DEFCON levels
What each number and label means, and why colour is never the only signal.
Consent & Show Her
How the app requires acknowledgement first, and what she can see and delete.
Daughter profiles
Plain tone only, no fertility features — structurally, not by a toggle.
Irregular cycles
How confidence states widen the window instead of guessing with false precision.
Backup & restore
Optional encrypted export, passphrase-protected, yours to keep.
Uninstalling
Deletes everything, irrecoverably — there's no server to restore from.

Frequently asked questions
It's the app's threat-level dial for a profile, from 5 (All Clear) down to 1 (Maximum Threat), plus a ON DUTY state for logged bleeding days. It's derived from the predicted cycle phase and always shown with its number and label, never colour alone.
From the dates you log, using an average of recent cycles with automatic outlier rejection so one missed log doesn't poison future predictions. Confidence is shown honestly as high, low, or estimate — it never presents a guess as certain.
HeadsUpDaddy requires you to acknowledge, before a profile becomes active, that she knows about the app or that you intend to tell her. It also includes a read-only Show Her screen with a working delete button. See Yes, She Knows for details.
No. HeadsUpDaddy is not medical advice, not a contraceptive, and not a fertility treatment. It should never be used for family planning of any kind, including avoiding or achieving pregnancy.
Yes to tracking, no to jokes. Daughter profiles are locked to the neutral Plain tone tier and have no fertility-tracking features at all — not turned off, structurally absent.
The app widens its prediction window and delays nagging you about a missed period when confidence is low. With very little history it labels predictions as an estimate rather than guessing with false precision.
Everything is deleted, irrecoverably. There's no server and no account, so there's nothing for us to restore. Export an encrypted backup first if you want to keep a copy.
Yes — an optional, passphrase-protected encrypted export you save or share yourself. We never see the passphrase or the file, and we cannot recover it if you lose it.
Yes, free with no in-app purchases and no subscriptions.
The default Tactical tone is military-comedy framing, no profanity. A third tier, Unfiltered, is opt-in, partner-profiles-only, allows profanity, and is what sets the 17+ rating. It never appears on this site or in App Store screenshots.
