How to Switch from MagicGirl to Floriva

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

MagicGirl is a teen-focused period tracker. This guide covers how to save your cycle data and move to a tracker that stores everything on your device with no readable central copy.

Before you switch

MagicGirl markets itself to teens and young people getting their first periods. The app uses a playful interface with themes and stickers to make period tracking feel approachable for younger users. That design choice is fine. The data architecture behind it is the concern.

MagicGirl is ad-supported, which means advertising SDKs are embedded in the app. Those SDKs collect device data and usage patterns from users who are, by the app's own marketing, predominantly minors. Whether cycle data is shared with ad partners depends on how the SDKs are configured, but the structural reality applies: data flows to the parties paying for it.

Teen users tracking their periods for the first time are building a reproductive health record. Whether that record lives on a server controlled by an ad-supported company or on a device the user controls is a decision worth making deliberately.

Export your data from MagicGirl

MagicGirl does not have a well-documented data export feature. Your best option is manual.

Open the app's calendar view and record:

  • Your last 3-6 cycle start dates

  • Average cycle length if the app displays it

  • Any symptoms or notes you want to keep

If you or a parent want to request a formal data copy, check the app's privacy policy for a contact email and submit a data access request. For users under 18, a parent or guardian may need to submit this request depending on jurisdiction.

This manual process takes about 5 minutes. For teens who have only been tracking for a few months, there may only be 3-4 cycle dates to record.

Set up Floriva

Download Floriva. No account required, no email, no age verification that sends data to a server. Everything stays on the phone.

Enter cycle start dates during onboarding. For teen users with limited cycle history, Floriva's predictions will refine over the first few tracked cycles. Irregular cycles are normal in the first years of menstruation, and the algorithm accounts for that.

Floriva's teen-specific features include guidance on what is typical for early cycles and how to interpret variations without anxiety.

Rebuild your cycle history

Our guide to rebuilding period history after switching apps covers the process. For teen users with shorter tracking histories, there may only be a few months of data to transfer. That is fine, even 3 cycle dates give the prediction algorithm something to work with.

If cycles are still irregular (common in the first 2-3 years after menarche), predictions will be less precise regardless of how much history you transfer. The algorithm improves as it accumulates data from each new cycle.

Delete your MagicGirl data

Check MagicGirl's settings for a Delete Account, Clear Data, or privacy management option. If available, use it.

For users under 18, parents or guardians may need to submit deletion requests. Contact the app's developer through the app store listing or their privacy policy contact email. Reference COPPA (if in the US) or your applicable children's data protection regulation.

After taking whatever deletion steps are available, uninstall the app. This removes the advertising SDKs and stops ongoing data collection.

See our data deletion guide for the full deletion verification process.

Quick answers to the obvious questions.

How do I switch from MagicGirl to Floriva?

Record your cycle dates from MagicGirl's calendar, set up Floriva with that history, then delete your MagicGirl data or account.

Can I export my data from MagicGirl?

MagicGirl does not have a well-documented export feature. Manually record your cycle start dates from the app's calendar before switching.

Questions people ask before they switch.

Will I lose my cycle history when I switch?

Not if you write down your cycle dates first. Enter your last 3-6 cycle start dates into Floriva during setup.

Is MagicGirl safe for teens to use?

MagicGirl is ad-supported and marketed to minors, which raises specific concerns about data collection from users under 18. Teen users' reproductive health data deserves the same privacy protections as adult data, arguably more, given the vulnerability of the user base.
