How to Switch from Life to Floriva

Step-by-step guide to export your data from Life and start tracking privately with Floriva.

Life by Locker Room Labs is a cloud-based period tracker. This guide covers how to save your cycle data and move to a tracker where core cycle records stay on your device.

Before you switch

Life is a period and fertility tracker by Locker Room Labs. It offers cycle predictions, symptom logging, and health insights through a cloud-based platform. Your data is stored on their servers, tied to your account.

Cloud-based period trackers share a common risk. Server-stored reproductive health data can be breached, subpoenaed, or shared under whatever privacy policy is current when a request arrives. Life is no different. The question is whether you want your cycle data on someone else's infrastructure.

Export your data from Life

Open Life and check the settings menu for a data export, backup, or account data download option. The specific menu path varies by version.

If you find an export function, use it and save the file to your device. If no export is available, open the calendar and manually record:

Your last 6 cycle start dates
Average cycle length
Any symptom or mood categories you have been tracking

You can also submit a formal data access request to Locker Room Labs under CCPA, GDPR, or your applicable data protection law. This compels them to provide a copy of your personal data, though the timeline depends on the regulation.

Set up Floriva

Download Floriva. No account creation, no email, no server registration. Data stays on your phone.

Enter your cycle dates during onboarding. Floriva uses these to calibrate predictions immediately rather than requiring 2-3 fresh cycles to establish a pattern.

If you were using Life's symptom tracking features, configure Floriva's symptom categories during setup to match what you were logging. This keeps your tracking routine consistent.

Rebuild your cycle history

Our guide to rebuilding period history after switching apps walks through the full process of transferring historical data. Cycle start dates are the highest priority. Symptom data is useful for personal reference but does not affect prediction accuracy.

If you have been tracking for a year or more, bringing over 6-12 cycle start dates gives Floriva enough history to produce reliable predictions from the first day.

Delete your Life account

Check Life's settings for a Delete Account or similar option. Use it if available. Uninstalling the app removes it from your device but leaves your data on Locker Room Labs' servers.

If no in-app deletion exists, contact Locker Room Labs directly to request account deletion and data erasure. Keep a record of your request.

After deletion, attempt to log in after a few days to verify. A successful deletion should return an error. See our data deletion guide for the full verification process.

Data export: A copy of your cycle dates, symptom logs, and tracking data from Life's servers.
On-device storage: A storage model where your data stays on your phone and never reaches a company server. No server means less company-held data to breach, sell, or subpoena.

Quick answers to the obvious questions.

Questions people ask before they switch.

Will I lose my cycle history when I switch?

Not if you record your dates before switching. Enter your last 3-6 cycle start dates into Floriva during onboarding for immediate prediction accuracy.

Is Life safe to keep using?

Life is cloud-based. Your cycle data lives on Locker Room Labs' servers, subject to their privacy policy and reachable by legal process. The privacy implications depend on your threat model and jurisdiction.
