Growing Grace

A safe, gentle app for girls ages 8–17 to learn about their bodies, understand their period, and optionally track their cycle — no pressure, at their own pace.

I’m an amateur developer who decided to create something meaningful after struggling to find a period app suitable for my daughter. Most of the options available focused heavily on topics like sex and ovulation, which didn’t feel age-appropriate for where she is right now. I wanted something that simply helped her understand her body in a gentle, supportive, and educational way without overwhelming her. When I couldn’t find that, I chose to build it myself—creating a safe space for young girls to learn, grow, and feel comfortable with the changes happening in their bodies.
