Best period tracker apps in 2026

Start with Flo or Clue: both predict your next period and fertile window, log symptoms and moods, and switch to a pregnancy mode, with extra insights on a subscription. Clue is based in Berlin under GDPR; Flo has an Anonymous Mode. On a Samsung phone, Samsung Health already has cycle tracking. Details below. This is not medical advice, and an app is not contraception.

How we picked: a cycle tracker has to predict well, make logging quick and keep sensitive data safe. We checked each app’s own store description for predictions, symptom logging, what needs a subscription and what it says about privacy.

Flo or Clue

Flo lets you log dozens of symptoms and moods, supports irregular cycles, has an Anonymous Mode that does not link your name or email, and moves into week-by-week pregnancy tracking; deeper insights are in Flo Premium. Clue predicts your period and fertile window, tracks birth control, has modes for trying to conceive, pregnancy and perimenopause, and layers in data from Apple Watch, Oura, Fitbit and others; more analysis is in Clue Plus.

Cycle tracking without a separate app

On Android, Samsung Health includes cycle tracking for the menstrual cycle and related symptoms, so on a Samsung phone you may not need anything else.
