Dear curious newsletter subscribers & drip enthusiasts,

we are so happy & excited to share with you the good news: the open source period app drip is out now for iOS!

❤️‍🔥 https://dripapp.org/ios 🔐

Our efforts to build a period app that keeps data safe and secure have become even more important after the devastating decision of the Supreme Court in the US overturning Roe v. Wade.

Thanks to all the support that we received over the last months! Some of you wrote motivational messages to us, some of you started to contribute, some of you became beta testers for the iOS version, some of you provided feedback.

Please spread the good news, tell your friends or anyone who might be interested. If you're on Twitter, feel free to share the announcement tweet: https://twitter.com/dripberlin/status/123

It would also be fantastic if you could leave a rating on the App Store and if possible a review as well, no matter how short, this only takes a few minutes and really helps new people discover our app.

Last but not least: we will be looking for funding in the upcoming months. If you can think of anyone we should talk to we would appreciate any pointers, hints or introductions!

Best wishes
the drips

Maria Zadnepryanets, Sofiya Tepikin and Marie Kochsiek
