Connecting Glow, Eve, Ovia or Stardust

These four apps all track your cycle in their own way. If you already use one of them, MigraineMe can read your period data so you do not have to enter it twice. The exact path depends on whether you have an iPhone or an Android phone.

Last known update

On Android, none of these apps (Glow, Eve, Ovia or Stardust) currently share cycle data with other apps through Health Connect, even when Health Connect is installed. This is a choice by the app makers and is outside our control. Android users, please skip ahead to the Android section.

On iPhone, the link works well because these apps save to Apple Health.

On iPhone

Glow, Eve, Ovia and Stardust all save your period information into Apple Health. MigraineMe reads from Apple Health. So you only need to give permission once.

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.

Your cycle history from Glow, Eve, Ovia or Stardust will now appear inside MigraineMe.

If the popup did not appear

Your iPhone may have remembered an old answer. To turn the permission on by hand:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone (the grey gear).
2. Tap Apps, then Health.
3. Tap Data Access & Devices.
4. Find MigraineMe in the list and tap it.
5. Make sure Menstruation is turned on.
6. Open MigraineMe again.

If you still see no data

Open the period app you use (Glow, Eve, Ovia or Stardust) and check its own settings. Each one has a switch for sharing with Apple Health. Make sure that switch is on, then come back to MigraineMe.

On Android

As noted at the top, none of these four apps share their data with Health Connect on Android right now. Turning the switch on inside MigraineMe will not pull anything in.

If one of them adds Health Connect support later, here is how you would connect:

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, the practical Android approach is to log your period directly in MigraineMe.

Logging directly in MigraineMe (recommended on Android)

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

Just log the first day of each period. MigraineMe will use it to predict the next one and warn you on high-risk days.

If you forget, you can pick any past date in the same box to log it later. Nothing is locked.

Privacy

MigraineMe does not connect to Glow, Eve, Ovia or Stardust directly. On iPhone it only reads what they have chosen to share with Apple Health, and only after you say yes. You can turn the link off any time in Data and Notifications → Menstruation in the drawer. On iPhone, periods you log in MigraineMe are also saved to Apple Health.
