PCOSGenie FAQ – Your Friendly Guide 🌸
Quick answers about how PCOSGenie works, what it offers, and what's next.
What is PCOSGenie?
PCOSGenie is your friendly online companion for PCOS. Instead of overwhelming articles, strict plans, and trackers that harvest your personal data, we give you simple food swaps, easy micro-habits, on-device tracking and PCOS-friendly insights to make life with PCOS lighter and more manageable. Think of it as a gentle genie in your browser — always ready with support.
How is PCOSGenie different from other PCOS apps?
Most apps feel heavy with long meal plans, calorie trackers, or medical jargon. They collect personal data and harvest your data without your consent. PCOSGenie is no-frills, browser-based, and approachable. Your data stays on your device. You don’t need to download anything, and you won’t be flooded with complicated features. We focus on small, practical steps you can actually use in daily life.
Do I need to download an app?
Nope! 🎉 PCOSGenie lives right in your browser. Just open www.pcosgenie.com on your phone, tablet, or laptop, and start using it instantly.
Is PCOSGenie free to use?
Yes, you can use PCOSGenie for free with daily swaps, habit suggestions, and private tracking. If you’d like more swaps, unlimited access, and extra features, we also have a Pro plan (coming soon).
What tools does PCOSGenie offer?
We currently have four hero tools: FoodSwap 🥗 – Instantly suggests PCOS-friendly alternatives to your cravings. MicroHabits ✨ – Gives you tiny daily actions (2–30 mins) to build healthier routines. EasyLog 📝 – Keeps track of your bleed, mood, symptoms, and disruptors on your device. PCOSByte 📚 – A pocket-sized library of clear answers to common PCOS questions.
Who is PCOSGenie for?
PCOSGenie is designed for: • Women newly diagnosed with PCOS • Those feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice • Anyone struggling with cravings or habit-building • Busy women who want quick, PCOS-specific solutions
How does FoodSwap work?
Simply type in what you’re craving (like “ice cream” or “maggi”), add context (late-night, on period, eating out, etc.), and PCOSGenie will suggest healthier, PCOS-friendly swaps — with a clear why and how behind the choice.
What are MicroHabits?
MicroHabits are tiny, doable actions designed especially for women with PCOS. You choose your available time (2, 10, or 30 minutes), and we suggest a simple habit — like a quick stretch, mindful breathing, or prepping a snack — that actually makes a difference.
What is EasyLog?
EasyLog is a calm, private tracker inside PCOSGenie. Log bleed, mood, symptoms, and disruptors in seconds. Your entries stay on your device and gradually turn into gentle, easy-to-skim insights.
What can I log with EasyLog?
You can log bleed (none/spotting/light/medium/heavy), mood, symptoms (e.g., cramps, fatigue, acne), and disruptors (e.g., stress, travel, illness, missed meds, diet slip). Keep it simple—just a few taps.
Where is my EasyLog data stored?
On your device. We use private, local browser storage so your logs don’t leave your phone or laptop by default. There’s no automatic cloud sync.
Can I export or import my logs?
Yes. You can export your data (e.g., to .xlsx) for backup or sharing with a clinician, and import past logs if you’re moving devices. We keep the process simple and optional.
Are my logs shared with anyone?
No. Your logs stay on your device and are not shared unless you choose to export them. We don’t post or publish your entries anywhere.
Can PCOSGenie replace medical advice?
No. PCOSGenie is a lifestyle companion, not a medical app. We don’t provide medical diagnosis or prescriptions. Our role is to make daily PCOS life easier with friendly lifestyle swaps and micro-habits. For medical concerns, always consult your doctor.
Is my data safe on PCOSGenie?
Yes 💙. We don’t ask for unnecessary personal details. Any preferences you save (like diet type or favorite swaps) are only used to improve your experience. Features like EasyLog are private-first: your logs are stored on your device (not the cloud) and stay with you unless you choose to export them. Your privacy is important to us.
Do you offer support for different diets and cuisines?
Yes! PCOSGenie works across multiple cuisines — Indian, Mediterranean, Asian, Mexican, and more. It also supports vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, so you’ll always find something that fits your lifestyle.
Warm Note for Users:
PCOSGenie is built with empathy and care, shaped by women who’ve lived with or worked closely with PCOS. Our promise is to always keep things simple, helpful, and supportive - like having a friendly genie by your side.
