Looking for a Breathe ilo alternative?
Breathe ilo is a breath-analysis device with a companion app that estimates cycle phases from a short daily measurement. MoodSwings is a different shape of app — and this page is an honest comparison rather than a pitch, so the table starts with what Breathe ilo does better.
Breathe ilo vs MoodSwings, side by side
| Breathe ilo | MoodSwings | |
|---|---|---|
| Known for | Breathe ilo is a breath-analysis device with a companion app that estimates cycle phases from a short daily measurement. | A calm period tracker built around how you actually feel: next-period and cycle-phase estimates, mood and symptom logging in a few taps, PMS patterns over time, and optional partner sharing. |
| Genuinely better at | A non-invasive daily measurement that does not involve temperature at all — a genuinely different approach. | MoodSwings takes no measurement of any kind. It estimates from your own logged history and spends its effort on the mood side instead. |
| Day to day it feels like | The app is the readout for a device or test strips you buy — precise fertility data, but there is kit to keep using and replacing. | One screen, a few taps a day. Dates, mood and symptoms in the same place — and if you want, a partner view where you choose what is visible. |
Stay with Breathe ilo if…
…you already own the device and the daily measurement suits you.
We would rather you kept an app that fits than switched and stopped logging after a fortnight. A half-used tracker cannot show you a pattern.
MoodSwings is a wellness tracker, not a medical device, and makes no clinical claims — its dates are estimates from your own logged cycles.
What you get if you do switch
- Predictions that learn your pattern. Next-period, cycle-day and cycle-phase estimates that adjust as you log, instead of assuming a textbook 28 days.
- Mood and symptoms next to your dates. Cramps, bloating, sleep, energy, cravings and how you felt — logged in a few taps, kept as history.
- Your PMS pattern, over months. The days before your period stop being a surprise once you can see them repeating.
- Ovulation and fertile-window estimates when you want them, from your own logged cycles.
- Optional partner sharing, on your terms. You choose whether to share at all and what a partner can see — it is off until you turn it on.
