Clue Data Export Review Worksheet
A worksheet for reviewing a Clue data export, saving the parts you need, and cleaning sensitive notes before you switch period apps.
A Clue export is not the same thing as a clean move.
It may hold old notes, settings, and health details you no longer want in a new app. Review it first. Then make a smaller record you can use.
Use Clue's current help page for export steps. Do not follow old screenshots from a blog. App screens change.
1. Save the raw export
Before you edit anything, save the first file.
Item Your notes Date requested Email used File saved where Password saved where Backup copy made
Keep the raw file in a place you control. Do not upload it to a new app unless you mean to share all of it.
2. Check what is inside
Open the file with a text editor or a JSON viewer. If it looks messy, search for words.
Search for:
period cycle bleeding flow pain symptom sex pregnancy ovulation medicine note
Mark what you find.
Data type Found Keep Clean Delete from working copy Period start dates Period end dates Flow levels Pain notes Mood notes Sex or intimacy notes Pregnancy notes Fertility notes Medicine notes Free text notes
3. Make a short cycle summary
Most people do not need every old entry in a new app. Start with the dates that help the new app learn your pattern.
Cycle Start date End date Cycle length Heavy days Notes to keep : 1 2 3 4 5 6
If your cycles are irregular, keep more start dates. If you track for care, ask your clinician what history matters.
4. Clean sensitive notes
Copy only the parts you still need into a new working document. Leave the raw export unchanged.
Remove details that do not help you now:
Names of partners. Names of doctors, clinics, schools, or workplaces. Exact locations. Conflict or safety notes. Sex details you no longer need. Pregnancy details you do not want in a new app. Legal concern notes. Photos or file names, if any appear in the export.
Replace long notes with plain facts.
Original note Clean working note
Example:
Original note Clean working note "Bad fight after clinic visit near work." "Stress high. Pain 6."
5. Decide what moves
Use this rule: move what you will use.
Keep in new tracker Keep in private archive Remove from working copy Last 6 to 12 period start dates Full raw export Old conflict notes Current symptoms Doctor visit history Names and places Current medicines Fertility records you still need Old sex notes Heavy bleeding pattern Pregnancy records you still need Notes you cannot explain later
Do not delete the raw file until you know you do not need it. If you plan to delete your Clue account, check your export first.
6. Prep for the next app
Before you add data to a new app, check:
Does it need an account? Does it store data in the cloud? Can you export later? Can you delete your account later? Does it import from other apps? What does it do with notes?
If the new app cannot import the file, enter your short summary by hand. That is slower, but it lets you leave old sensitive notes behind.
Floriva may fit if you want a lower data tracker. Still check what it stores, where it stores it, and how you can leave.
