I do, because I have chronic health issues that require me to monitor these types of variables. I also use it to predict my next period so I can prepare and so I can be a bit kinder to myself. I use Drip though so everything stays on my phone and that bunch of people won't mine shit.

If it was me, I'd just open my calendar and schedule a "massage". Maybe switch terms with "pedicure".

Or do those apps have more features than just dates?
