Ovumcy isn’t trying to replace them. The idea here is to explore a self-hosted, web-based approach that focuses on running the app on infrastructure you control, with simple deployment and cross-device access through the browser.
Different tools optimize for different things. Native apps like Drip or Mensinator are great for fully local tracking, while Ovumcy explores a self-hosted model that can be accessed from multiple devices without relying on a third-party service.
The benefit over a purely local app is mainly cross-device access and easier syncing/backups, while still avoiding a third-party service storing your data.
I do use AI tools while developing this project, but I also have a BSc in Computer Science. AI is a productivity tool.
Security is something I take seriously, especially since the project deals with health data. All code has test and you're welcome to inspect the repository yourself or point out any specific security concerns if you notice them.
Regarding licensing: the AGPL license applies to the project as a whole regardless of the tools used to write parts of the code.
If you have concrete technical feedback or security issues, I’d genuinely appreciate it.
