Euki vs Drip: Two Free Privacy-First Period Trackers
Both Euki and Drip use on-device storage with no accounts. Drip is Android-only and open source. Euki is nonprofit and cross-platform.
Two Free Apps That Took Privacy Seriously Euki and Drip arrived at on device privacy from different directions. Euki was built by Ibis Reproductive Health, a nonprofit focused on reproductive health access. The app's design choices, no account, no server, no analytics, reflect the organization's specific concern for users in contexts where reproductive health data could be used against them in prosecutions. Drip was built as an open source project. The design choice that matters most is transparency: the source code is publicly available on GitHub, which means the privacy claims can be verified by anyone with the technical ability to read code. Most period apps ask you to trust their privacy policy. Drip shows you the code. The Open Source Advantage Open source is the strongest form of privacy transparency available. When Drip claims it does not transmit any data to external servers, that claim can be verified in the codebase. When Flo claimed it did not share data with Facebook and Google, that was a policy promise that turned out to be contradicted by the behavior of embedded SDKs, the conduct that led to the $59.5M settlement. The limitation of Drip's open source approach is pla
