I'm not in this race, but wouldn't it make more sense at this late stage, to simply not use any a phone apps whatsoever anymore? For this?

Big Evil Tech is going to take everything from us. Why would any educated people still use a period-tracking app? I'm sure going back to pre-cellphone, pen & paper calculations would be better?

    We shouldn't have to go back to pen & paper to avoid big tech; that's an absurd overreaction to the point of almost coming across as a strawman argument. We should expect to have privacy-respecting alternatives (e.g. from F-Droid, as others in the thread are mentioning) available, as well as effective consumer protection laws.

    The solution is not to just give up; the solution is to force the world to get better.
