Real competitor to all mainstream apps (it’s even better!!)
Like everyone else who starts with NFP/symptothermal method to understand one’s body, its symptoms and fertility better, I was about to be like any regular person and type in “NFP Period Tracking” into my AppStore / Google Tab Bar and download the first (most advertised) well known App with reasonable ratings. I mean it makes total sense, thousands of women trust these apps, they’re designed very neatly since there’s probably been a ton of money been invested in already, so they must be the best right ?!
I’m not here to judge and compare any of the other apps since I’m simply not in the position to do so, I can only tell you about my experience:
Drip is awesome and has the potential to be even greater in the future. It is a very SIMPLE app, simple in design, simple to use, simple to understand. They don’t use fancy colours and animations however I think this is the only reasonable approach to a cycle tracking app. If you think about it: an app that helps you understand your body, a very natural and “down to earth thing” shouldn’t feel like a video game after all, should it?
Lastly, There’s NO ADVERTISEMENT at all, neither any add-on subscriptions. This makes me actually feel valued through the app as I find the idea of monetizing HEALTH related apps sickening. In 2026 nobody should ever have to pay for understanding their bodies better.
So what are my hopes for the future:
I’m convinced and enthusiastic that this app will eventually get even more attention by the mainstream and that through this attention, the very few great people behind drip receive more recognition and funding so they can develop many more features (according to their very rational philosophy) that would make the app even cooler.
Thank you very much for taking your time to read my review, if you’ve stayed until this line I’ll guess than drip will be 99% sure the right app for you <3

Great app- one suggestion
Simple, clear and not selling my data. Really happy. One additional aspect I would like to track is hunger and energy levels. This will help me understand how my body works during my cycle and allow me to prepare for different stages in the gym/with calorie counting etc. if I can see that I’m likely going to eat more days x and y of my period, I can compensate on days a and b- same with energy levels.

Beste App 🙂
Danke euch für die tolle App. Am besten gefällt mir eure Datenschutzstrategie und Umsetzung.
No Ads!
I’m so grateful to the developers of this app for creating a free period tracker that isn’t a minefield of ads and pop ups and extra bloat like others I’ve had before. I hate the subscription model world we live it and it’s nice just to have somewhere I can track where I’m at in my cycle without having to pay for it on a monthly or yearly subscription plan.
Makes me actually want to financially support!

Absolutely love it. Easy and minimalistic design, no adds. I’ve searching for such a brilliant app for a long time. Thank you💕
Beste Periodenapp!
Datenschutz perfekt. Fokus auf Funktionalität. 100% Zuverlässig.
🙏 Dankeschön 🙏

Great app for cycle tracking
I have used the app for some years now, and i really enjoy it! It's design is calm and not overstimulating, without unnecessary features. I support your values to develop drip secure, open-source and feminist. Thanks so much!
I have some ideas for features that would help me a lot, but I will contact you (also to maybe contribute).

Best period tracker ever
I have tried Clue and Flo and drip is my favorite by far. I love the minimalist interface and how you can easily track fertility signs alongside your period. I especially like how you can see those fertility signs in a chart format. I also love how it’s open source and you don’t have to create an account so you are truly anonymous and your data is more protected. My one very tiny suggestion of the thing I would change is, I would love to be able to log my period into the future, as once I get my period I prefer to log the whole thing in advance so as not to have to log into the app multiple times (and Flo had this feature). However, that is a very small thing and overall it’s an awesome app. I think everyone should use it.

Ist supi aber wär toll wenn’s die App auch auf Deutsch geben würde
Thank you
Grateful to the developers for creating a free app without predatory tracking and ads! Works great and does precisely what I need it to do.
Only recommendation would be to allow data input for future days. Most women know how many days our periods are going to be so would be great if there was a way to input all days on the first day. That way theres no need to revisit.
Regardless love this app and grateful to the developers!

Super aber ein Verbesserungsvorschlag
Ich finde die App super, und benutze sie nur dafür meine Periode zu tracken. Eine Sache, die ich mir wünsche, wäre die Vorhersage der Periode noch weiter in der Zukunft zeigen. 3 Monate sind etwas kurz und manchmal möchte ich zu einem bestimmten Datum sehen wollen, ob ich da meine Periode kriegen könnte, z.B. wenn man Urlaub plant. Es sollte daher die Option geben, die Vorhersage zu erweitern. Sonst muss ich die Tage manuell im Kalender zählen, weil nach 3 Monaten Schluss ist.

Not useful for tracking fertility unless you use Celsius
I would love this app for its privacy, not having to sign up, and minimalism; but i want to do more then track my period - i want to replace paper fertility awareness method tracking. Using Celsius only to track basal body temp just doesn’t work because I’m in the US and therefore so is my thermometer and brain, and any meaningful association with temperature values needs to be in Fahrenheit.

Eine Sache fehlt
Tolle App ohne Werbung, Vielen Dank dafür.
Was mir nur fehlt ist eine übersichtlichere Anzeige der Eintragungen. In der monatlichen Übersicht sieht man nur die Blutung, nicht Schmerzen, Stimmung, andere Notizen. Das würde mir sehr helfen, um zu sehen, ob bestimmte Sachen zu bestimmten Punkten im Zyklus vorkommen.

Good, but...
I wish I could set the time when notifications appear. The most recent reminder popped up at 6 am and I missed it. It would be more helpful if it popped up later in the day, where I would be more likely to see it. Or, if the app icon could have one of those red unread message dots when my period is coming up.

Datenschutz und Design TOP
Ich kann die App nur weiterempfehlen! Vor allem, dass einem 2 Monate im Voraus angezeigt wird, wann man vermutlich menstruiert, erleichtert mein Leben ungemein 🫶🏻🤩
So easy to use
I have tried a number of apps and this one is most user friendly. There are no ads popping up all the time, pressure to upgrade to “premium”.
Tracking on it is so easy k highly recommend,

Excellent app
Your data your choice is right, and this app is an excellent tool for tracking my own cycle and symptoms. I’m very grateful being able to do this without being tracked. The app is easy to use, consistent, and ethical. Thank you, drip.
Simple and secure period tracker
Drip works completely offline, and you can optionally lock the app for added privacy. The interface is clean, simple, and not overly feminine like other period tracking apps. Tracking options can be fully customised to suit your needs and allows easy export, import, and deletion of data. It's free, open-source, offline, and ad-free. What more could you possibly ask for? Highly recommended to anyone who wants a straightforward, secure tracking experience.

So good
This app is so much better than Flo because you can change the settings to be whatever you what and it doesn't ask any weird questions if you don't want it to
