# Barometer

**Why did it suddenly go cold?**

You didn't do anything wrong. It might've been timing. Barometer turns her period cycle into a simple pressure signal, so you can take a 5-second check before you text, make an ask, or plan a date. Use the calendar view to preview upcoming timing windows at a glance.

## One rule: Care first, then clarity.
When the moment feels sensitive, validate first. When it feels open, keep your message short and clear.

## Today's timing guide
Simple cues for what to do next. No internal jargon.

### Recharge time — Energy is low.
Offer warmth first. A small act of care works better than a big plan.

### Green-light moment — Good timing for important asks.
Have the real conversation. Make the ask. Move things forward.

### Steady flow — Keep your normal rhythm.
Maintain routines and keep changes small.

### Sensitive window — Tension rises easily.
Listen and validate first. Avoid debate-heavy conversations.

## Playbook
1. **01 Log her period start** — One-time setup. Pick the date her period started, a rough estimate, or start from today.
2. **02 Check today's timing** — Open the dashboard and see which window you're in.
3. **03 Choose one move** — Care. Push. Maintain. Pause. One move is enough.

## Who it's for
- **New** — Avoid a badly timed message that can turn a small issue into a big one.
- **Committed** — Stop guessing. Build a simple habit that keeps your week smoother.
- **Planner** — Place important moments into better windows, on purpose.

## Before / After
Small shift in timing, big shift in outcome.

- **Dinner plan**
  - WITHOUT: Asked when they were exhausted. Ended up arguing.
  - WITH: Asked during a steady flow. Agreed on a place quickly.

- **Trip planning**
  - WITHOUT: Brought up in recharge time. It felt like pressure.
  - WITH: Brought up in a green-light moment. Collaborative energy.

- **The hard conversation**
  - WITHOUT: Started in a sensitive window. Escalated fast.
  - WITH: Started in a steady flow. Listened first.

It turns your recent pattern into a simple timing cue, so you can act with less guessing.

- Uses your recent entries to estimate today's interaction window
- Updates automatically as your pattern shifts
- Keeps recommendations simple: support, ask, maintain, or pause

## Common questions
- Q: Is this tracking?
  A: The signal is computed locally. Optional anonymous analytics can be enabled in settings to help improve the app, but it is off by default.

- Q: How accurate is it?
  A: It's a directional guide based on recent patterns, not a prediction of the future.

- Q: Can I just ask instead?
  A: Yes. This is a nudge to check in, not a replacement for direct communication.

- Q: Where is my data stored?
  A: On your device by default. You can enable cloud backup if you sign in.

- Q: Do I need an account?
  A: No. You can use the app completely offline without an account.

## Privacy
Private by default. Local-first. No ads. Explicit opt-in for anonymous analytics. Cloud backup is optional.
