Looking for a MyDays X alternative?
MyDays X is a long-running period and ovulation calendar with more than twenty symptom fields, reminders and a user community chat. MoodSwings is a different shape of app — and this page is an honest comparison rather than a pitch, so the table starts with what MyDays X does better.
MyDays X vs MoodSwings, side by side
| MyDays X | MoodSwings | |
|---|---|---|
| Known for | MyDays X is a long-running period and ovulation calendar with more than twenty symptom fields, reminders and a user community chat. | 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 | Depth of logging and longevity — a lot of optional fields, a pregnancy mode, and a user base that has been with it for years. | MoodSwings ships far fewer fields on purpose, so a daily log takes seconds and the mood history stays complete enough to read a pattern from. |
| Day to day it feels like | A full period-tracking app: calendar, logging, predictions and reading material, with cycle tracking as the main event. | 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 MyDays X if…
…you use the wider symptom fields or the community, and filling them in is part of the habit.
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.
