7 Best Period-Tracking Apps for Modern Women

Remember the days before smart phones, when you might jot a little “p” in your calendar so you could schedule your beach vacation around your period — or at least make sure you threw a tampon in your purse on your way out to dinner? Now, like everything else in life, tracking your menstrual cycle is is as simple as tapping on your phone — in fact, period-tracking apps are part of a booming industry called “Femtech.”

But experts warns that you should be mindful about privacy when you use any health app. “Be careful about putting any personal medical information in an app — it’s not always protected, a recent report by the Norwegian Consumer Council that found that 10 popular apps — including two period trackers — were sharing personal data with more than 135 different companies.

  1. Period Tracker: Best for Making Your Period (Kind of) Fun: Period Tracker

Popular with both teens and 40-somethings, this app uses adorable, emoji-like graphics to track not only the dates of your period, the heaviness of your flow, and your estimated ovulation dates, but a huge range of symptoms and emotions, from salty cravings to neck aches, from “gloomy” to “refreshed.” One teen told us she likes that it shows up on her phone as “P Tracker,” so no one has to know what that app sitting next to TikTok and Instagram is about.

Available on iOS and Android

2. Clue: Best for Health Info

By far one of the most popular period tracking apps, Clue boasts an extensive encyclopedia of health articles and lets you track everything from how your hair is doing to how much sleep you’re getting during your cycle. Though Clue was one of the apps cited in the Norwegian Consumer Council report, the company currently states on its web site: “We will never sell your data or use it to show you personalized ads.”

3. MySisters: Best for Perimenopause

A 50-year-old is going to have very different reasons for tracking her period than a teenager who just got her first period or a woman who is trying to conceive. This app is designed specifically to track erratic periods and symptoms such as hot flashes, migraines, and anxiety — use the data to discuss symptoms and treatments with your doctor.

4. Apple Health: Best for Just the Basics

You know that app with the little pink heart that comes already installed on your iPhone? Well, it also contains an option to track your period. It’s pretty basic, and the graphics are minimal at best. But it’s free, it’s easy to use, and it does the job.

Available on your iPhone

5. Flo: Best for Answering Every Question

The “chats” feature of this app allows you to ask the weirdest and most intimate questions completely anonymously (strange body odors? sex while on your period? funky discharge?). It also includes a huge library of helpful articles.

7. Glow: Best for Fertility Tracking

Glow not only tracks your period and symptoms, but it crunches the numbers and spits out data such as: “You have a 29% chance of getting pregnant today.” This can be very helpful if you’re trying to get pregnant, but keep in mind that it can be risky if you’re trying not to get pregnant.

There are specialized applications — But the monitoring cycles and characteristics of basic applications are always necessary for the average woman. With this in mind, here are the free period-tracking apps I would recommend.
