Connecting Clue

Clue is a popular period tracker. If you already use it, MigraineMe can read your cycle information so you do not have to log everything twice. The way this works depends on whether you have an iPhone or an Android phone.

Last known update

On Android, Clue does not currently share cycle data with other apps through Health Connect, even if Health Connect is installed on your phone. This is a decision by the people who make Clue, not something we can change. Android users, please scroll down to the Android section below.

On iPhone, it works smoothly.

On iPhone

Clue saves your period information into Apple Health. MigraineMe reads from Apple Health. So once you give MigraineMe permission, your Clue data flows through automatically.

1. Open MigraineMe.
2. Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen.
3. Tap Connections.
4. Find Apple Health and tap Connect. If it already says Connected, skip to step 6.
5. A window from your iPhone will appear. Tap Turn On All (or make sure Menstruation is on), then Allow.
6. Open the drawer again, tap Data and Notifications, and check the Menstruation switch is on. Connecting Apple Health turns it on for you.

MigraineMe copies up to a year of period days from Apple Health.

You are done. Your Clue cycle history will now appear inside MigraineMe.

If no popup appeared

Your iPhone may have remembered an old answer. To open the permission manually:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone (the grey gear on your home screen).
2. Tap Apps, then Health.
3. Tap Data Access & Devices.
4. Find MigraineMe in the list and tap it.
5. Turn Menstruation on.
6. Reopen MigraineMe.

If you connected but still see no data

Open the Clue app. Look in Clue's own settings for an Apple Health option and make sure it is switched on. Then go back to MigraineMe.

On Android

As noted at the top, Clue on Android does not currently share its data with Health Connect. So turning the switch on in MigraineMe will not pull anything in.

If Clue adds Health Connect support in the future, here is what the steps will look like:

1. Open MigraineMe.
2. Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen, then Connections.
3. Find Health Connect and tap Connect.
4. A Health Connect window will appear. Make sure Menstruation is on, then tap Allow.
5. Open the drawer again, tap Data and Notifications, and turn on the Menstruation switch.

For now, we recommend logging your period directly inside MigraineMe on Android. It is just one tap per period.

Logging directly in MigraineMe (recommended on Android)

1. Open MigraineMe.
2. Tap the Monitor tab at the bottom.
3. Scroll until you see the Menstruation card.
4. Tap the card.
5. Under Log a Period, tap Select date.
6. Pick the day your period started.
7. Tap Add.

You only need to log the start day. MigraineMe will use it to predict your next cycle.

If you forget a day, you can come back and pick any past date in the same box to log it.

Privacy

MigraineMe never connects to Clue directly. On iPhone it reads only what Clue has shared with Apple Health, and only after you say yes. You can turn the connection off any time in Data and Notifications → Menstruation in the drawer. On iPhone, periods you log in MigraineMe are also saved to Apple Health.
