THE DIFFERENCE
The same warning, two ways
Free is not a crippled version — it tells you everything that is happening, plainly. What you are buying is the app having a personality about it. Here is the same notification in both voices.
Three days before her period is due
Plain — free
Heads up
Sarah's period is expected in about 3 days.
Tactical — full version
Three days out
Begin Operation Suspiciously Helpful.
Unfiltered — full version, 18+
Three days out
You know exactly what you always get wrong. Don't do that.
The day the shopping still has time to happen
Plain — free
Quick check
Does the house have pads or tampons and pain relief before Sarah's period starts?
Tactical — full version
Supply run
Tampons, ibuprofen, chocolate. Three items. Men have landed on the moon with less.
Unfiltered — full version, 18+
Supply run
Buy the good stuff, put it where she'll find it, and say absolutely nothing about it.
When it is over
Plain — free
All clear
Looks like Sarah's period has wrapped up.
Tactical — full version
DEFCON 5
You survived. Nobody will ever know what you did here.
Unfiltered — full version, 18+
Stand down
Start being useful now so it doesn't look like damage control later. Which it is.
Unfiltered is blunter than Tactical, not filthier — the examples above are real lines from it. A small number of Unfiltered lines do contain swearing, and those are the ones this site never prints. The rule does not change with the volume: the joke is aimed at you, never at her. It is 18+, off by default, and available only for partner profiles.
WHY ONE PAYMENT
There is nothing here to rent you
A subscription pays for something that costs money every month — a server, an account system, an AI writing your advice. HeadsUpDaddy has none of those. The cycle maths runs on your phone, the jokes were written once, and her data never leaves the device. Charging you monthly for that would be charging you for nothing.
QUESTIONS
About the money
No. It is a single in-app purchase of $2.99, once. There is no recurring charge of any kind, and no plan to add one.
No. It has no trial period and no time limit. Track one person in the plain voice for as long as you like, at no cost, with no account.
Nothing. You keep the DEFCON dial, every notification, the daily briefing and the widgets for one person, in the plain voice, forever. Free is a complete product, not a demo.
Yes. Family Sharing is enabled, so the purchase covers everyone in your Apple Family group at no extra cost.
You keep everyone you have already added. The purchase gates adding someone new, never the people already there — your data is never deleted because of a refund.
No, in either version. There is no advertising SDK in the app, no analytics and no crash reporter.
Try it free first
Download it, track one person, see whether it is any use. The upgrade is in Settings when and if you want it.
