I built a pill reminder app because every period app kept asking me if I wanted to get pregnant

I'm on the pill. I don't want a baby. I want to not miss my pill.

Every app I tried treated me like a woman in waiting. Ovulation tracking, fertility windows, pregnancy predictions. I just needed something that said "take your pill" and minded its business.

So I built it. Solo. Spending all my free time outside of work on it. It's called Estroclic.

No fertility tracking. No ovulation predictions. No "are you trying to conceive?" Just your pill, your cycle, your reminder.

It's live on Android. Sharing because I know I'm not the only one who felt like those apps weren't built for people who are actively trying not to get pregnant.

Hey r/Femalefounders I'm a solo founder working a full-time 9-5, building in the evenings because I got tired of the same problem every single month: Waking up and having absolutely no idea what day I was on in my birth control pack, and therefore not knowing whether I need to buy a new pack or not. Sometimes I forgot if the day before I took my pill. I tried Flo, Clue, and a bunch of generic pill reminders, they all either pushed fertility/baby tracking I didn't want, or were too bloated. So I built Estroclic: Birth Control from the ground up.

What it actually does:

  • Shows you exactly where you are in your pack with a clean golden cycle arc
  • Smart daily reminders + backup alerts if you miss one
  • Log missed pills, vomiting, or other meds that might affect absorption
  • Streak tracking, refill alerts, and simple PDF reports for doctors

No fertility stuff. No pregnancy ads. Just focused on reliable birth control tracking. I'm still very early (Android launch a few weeks ago, iOS coming soon) and bootstrapping everything myself. The first 500 users get Lifetime Pro for $29.99. I'd genuinely love your thoughts as fellow female founders:

  1. Does this solve a real pain point for you or women you know?
  2. What features would make you actually use (and pay for) a tool like this?
  3. Any brutal feedback on the app or positioning?

Happy to answer any questions about the tech, marketing struggles, or solo-founder life while working full-time. Thanks for reading
