Clue has got you covered if you’re on the lookout for a gender-neutral period-tracking app. It uses gender-inclusive language and provides resources that cater to the LGBTQIA community as well. Another good aspect of Clue is its customizability, so you can choose what to log and what not to. As per Clue, you can predict your period cycle up to three months in advance, which is on par with most apps on offer. There’s also an option for pregnancy tracking if required.

Glow

Glow is a data-driven period-tracking app that presents all of your data in the form of graphs and PDFs, and they can be printed or shared, too. It tracks your period, ovulation, sexual activity, and body basal temperature. Your partner can access these details if you add them to the app. With time, Glow understands your cycle and makes smarter predictions. It’s a great app for family planning and people undergoing fertility treatment.

Android iOS

Ovia

Ovia has a host of fertility-tracking features, making it a popular choice if you’re trying to get pregnant. Based on factors such as ovulation, cervical position, and basal body temperature, it provides you with a daily fertility score (possibility of pregnancy on that particular day). However, it’s not suggested to use this as a measure for birth control. Although pregnancy-focused, you can track your flow when required. Despite these great features, Ovia is absolutely free of cost. (Ovia has a sister app that helps track your baby’s growth, too.)

Natural Cycles

Natural Cycles is the first FDA-approved birth-control app. In order to predict the fertility window, the app requires daily body temperature readings in the morning with a basal thermometer, period cycle details, PMS symptoms, etc. Based on these details, the app states if the day is non-fertile (Green signal) or fertile (Red signal). While the app is great for planning or preventing fertility, you cannot solely rely on it.

Android iOS
