What's a good alternative to Clue?

By the Plum team · Updated October 12, 2026
This page is general information, not medical advice. For questions about your own cycle or health, talk to a doctor, nurse, or other clinician who knows you.

The quick answer

If you’re on iPhone and want something simpler, try Plum. It has no ads, never asks to track you, gives you period, fertile window and ovulation predictions at no cost, and imports your Clue history in a few taps. If you want nothing on any server, pick Euki. If you want more features than Clue, or you’re on Android, Flo is the biggest app in the category. Apple’s Cycle Tracking is the zero-install option.

Why people look for a Clue alternative

Clue is a careful app, and plenty of people stay. Its privacy policy says all data is stored on servers in the EU and that the health data you track is never shared with or sold to advertisers. People still leave for two reasons. The first is cost. Clue’s home page puts basic cycle predictions in the free plan and keeps advanced predictions, tracking modes and Clue Connect sharing for Clue Plus. The second is tracking. Clue’s App Store label lists Identifiers under Data Used to Track You, and its privacy policy says it uses Adjust, with your advertising identifier, to measure its ads. The same policy says Adjust can’t see the health data you track.

How we chose

We make Plum, one of the apps below, and there are no affiliate links here. We read each company’s site, privacy pages and App Store listing on October 12, 2026 and link them all at the bottom. Where a source was silent, we wrote “not stated”. Each app is here because it’s the best answer to one reason for leaving Clue. We didn’t list prices, because they change by country and month.

Plum, for a simpler iPhone tracker you can bring your Clue history to

Plum is our app. Logging a day takes a tap or two. You can track 27 things in four groups, including flow, pain, mood, energy, sleep, cravings, discharge, sex, exercise, the pill and ovulation and pregnancy tests. It predicts your next period, fertile window and ovulation and adjusts as you log. When your cycles vary it shows a range, and until it has seen enough cycles it says it’s still learning. It tracks seven birth control methods and reminds you about the pill, patch, ring and shot. You can also make a private group by invite link, where friends see each other’s period days on one timeline. Symptoms and moods stay private.

Ask Clue for a copy of your data to move across. You’ll find the request in Clue’s account settings. Clue emails a link to a zip file and shows you its password. Download the zip on your iPhone and choose it in Plum. Plum opens it on the phone and shows what it found before anything is saved. Your period days, flow and symptoms come across, and entries Plum doesn’t track stay behind.

Logging, the calendar, predictions, reminders, birth control tracking and groups come with the app at no cost. Plum Premium adds insights and the full phase tips. There are no ads, Plum never sells your data, and it never uses it for advertising. The App Store label has nothing under Data Used to Track You. Be clear on the limits, though. Plum is iPhone only, with no iPad layout, Apple Watch app or widget, and no Apple Health sync. There’s no free-text notes box. Your data is stored encrypted on Plum’s servers with a copy on the phone, so it isn’t on-device only. Plum and your data lists every service that touches it.

Euki, for no account and no server

Euki is open source and run by a US nonprofit. Its privacy FAQ says everything you enter stays on your device, with no accounts and no cloud servers. It predicts your period, tracks symptoms and pregnancy, and works in English and Spanish on iPhone and Android. There’s no paywall. The catch is that there’s no backup either, so a new phone means starting again.

Flo, for even more features than Clue

Flo calls itself the world’s top women’s health app and says over 420 million people use it. It covers periods, ovulation, pregnancy and perimenopause, with a health library, a symptom checker and Flo for Partners. It’s on iPhone and Android. Its privacy policy says it will never sell your data. Its App Store label lists Purchases, Location, Identifiers and Usage Data under Data Used to Track You, which is more than Clue’s. Our Flo alternatives guide covers its 2021 FTC settlement and Anonymous Mode.

Apple Cycle Tracking, for nothing new to install

Cycle Tracking is part of the Health app. It logs periods, symptoms, spotting and basal body temperature, and predicts your next period and a six-day fertile window. Apple says Health data synced to iCloud is end-to-end encrypted when two-factor authentication is on.

drip, for open source with temperature tracking

drip is a volunteer project whose site says everything you enter stays on your device. It can track fertility by the symptothermal method. Its FAQ links a volunteer Clue-to-drip converter and says the drip team didn’t build it and doesn’t run it.

Stardust, for friends, moon phases and horoscopes

Stardust is on iPhone and Android with a free version and a subscription called Stardust Super, which adds daily horoscopes and tarot. Friend Sync lets friends share cycles by code, and it syncs with Apple Health and Oura. Its data page says it doesn’t sell data. Its App Store label lists Purchases, Identifiers and Usage Data under Data Used to Track You.

What to look for before you switch

  • Export from Clue before you delete it. Deleting the app doesn’t delete your account, and you’ll want the file either way.
  • Read the Data Used to Track You section on the new app’s App Store listing. The developer fills it in, and it takes seconds to read.
  • Pick backup or on-device on purpose. A synced app survives a lost phone. An on-device app has nothing on a server to leak.
  • Check the features you’d miss. Apple Health sync, notes and Android are the usual ones.

Common questions

What is a good alternative to Clue?

Plum is a good alternative to Clue if you use an iPhone and want something simpler. It has no ads, never asks to track you, and predicts your period, fertile window and ovulation at no cost. It can also import your Clue history. Euki is the pick if you want everything kept on your phone with no account. Flo is the pick if you want even more features than Clue and an Android app. We make Plum, and we read every other company's pages on October 12, 2026.

Can I transfer my data from Clue to another app?

Yes. In Clue's account settings you can ask for a copy of your data, and Clue emails a link to a zip file protected by a password it shows you. Plum on iPhone reads that file directly. It opens the zip on your phone, shows you what it found, and adds your period days, flow and symptoms to your calendar. Anything Plum doesn't track stays behind, and anything you've already logged in Plum is left as it is. The drip project links a volunteer Clue-to-drip converter on its FAQ.

Is there a free alternative to Clue?

Euki says it's 100% free with no paywalls, and Apple's Cycle Tracking comes with every iPhone. Plum includes logging, the calendar, predictions for your period, fertile window and ovulation, reminders, birth control tracking and groups at no cost, and its Premium subscription adds insights and the full phase tips. Clue's own free plan includes basic cycle predictions, with advanced predictions and Clue Connect in Clue Plus.

Does Clue track you?

Clue's App Store privacy label lists Identifiers under Data Used to Track You. Its privacy policy says it uses Adjust for ad attribution, which uses your advertising identifier, and says Adjust has no access to the health data you track. The same policy says your health data is never shared with or sold to advertisers. Plum's label has nothing under Data Used to Track You, and Euki's and drip's read Data Not Collected.

Is there a Clue alternative that keeps data on my phone?

Euki and drip keep everything on the device. Neither has an account or a server, and both App Store labels read Data Not Collected. That also means there's no backup, so a lost phone takes your history with it. Apple's Cycle Tracking keeps data on the phone and can back it up to iCloud with end-to-end encryption. Plum stores your data encrypted on its servers, so it isn't an on-device tracker.

Which Clue alternative works with Apple Health?

Apple's own Cycle Tracking lives inside the Health app. Stardust's FAQ describes syncing with Apple Health and Oura. Clue itself can read and write Health data if you allow it. Plum doesn't sync with Apple Health, so if that matters to you, it's the wrong pick.

Track it with PlumA period tracker for iPhone with no ads.

Plum logs your period in two taps and predicts your next period, fertile window and ovulation. We never sell your data.
