Frequently asked questions

Niara is an AI-powered women's wellness companion. It's designed to help you understand your body, menstrual cycle, nutrition, mood, energy, movement and sleep in one place, and to turn what you notice into personalised, everyday guidance. It's currently in development, with a waitlist open.

A period tracker mainly logs dates and predicts your next period. Niara includes cycle tracking, but it's being built to connect your cycle with how you feel, what you eat, how you move and how you rest, and to explain those patterns in warm, plain language. Think of it as a companion that understands context, rather than a calendar.

Women who want to understand themselves better and build wellness habits that fit real life: students, working professionals, caregivers and anyone tired of one-size-fits-all advice. You don't need to be into fitness or nutrition already, and you don't need to track your cycle to find Niara useful.

No. Niara provides wellness information and support. It doesn't diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and it isn't a substitute for a doctor. If you have symptoms that worry you, such as very painful, very heavy or irregular periods, please speak with a qualified healthcare professional.

Cycle tracking is one part of Niara. You'll be able to log periods, see your cycle history and estimated upcoming dates, and learn about each phase. It sits alongside mood, nutrition, movement and reflection tools rather than being the whole app. Cycle tracking will also be optional.

The four commonly described phases: menstrual (your period), follicular (from the start of your period until ovulation), ovulatory (around the release of an egg) and luteal (after ovulation until your next period). Niara will explain what typically happens in each and how that might relate to your energy and mood. Read our guide to the phases.

Yes, that's planned. During onboarding you'll be able to optionally add previous cycles, so Niara has more to learn from and can start offering estimates sooner.

Predictions are estimates, and they're usually more reliable for people whose cycles are fairly regular. Cycle length naturally varies between people and from month to month, and things like stress, illness, travel and some medications can shift timing. Niara's estimates should become more personal as you log more cycles, but they will never be guaranteed, and they must not be used as contraception.

No. Niara is not a contraceptive or fertility device, and its ovulation and fertile-window estimates are not designed for preventing or planning pregnancy. Please talk to a doctor about contraception or fertility planning.

Niara uses only what you choose to share, such as your goals, preferences, cycle details and daily check-ins, to tailor suggestions. For example, it might offer a gentler movement idea when you report low energy, or a protein-rich meal idea if that's a goal you've set. The more you share, the more relevant it can be, but every input beyond the basics is optional.

Yes. Niara's AI companion is designed for private conversations by text, with a planned voice option, so you can explore wellness questions, reflect on routines and get relevant suggestions. Like any AI, it can make mistakes, and it isn't a replacement for a doctor, therapist or emergency help.

That's planned. With the AI nutrition scanner, you'll be able to photograph a meal and see likely food items and estimated nutrition, which you can correct. Some dishes, portion sizes and hidden ingredients like oil or ghee are hard to judge from a photo, so results are approximate.

Yes. Between the scanner and the Nutrition Buddy, the aim is to make nutrition easier to understand: what a meal roughly provides, how it fits your goals, and practical swaps or additions. Any numbers are estimates, not lab measurements, and any blood-sugar information is educational only. Niara can't measure your blood glucose.

Yes. Niara is designed to suggest strength training, gentle movement, mobility, stretching and rest based on your preferences, reported energy and cycle-related patterns. Research on cycle phase and exercise is still developing, so Niara follows how you feel rather than strict phase rules. If you have an injury or health condition, check with a professional before starting a new routine.

Yes. Planned tools include guided meditation recordings, a private journal with gratitude and reflection prompts, and optional affirmations and reminders. They're there for everyday reflection and relaxation. They aren't a treatment for mental-health conditions.

Yes. Quick mood and energy check-ins are planned, and over time Niara can show you how they relate to your cycle, sleep and routines. If low mood is persistent or severe, please reach out to a mental-health professional.

A launch date hasn't been announced yet. Niara is in development, and waitlist members will be the first to hear when it's ready.

We're building for both. We'll let waitlist members know as each version becomes available.

Enter your email (and, optionally, your first name) in any waitlist form on this site and press “Join the Waitlist.” You'll see a confirmation on screen. You can leave the list at any time.

Pricing hasn't been announced yet. We'll share full details, including what's included, before launch, and waitlist members will hear first.

Carefully, and with you in control. We will never sell your personal data. You'll choose what to share, and you'll be able to delete it. Before the app launches, we'll publish a detailed privacy policy covering exactly what the app collects, how it's stored and protected, and your rights. For now, our website privacy policy explains how we handle waitlist information.

Of course. Every email will include an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your details entirely by writing to support@myniara.com.
