and every idea shows where it comes from. ## Have support ready for your next hard day [Get Niyora for iPhone](https://apps.apple.com/app/niyora-pms-emotions/id6764561688) Coming soon on Android
