Question 1

Is there a period tracker you can share with your partner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PinkyBloom is a period tracker you can share with one partner. You track on your phone; he installs PinkyBond on his. What he receives is a snapshot you choose — your phase at Basic, plus your mood and energy at Mood, plus a status and, in perimenopause or menopause, your top symptoms at Full. Both apps are free on iPhone and Android.

Question 2

Can I share my period app with my partner and still keep my notes private?

Accepted Answer

That is the design here. Sharing sends a derived snapshot, not your data. He sees which phase you are in, how your energy is and, if you allow it, a mood word and a short forecast of the week. He cannot open your calendar, read a note, see a symptom you logged or scroll back through your history. If you turn sharing off, he is not told.

Question 3

Is the partner sharing free, or is there a catch?

Accepted Answer

PinkyBloom and PinkyBond are free on iPhone and Android, including sharing, the thread between you and encrypted voice and video calls. Some other trackers gate partner sharing behind a paid tier — Clue Connect needs Clue Plus on the sharer's side, for example. Here the sharing is part of the app.

Question 4

When I share my period tracker with my partner, what does he actually see?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the level you set. Basic: your phase. His app fills the rest of the card with a mood and energy predicted from that phase, and says so on screen. Mood: also the mood and energy you actually logged today. Full: also a custom status and, in perimenopause or menopause, your top symptoms. At Mood or Full he can also get the week between you — a 7-day forecast of easier and harder days with one thing to do, never a reason. You can change the level at any time and he is never notified.

Question 5

Is PinkyBloom a period app for couples?

Accepted Answer

It is a period tracker for you with a side for him. Couples apps like Paired or Flamme give you prompts and quizzes but know nothing about your body. Period trackers with a partner mode give him a read-only card. PinkyBloom and PinkyBond give the two of you a private thread and calls that know what week it is, built on your cycle — and later on your pregnancy, postpartum recovery, perimenopause or menopause.

Question 6

What makes a good period tracker for couples?

Accepted Answer

Four things. It should share the shape, not the data: phase and a forecast, never logs. It should be reversible in one tap, without notifying him. It should go both ways — in PinkyBond he checks in too, and his check-in shows on your side. And it should be encrypted between the two phones so no company holds a readable copy. PinkyBloom is built to all four, and adds a Safety Mode for when a relationship turns.

Question 7

Do we both need the same app, and does it work on Android and iPhone?

Accepted Answer

No. Each of you has the app built for your side: PinkyBloom tracks and decides what leaves; PinkyBond receives, checks in and talks back. They speak one encrypted protocol, so pairing an iPhone with an Android phone works exactly like pairing two iPhones.

Question 8

How do period apps for couples usually work, and how is this different?

Accepted Answer

Flo for Partners, Clue Connect and Stardust all work the same way: your data goes to the company's server and your partner's app shows him a calendar or a card, read-only. Nothing passes between the two of you inside the app. PinkyBloom and PinkyBond replace the card with a channel: the thread and the calls between your two phones are end-to-end encrypted, our relay forwards ciphertext it cannot open, and the thread knows which week you are in.

Question 9

Does it work as a fertility or ovulation app for couples?

Accepted Answer

Partly. PinkyBloom estimates your ovulation phase and fertile window from your cycle history, and he sees your phase at every share level, so a couple trying to conceive both know when the window is open without you having to announce it. It is not a contraceptive and not a medical device, and it will not tell you which days are safe. It does not log temperature or confirm ovulation.

Question 10

What does he see during the fertile window?

Accepted Answer

The same as in any other phase: the phase name, plus mood and energy if you share them. He does not see a fertile-day calendar, a test result or anything you logged. If you would rather he did not see the phase at all for a while, pause sharing — he is not notified — or switch on Safety Mode, which replaces what you share with neutral placeholder data. He is not told it is on.

Question 11

Can the Clue app share with a partner?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through Clue Connect: the person tracking needs a Clue Plus subscription, and the partner installs Clue and gets a read-only view of the cycle. If you are moving from Clue, PinkyBloom imports your history and pairs with PinkyBond for free — see our Clue migration page.

Question 12

How is Clue Connect different from PinkyBloom and PinkyBond?

Accepted Answer

Three things. Price: Clue Connect requires Clue Plus; here sharing is free. Where the data goes: Clue's sharing runs through Clue's servers; PinkyBloom sends an encrypted snapshot only the two phones can open, and we never hold the key. What he gets: Clue Connect shows him your cycle; PinkyBond gives him the week ahead, a check-in of his own, and a thread and calls with you.

Question 13

Is there a period tracker for husbands?

Accepted Answer

PinkyBond is the app for him. It is free, has nothing to set up beyond pairing with your PinkyBloom, and shows him what you allow: the phase, the week ahead, one thing to do today. He can check in with his own mood and energy, message you and call you, encrypted end to end. It never lets him log anything about you or see your entries.

Question 14

Is PinkyBond a "wife period tracker" for him?

Accepted Answer

Not quite, and the difference matters. PinkyBond is not a tracker he runs about you. You track, on your phone, and you decide what leaves it. He receives a snapshot at the level you set, can pause nothing and change nothing on your side, and sees only what your settings allow. If what he wants is to know the week before it happens so he can plan around it, that is exactly what it does.

Question 15

Is there an app to track my daughter's period?

Accepted Answer

Not this one. PinkyBloom pairs with one romantic partner, through PinkyBond, and PinkyBond is built for him. It is not built for parents, and we would not build a tracker for tracking someone else's body — the whole design here is that the person whose cycle it is holds the dial.

Share your cycle with one person. Decide exactly how far.

A snapshot goes to him. Your logs don't.

What he never sees

How it travels

Basic, Mood or Full. You choose. He is never notified.

The sharing follows you. So does he.
