KindaraKindara lets you input your data (basal body temperature, cervical fluid, menstruation cycle, and even when you had sex), so it can create a chart for you that will show you when you're most fertile. You can sync the data with Apple's Health app and share your chart with your doctor. Users can also connect with other women in the community for extra support. The company also makes Wink, a wireless thermometer that tracks your basal body temperature and automatically syncs with the app.

ClueThe period tracker app Clue not only gives you more information about your menstrual cycle, but it can also provide insight into what's going on in your body. You can track when you get cramps, when your skin is out of whack, how much sleep you're getting, and even your mood.

Natural CyclesNatural Cycles was approved by the FDA in 2018 as a method of contraception. To track your fertility, you use the brand's thermometer to take your basal body temperature, you then enter it into the app, and it will tell you if it's a red day (you're fertile) or a green day (you're not fertile). When used perfectly, it's 98% effective.
