Flo and Clue, two of the world’s most popular period-tracking apps, were both built in Europe. This month, a brand from Grand Cayman decided the region could build its own.
On September 10, Women’s Haven launched Cycle Companion, which the company calls the Caribbean’s first cycle companion app. Melesia Adderley founded the organic feminine care brand in Grand Cayman in 2017. The app is free on the Apple App Store and runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.
It does more than mark dates on a calendar. Users can log periods and get cycle predictions, record daily mood, energy and symptoms, and keep a private journal. The app also walks through all four phases of the menstrual cycle, with guidance shaped by a Certified Menstrual Coach. A built-in shop links straight to Women’s Haven products.
The privacy setup is worth a look, given how much scrutiny period-tracking apps have faced over health data. Women’s Haven says cycle records, symptoms and journal entries stay on the user’s device and in private iCloud. The App Store privacy label states that the developer collects no data from the app.
The app is the latest move from a brand that started as a single Cayman business. Women’s Haven now sells in more than 12 countries, in over 100 retail locations and on Amazon, and it says education has been part of the mission since day one.
Adderley framed the launch as proof of what a regional brand can do. In the announcement, she said a brand founded in the Caribbean can build technology and join the global conversation on women’s wellness well beyond the region’s shores.
