What is Nadi and what does it do?

Nadi is a cycle-awareness tool that treats your menstrual cycle as a foundation for how you feel, live and work. Instead of asking you to open yet another app, it places your four cycle phases directly into the Google or Apple calendar you already plan in. It is aimed at two audiences — individuals who want to plan around their cycle, and workplaces that want to become more cycle-aware — and it is currently in beta, onboarding early users rather than operating as a finished public product.

What problem it solves

Most planning tools assume every day works the same way. Nadi starts from the opposite premise: how you feel, focus and recover shifts across your cycle, so your calendar should reflect that. The practical benefit is that you stop manually blocking out "low energy" periods and instead see your phases sitting alongside standups, deep work, workouts and social plans — where you already look every day.

One early user quoted on the site, a career coach, describes having done this by hand: putting a placeholder in Outlook the week before her period and calling it "slow down week". Nadi's pitch is that this can be automatic rather than a manual habit.

How it works

The mechanism is deliberately narrow:

1. Understand — you learn how your menstrual cycle shapes how you feel, live and work.
2. Integrate — your four phases (follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and the menstrual phase shown in the site's calendar view) are added to the Google or Apple calendar you already use.
3. Take action — you plan day to day against that rhythm rather than against a flat week.

The calendar preview on the site shows a normal month of real-life entries — standups, school runs, deep work, gym, dinners — with phase labels layered underneath. That is the whole idea: no separate dashboard to check.

Who it is for

For individuals, the entry point is becoming an early user and adding your cycle to your calendar. For workplaces, there are two distinct routes: a free scorecard, and a structured pilot.

The workplace side

The workplace offering is framed around a specific question: how menstrual cycle-aware is your workplace? The free self-assessment is informed by BS ISO 45010 (ISO 45010:2026), takes about 3 minutes, and covers 12 questions across six areas, returning a scorecard plus practical next steps.

Beyond the scorecard, a Nadi Workplace Cohort is described as a time-boxed pilot that helps experienced women keep doing their best work. If you are evaluating this for an organisation, the scorecard is the low-commitment starting point; the cohort is the structured follow-on.

Data and privacy stance

The site's own heading is "Your cycle. Your data." — positioning cycle data as belonging to the user. Note that the available material states this positioning but does not detail storage, sharing or deletion practices, so if data handling is a deciding factor for you, treat that as something to confirm directly before signing up.

Current status and what to expect

Nadi is in beta. The site invites you to "join our early users" and to add your cycle to your calendar, which means you should expect an early-stage product rather than a mature one. The site references subscribing, but no pricing, plan tiers or payment details are published in the material available — so cost and access terms are not something you can assume either way. If budget matters, ask before committing.

How to decide

• You want cycle-aware planning without a new app — the calendar integration is the core reason to try it, and it is the feature early users single out most.
• You are assessing this for a team — start with the free BS ISO 45010-informed scorecard, then consider whether a time-boxed cohort fits.
• You need confirmed pricing, data-handling terms, or a stable release — those are not established in the current material; get answers first, since the product is still in beta.
