Know Her vs
Stardust

Stardust wants to talk about the moon. You just want to know how she's doing today.

★  Practical, not astrological
Know Her period tracker app — home screen widget showing her cycle phase

Stardust blends her actual cycle data with moon phases and astrology. If you want signal, not horoscope, that's a real problem.

Stardust tracks her period alongside moon phases and astrology content, and lets her invite people into her "orbit" — friends, family, or a partner, all treated the same way. To its credit, joining her orbit costs you nothing, and if she's into astrology, it's a genuinely well-built app for that combination. But it's built for sharing her experience with whoever she chooses, not for helping a man figure out what she needs from him. Know Her asked a different question from day one: what does the man actually need to know? The language, the phases, the widget, the daily tip — all built for that, with zero horoscope content getting in the way of an actual answer.


What each app actually requires

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

Stardust

  • She needs to be an active Stardust user — logging her own cycle for the app to have anything to show.
  • She has to invite you — into her "orbit," manually, from inside her account.
  • You need the Stardust app too — your own install, your own account.
  • Both of you need internet — the orbit feature syncs through the cloud.
  • Full tracking accuracy sits behind her Premium plan — $2.99/week, $3.99/month, or $24.99/year.

You're a guest in her orbit, watching alongside her friends and family — not someone the app was built to actually help.

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 invite, no orbit. 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

Stardust

  • ✓ Free for you to join her orbit
  • ✗ Built around her own tracking + astrology content
  • ✗ Partner invite is a social feature, not a dashboard for you
  • ✗ No widget, no notifications for the invited partner
  • ✗ Your access depends on her continued use and invite
  • ✗ Mixes moon phases and astrology into cycle data
  • ✗ 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.

Stardust runs through its own cloud infrastructure, and the orbit/partner feature syncs her data to whoever she invites. Your access to her cycle information is mediated by her account, her sharing choices, and an internet connection on both sides — 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.

Stardust $24.99+ her Premium, per year (or $3.99/mo, $2.99/wk)

Being invited to her orbit is free, but her own accurate tracking sits behind Stardust Premium. Know Her requires no subscription from her at all.

A subscription that's entirely your own — nothing riding on what she pays for.


Common questions

About choosing between Know Her and Stardust.

Yes. Stardust's partner feature (part of its gamified "orbit") only works if she is an active Stardust user who chooses to add you. There's no way for you to set it up on your own — you're dependent on her using the app and inviting you in. Know Her requires none of that: you set it up yourself with just the date of her last period.
No. Stardust is a period and cycle tracker for women that layers in astrology and moon-phase content. The partner invite is an add-on to a product designed around her own tracking experience, not a tool built to help a man understand what to expect or how to support her. Know Her was built from day one for the male partner.
Yes. Know Her stores everything on your device — no account, no cloud, no sync. All data stays on your phone. Stardust requires her to have an active account and you to be invited into her orbit, which means an internet connection and ongoing use on both sides.
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 and nothing to pay on her end. Stardust's own premium plans run $24.99/year, $3.99/month, or $2.99/week if she wants full access to her tracking features. Either way, Know Her doesn't ask her to pay for anything.
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.
