Allow syncing of data between bearable and period trackers such as Clue for symptoms, cycle phase, and cycle length.
This would probably be easier than creating a period tracker from scratch, as some users have requested. Most people who menstruate already have a favorite tracker for that, so if this app could import their data that would be amazing.
+1 for syncing with Clue, Clue is pretty awesome.
Yes! I use Clue as well and this would be fabulous. As it is now, I just input all of my data into both apps.
Yessss please
This would be really helpful. I use Flo.
Oh yeah, this would be great. Especially if it can also auto-fill my PMS and menstruation days by importing the period app’s entries I fill in over there. I use both Clue, and My Calendar - Period Tracker.
(I’m testing them against each other to gauge each of their accuracy, but of course if Bearable would offer syncing, I’d only do one of them depending on which one wins by then. So far they both seem super accurate though!)
Since Clue disabled user access to local backups (thus deleting local data on update, without notice) I am not optimistic that this will be implemented. I switched to Bearable for this very reason, and it would be great if it included more period tracking features such as a calendar or a horizontal cycle bar.
Maybe it can be synced with Apple Health which is also synced to whatever cycle tracker app we’re using.
+1 for Clue!
Another +1 for clue
Another +1 for Clue! It’s a great menstrual tracker and I’d love to not have to enter the data twice. :)
This might even be “free” if we just get richer integration with Apple HealthKit and Google Health.
Most solid period-tracking apps write to those services, and this way the Bearable developers can avoid having to maintain a connection for each app
I stopped using Clue because they made a number of UI changes that totally threw off my usage of it, and were for a long time quite broken, for me. I’m now using OvuView, but it hasn’t stuck as a routine like Clue had. I’d love if Bearable had one built in, it would make things much easier.
+1 for Clue integration!
I suggest Glow app
https://www.fitrwoman.com/ integration could be helpful, as this also gives scientific input for our wellbeing (and can be linked to strava).
+1 for further healthkit integration - I use clue and sync it to Healthkit, so it would carry over! HealthKit is also doing a pretty good job with their native period tracking these days, which I didn’t realise until recently.
Please sync with Clue or Flo
+1 for Clue. Have been using it for years & would be nice to be able to view how various symptoms/moods correlate with one another.
I’m using readmybody and before was using Kindara. Readmybody syncs with a few different basal body temperature devices.
Please please can we get Bearable linked with the Cycle Tracking in Apple Health? I think it is really important and useful to see how our cycle affect energy levels, symptoms and other factors throughout the month. I have Lyme disease but would like to see how my cycle interacts with symptoms and energy.
A way to import information from another period tracker app (like my calendar) or sync the info into bearable. I have certain unknown health issues I’m trying to compare info with and going back and forth between two apps can get frustrating. I’d love to be able to see all info conveniently in one place! :)
Seconding Kate’s request! Love having as much native sync with Apple as possible and they’re doing a great job with their native tracker through the watch.
+1 for Flo integration! Would be so much easier than building a new category like I did!
Thank you everyone for upvoting this suggestion.
We haven’t forgotten about this! We will definitely look at adding more integrations.
As our dev team grows we hope to get around this suggestion as soon as we can.
Thank you all for bearing with us!
The Bearable Team
I’ve been using OvuView for almost ten years. I consider it the Bearable of period trackers with it’s ability to customize symptom tracking and view correlations and frequency of symptoms by cycle day.
(I have had a history of very varying irregularity and OvuView has always done a better job at predicting my cycles. You can turn on and off many, many different algorithms within based on what seems to be most accurate for you.)
It is also integrated with the TempDrop wearable basal thermometer for way easier temp tracking, even if you breastfeed or work alternate schedules.
They have great support and responsiveness, which souns like is lacking in some of the other apps.
Sync with Eve please!
+1 for Clue integration. I’ve been tracking there for over 8 years, I’d love to either be able to import previous info to get bearable up to speed (and phase out Clue) or get integration so I can use both with ease.
+1 for Clue!
I would like if I could import my data from Period Tracker. I have been using it for 5 years
+1 for clue, the reason I made this account was to suggest it but can see so many others have too, would be so helpful!
I use Flo, it syncs to apple heath, it would be great if I could see it on bearable, it would be easier to see symptoms that relate to the menstrual cycle.
Just to follow up on this, are people looking for the ability just to sync when they are menstruating, rather than selecting it as a factor in the app manually? As being able to sync other specific menstruation info would be trickier.
I would really just like it to sync from apple health the same way that sleep does. Seems like this would allow the greatest integration of apps on the iOS side since most apps seem to write to health. That to me would mean that apple health tells bearable I’m having my period and I could just add symptoms.
i can’t speak for others but personally I would like it to sync with the other app entirely so you can track the whole cycle, rather than just when you are actually menstruating as then you could just add it in as a factor. It’s much harder to track a whole cycle using factors, which is why I think being able to sync clue, flo etc would be so helpful
Yes I would love for it to sync with the Health app since I already track my menstruation there.
Hi James, and thanks for taking this up. I would need more info than just the time/period i.e. follicular phase of the cycle. It would be great if Bearable could additionally sync cycle-related symptoms also during e.g. ovulation or luteal phase as entered on Clue or Health - it’s the stage in the cycle that directs hormones and therefore overall wellbeing. Agree, that’s tricky :) it’s a key factor for physical and mental states though.
Yes for sync with Clue!
For me, it’s not enough to only know when I’m menstruating. I use Flo and already added some things I track there to my factors. But still, most important for me is the correlation between my cycle and period-related symptoms. I also find that Flo tracks and analyses more detailed than Clue
I’d like an option to track my cycle overall because symptoms usually aren’t correlated directly with my period. PMS and ovulation cause different symptoms, but I don’t always know when these are occurring without a native tracker.
I use Fitbit for period tracking so linking up with this would help me a great deal. I have a lot of past data on there so backdated would be even better.
Better to sync it with a universal aggregator of health tracker — meaning Goggle Fit. Many other trackers people use sync with google fit. (Unfortunately, not mine, Ovuview, so I have to input my data twice).
Syncing to an external period tracker is an adequate solution until you finish your software. It’s just not a medical or even a wellness tracker until menstruation is integral.
Another vote for syncing with Flo or Apple Health’s information regarding expected and actual period dates as well as flow intensity.
+1 for Clue !
+1 for clue
I’m old so I have a lot of historical data in Period Plus. Would be great to move it over.
+2!!! I wouldnt changed clue for a y app, sin mce it has so many data analysis, predictions, alerts and informative articles… If both apps could sync, Itd be great. One spend a lot of time tracking info in diferent apps…
Apple health has a menstrual cycle tracker. It would be great to include that data as part of the sync with apple health function. Same with the new(ish) medication tracker in apple health.
Or just have the ability to add where you are at in your cycle without having to sync to an app
+1 for ptracker as it also has ttc and symptom tracking
I believe Flo is the app that is most in line with Bearable. As it’s focused on providing insight based on the time of your cycle and based on the symptoms selected. Combining those insights into bearable would be amazing! I’d be happy even if I had to pay for both subscriptions to use it if a collaboration were to happen but it’d be super super helpful!
I use Flo. This feature would be the best 🥹
Now that Bearable syncs with Fitbit, could it also bring in period info? (Cycle day, phase, symptoms, etc)
Please this! It’s the feature that is missing most from bearable. What id be looking for ideally is mensuration, ovulation, luteul and follicular, but honestly even if it just had luteul and follicular that would be fine.
+1 for Clue, or at least the ability to input cycle days/ have cycle day start from the first day you mark bleeding etc. I can track a lot in clue but being able to export data from both would make it easier to find correlations
I use Stardust so it would be great if that was integrated, too!
Great idea
Stardust would be my request
I would love it if Bearable would since with Clue, which I used to use, and Flo, which I now use. Or with Apple Health’s tracker since it’s synced with the other apps. If bearable built a good menstrual tracker so I could get rid of the others that would be cool, but I’d be afraid that it would lose the data from before.
Either way, tracking cycles is really important for tracking symptoms for me.
Seconding this suggestion. I’d love to see auto-sync with Apple Health (and other apps others might use).
Another vote for Apple health integration. Medications and cycle. This would be super helpful, and most apps sync with it already.
It would be great to at least be able to sync with Apple Health!
Either a sync or a very minimal tracking of cycle time, flow amount, mood (already there), cravings, and predictions after a few cycles. It would be very helpful to open Bearable up and see, hey you may crave x, y, z so be vigilant!
Sync w/ Natural Cycles data would be great!
Ability to input and predict periods and period phases would be great. As this has a big impact on female health and how your body responds to things.
Agreed on all of this - being able to track symptoms against day of cycle is so important and I was surprised Bearable doesn’t already have cycle day as an option. Read/write from apple health would be great.
