Softly Intelligence

Softly Intelligence turns the information you log into gentle observations — always on your device, and never a diagnosis.

Engine 1.2.0 · Knowledge base 2026.08.1

What it does

It looks across your days and cycles and tells you what it notices: a symptom that keeps coming back in the same phase, periods that have become heavier, a mood that changes before your period. It describes what it sees in your data, cites where the information comes from, and tells you when something is worth mentioning to a doctor.

It looks only at what you enter. Your logs are never sent to a server to be analysed.

How it works

You log your days. Flow, pain, mood, energy, symptoms, tests, temperature, medicines, digestion, activity and more. Log only what you want to.
Softly finds patterns. It groups your days by cycle and phase and looks for things that repeat across more than one cycle.
Rules decide what is worth saying. Every rule is written in advance, based on clinical guidance and linked to its sources. There is no generative AI: the same data always gives the same result, so you can follow exactly why Softly says what it says.
A safety check comes last. The most important messages always come first, and every suggestion reminds you that it does not replace a doctor.

Our principles

Observations, never diagnoses. Softly says "in your data I notice…", never "you have…". It does not name a condition as yours.
A missing day is not a "no". If you didn't log something, Softly treats it as unknown. It never assumes you were fine.
Enough data before speaking. Patterns and correlations need at least two or three complete cycles. With less data, Softly stays quiet.
Associations, not causes. When stress or sleep seem to go together with pain or mood, Softly says so as an observation and never claims one causes the other.
Safety first. Signs that need prompt attention always come before everything else.
No contraceptive claims. Fertile-window and ovulation estimates help you understand your body. They are not a method of contraception.
Every rule has a source. Guidance comes from the NHS, NICE, ACOG and the World Health Organization.

What it looks at

Cycle rhythm — cycle length, regularity and cycles that may not have ovulated.
Ovulation — basal temperature, LH tests and cervical mucus, confirmed when at least two of them agree.
Symptoms and pain — premenstrual patterns, pain that is rising over time and pain that stays severe.
Medicines — painkillers that cluster around your period.
Weight — notable changes over time.
Pregnancy mode — week-by-week guidance, appointments and warning signs.
Digestion (new) — bloating, nausea, constipation or diarrhea that concentrate in one phase of your cycle.
Lifestyle (new) — how stress, alcohol, sleep, illness and physical activity go together with pain, mood, energy and cycle length.
Spotting (new) — spotting mid-cycle, before your period or after sex, read in context with hormonal contraception.
Pregnancy tests (new) — a positive test with a late period, and positive tests that come with pain or bleeding.

What's new in Softly 2.0

Six topics that many women live with, often for years without noticing a pattern. For each one, this is when Softly speaks up and what it suggests.

Heavy periods and iron

When: periods that last more than 7 days, or heavy flow for 3 or more days, in at least two cycles. Tiredness logged around those days makes the message more specific.

Suggests: talking to a doctor, who can also check your iron with a simple blood test.

Mood before your period (PMDD)

When: very low mood, anxiety or irritability that appear in the days before your period and ease within a few days after it starts, in at least 2 of your last 3 cycles.

Suggests: talking to a doctor, and seeking emotional support if it weighs on your days.

Absent periods

When: no period for more than 90 days, after at least one logged cycle.

Stays quiet: in pregnancy mode, after a recent positive test, with hormonal contraception, while breastfeeding or in the year after giving birth, and from age 55.

Suggests: talking to a doctor.

Perimenopause

When: from age 40, when your cycle length changes by 7 days or more between cycles, more than once. Poor sleep, mood changes or vaginal dryness make it a gentle suggestion. Never below 40.

Suggests: mentioning it at your next check-up.

Menstrual migraine

When: headaches from 2 days before to 3 days after your period starts, in at least 2 of your last 3 cycles.

Suggests: keeping a headache diary and talking to a doctor. If you use hormonal contraception, Softly gives no advice about medicines and only suggests talking to your doctor.

Changes in discharge

When: unusual, clumpy white or grey discharge on several days, especially together with itching.

Suggests: a doctor or a pharmacist can help.

Three kinds of message

Informational — something Softly noticed in your data, to help you know your body better.
Gentle suggestion — a pattern that may be worth mentioning to a doctor, with no alarm.
Important signal — signs that need prompt medical attention. They always appear first.

What it doesn't do

It doesn't diagnose, doesn't prescribe treatment and doesn't share your data. Insights are observations, not medical advice: predictions are estimates based on your personal history, and they can change.

If you have severe pain, heavy bleeding, a positive pregnancy test with pain or bleeding, or thoughts of harming yourself, contact a doctor or your local emergency number straight away. You can also find support on the safety page.

Open by design

Softly Intelligence is built to be inspectable rather than hidden. Its source will be published openly, like Softly Knowledge — this page will link to it once it's available.
