Know Her vs
Clue Connect

Clue Connect shows you dates. Not mood, not energy, not anything you'd actually act on — and only if she pays and invites you.

★  More than a calendar peek
Know Her period tracker app — home screen widget showing her cycle phase

Clue Connect wasn't built for partners. It was built for "anyone she trusts" — a friend, a sister, you. That's the problem.

Clue is a well-regarded period tracker — for women. Connect is a generic sharing feature bolted on so she can loop in anyone: a partner, a friend, a family member. Because it's built for "anyone," it gives everyone the same thing: a read-only calendar of dates. No mood, no energy, nothing about what she might need from you specifically — because it was never asked that question. Know Her was: what does the man actually need to know? The language, the phases, the widget, the daily tip — all built around that one relationship, not a generic "someone she shares with."


What each app actually requires

Before you see a single thing, this has to happen first.

Clue Connect

  • She needs Clue Plus — $39.99/year. Connect doesn't work off her free account.
  • She has to generate an invite code — from inside her app, and send it to you.
  • You need the Clue app too — free, but it's still another account, another app.
  • Both of you need internet — her data syncs to your view through Clue's servers.
  • Only one connection at a time — and it doesn't work in Clue's Pregnancy mode.

One connection at a time, dates only, gone the moment she stops paying. That's not support — that's a peephole.

Know Her

  • The date her last period started. That's it. You set it up, you own it, you control it.

No account from her. No Clue Plus, no invite code. Know Her is fully yours, from day one — 100% offline, locked behind Face ID if you want.

Design intent matters

What the app was built to solve changes everything about how it works.

Know Her

  • ✓ Phase names and descriptions written for men
  • ✓ Dashboard: energy, mood, tips in plain language
  • ✓ Practical daily guide — what she might need from you
  • ✓ Calendar built for at-a-glance reading, not medical logging
  • ✓ Widget: one-tap phase check from the home screen
  • ✓ Notifications timed so you're prepared, not caught off guard

Clue Connect

  • ✓ Fast to set up — about 3 minutes with an invite code
  • ✗ A read-only window into her Clue calendar
  • ✗ Shows dates only — no mood, energy, or guidance
  • ✗ No widget, no notifications for the viewing partner
  • ✗ Your access depends entirely on her subscription
  • ✗ Designed for sharing between any two people, not specifically partners
  • ✗ No private notes, no personal layer for you

Privacy: local vs cloud

Where your data lives is a design decision, not a technicality.

Know Her stores everything on your device. Period history, notes, settings — none of it is uploaded anywhere. There is no server holding her cycle data. You can lock the app behind Face ID, and the data stays entirely yours.

Clue Connect syncs through Clue's cloud infrastructure. Her cycle data — even the limited slice she shares — passes through Clue's servers to reach your phone. Your view of her data is mediated by her subscription, her privacy settings, and her continued willingness to share. That's a different kind of relationship with sensitive health information than data that never leaves your device.


Price comparison

What it actually costs as a couple.

Know Her Free to download — full access for 14 days

Then $19.99/year (or $2.99/month). One app, one subscription — yours. No other accounts or plans required. Cancel anytime.

Clue Connect $39.99 her Clue Plus, per year

The Clue app itself is free for you, but the sharing feature only works if she maintains Clue Plus. Know Her requires no subscription from her at all.

At least $20 less per year — and it's your own subscription, not hers.


Common questions

About choosing between Know Her and Clue Connect.

Yes. To share her cycle with you through Clue Connect, she needs an active Clue Plus subscription ($39.99/year) and has to generate an invite code from inside her app for you to enter. You use the free version of Clue. If her Plus subscription lapses, sharing stops. Know Her has no such dependency — you set it up yourself with just the date of her last period.
Only her basic cycle phases — period days, fertile days, ovulation, and PMS — in a simple calendar view. It does not show mood, energy, or any of the symptoms she may be tracking in her own app. Know Her's dashboard is built specifically to translate her cycle into what a partner needs: mood, energy, and daily guidance.
Yes. Know Her stores everything on your device — no account, no cloud, no sync. All data stays on your phone. Clue Connect requires both of you to have the Clue app and an internet connection for her data to sync to your view.
Know Her is free to download, with a 14-day trial that includes full access, then $19.99/year (or $2.99/month) — no other subscriptions required. Clue Connect itself is free for you, but she needs Clue Plus at $39.99/year for the sharing feature to work at all. As a couple, that's a real cost even though it isn't your app you're paying for.
No. Know Her works entirely from information you enter yourself — no account for her, nothing to install, nothing to share. You just need the date her last period started. She doesn't even need to know you're using it.
Yes. Everything stays on your phone — no account, no cloud, no sync, nothing to leak. You can lock the app with Face ID or biometrics for extra privacy on top of that.
You get 14 days of full access, completely free. After that, Know Her runs on a simple subscription — monthly or annual. Cancel anytime directly in your App Store settings.
No. Know Her is designed to help you understand and plan around her cycle — it's not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or method of contraception. For health decisions, always consult a healthcare professional.
