Short answer
Enabling App Lock in Cyca's Settings requires Face ID, Touch ID, or your iPhone passcode every time the app opens from background or cold launch. Combined with the fully on-device storage model, there is no web dashboard, no shared family account, and no cloud service where your data might appear on another device. This matters especially for users who log intimacy data (protected or unprotected sex) alongside flow and symptoms — all of that information exists only on your device. Cyca has no network dependency for any of its core tracking features: cycle data, logs, and forecasts all work without any internet connection. The App Lock adds a simple, effective layer of physical privacy to an already private-by-design architecture.
Try Cyca on a real example first, and check the current App Store listing for exact features and pricing before you decide.

Quick comparison
| Need | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Check whether useful features require a subscription, a one-time unlock, or neither. | The cheapest app on day one may not be cheapest after a year. |
| Privacy model | Prefer on-device work when the content is sensitive. | Private documents, resumes, study data, and family content deserve careful handling. |
| Export / lock-in | Confirm file formats, sharing, backup, and deletion controls. | A good app should help you finish the task, not trap your work. |
