Feature · Import
Switch trackers and keep your history
A new app is easier to start with when the old history comes along. Ovulyx can import cycle data from other apps, so your predictions begin with real information instead of an empty calendar.
In short
- Import from Flo (period dates), MyNFP (cycles and diary) and Apple Health.
- You see a preview with the number of cycles found before anything is added.
- Existing entries are kept, gaps are filled.
- Export your data from Ovulyx any time.
What you can import
- Flo: the JSON file from your Flo data export. Only period dates are imported
- MyNFP: the ZIP file from your MyNFP export, with cycles and diary entries
- Apple Health: an export file (export.xml) that includes cycle data
How it works
During setup, or later in the profile under account, you choose the file. Ovulyx reads it, shows a preview of how many cycles or periods it found and the date range, and only then adds them to your history.
What is kept and what is skipped
Entries that you have already logged on a day are kept, and gaps are filled in. Some fields from other apps have no counterpart in Ovulyx, such as medication or per-entry contraception method, and are not imported. Ovulyx tells you how many values were skipped.
Step by step
- Request the export from your old app and save the file
- Open Ovulyx, and in setup (or later in your profile under account) choose “Import data”
- Pick the file and check the preview
- Confirm, and your history appears in the calendar and Insights
Tips for a clean import
Import before you start logging, or at least check the preview: it tells you how many cycles or periods were found and from when to when. If a file contains no cycle data, Ovulyx says so instead of importing nothing silently. Afterwards, glance at the calendar: if a period date looks wrong, you can correct it like any other entry.
Why bother?
Predictions improve with more cycles. Starting with your real history means the first forecasts already reflect your own pattern, and your partner gets useful information from day one.
Leaving later
You can export your data from Ovulyx and delete your account at any time. Your data is yours, whichever app you use.
Before you switch
Request your data export from the other app first – some providers need a few days to send it.
Frequently asked questions
