What is erased and what remains

The reset clears every saved period start and end, every daily memo, and every sexual-activity mark. It does not erase only the selected month. The app returns to a calendar with no recorded periods and asks WidgetKit to reload the home-screen widget.

Appearance, language, cycle and period-length settings, week start, and notification preferences remain in the app. Reset records is therefore different from reinstalling the app or erasing the entire iPhone.

How to reset

Open MiniCycle Settings and scroll to the red Reset records row at the bottom. Tapping it opens a confirmation alert. Nothing is deleted if you choose Cancel. Choosing the red Reset button clears the records immediately and cannot be undone in the app.

If only one date is wrong, edit or delete that period entry instead. A full reset is not a shortcut for correcting one record.

iCloud Sync is not a reset backup

When iCloud Sync is enabled, resetting clears the local records and triggers an attempt to save the empty state to CloudKit. If the upload succeeds, the synced state is empty too. If the network or iCloud account is unavailable, synchronization can fail, so check the sync status rather than assuming every copy changed immediately.

Turning on iCloud Sync immediately before resetting does not create an independent archive. If you must preserve the information outside MiniCycle, record it separately before confirming the reset.

After the reset

Without a period start date, MiniCycle cannot anchor a next-period prediction. After you log a new start, automatic settings use a 29-day cycle and 5-day period until enough records exist to calculate from your history.

Reset records clears MiniCycle data, but it is not a complete preparation for giving away a phone. Follow Apple's full sign-out and device-erasure instructions before transferring ownership.
