Ladies, the much-awaited collaboration has finally seen the light of day. Oura Ring can now be integrated with the Clue app on iOS devices (unfortunately, not on Android). This is a great initiative by Oura to help women dive deeper into understanding their reproductive health.
Clue app is one of the most sought-after, authentic, and award-winning period tracking apps. It provides holistic details about Women’s Menstrual life. From predicting the next period to detecting premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and ovulation, the Clue app offers it all.
In this article, I list the steps to connect your Oura Ring to the Clue App on an iPhone and explain what goes behind the integration of the Oura app and the Clue app.
Steps to Connect Oura Ring to the Clue App
To integrate Oura Ring with the Clue App, we must have four things –
- Oura Ring
- An active membership to the Oura app
- An account set up on the Clue app
- An active subscription to ‘Clue Plus.’
The following steps must be adhered to to integrate the two.
- Open the Clue app on your phone.
- Click on “═” in the top-right corner.
- Click on ‘Settings.’
- Click on ‘Oura Ring.’
- Click on “Get Clue Plus” to get an active subscription to Clue Plus (in case you don’t already have one).
- Tap on ‘Pair Oura Ring.’
- Next, sign in to your Oura account and grant the required permissions to share your Oura data with the Clue app.
- Voila! Your ring is now paired with the Clue App.
Clue and Oura Integration
The Clue app’s integration with Oura allows one to effortlessly share and sync the temperature trends recorded by the Oura app with the Clue app.
In the background, Oura shares its recorded temperature data with the Clue app to provide users with a more comprehensive understanding of their reproductive health.
Why temperature?
Behind the scenes, firstly, the Oura ring, with the help of its advanced sensors, tracks and records your body temperatures. This temperature is also know as the Basal Body temperature (BBT) which is crucial to indicate ovulation and fertility.
Temperature fluctuations also help predict hormonal changes, which helps Clue predict ovulation and menstruation cycles accurately.
How is it done?
The Oura ring first tracks your body temperature with the help of its Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensors. Then, it syncs your temperature with your Oura app. When you integrate your Oura app with the Clue app by granting necessary permissions, the following happens-
- Oura App shares the data with the Clue app with the help of secure API services in the backend.
- After this, one will be able to see their temperature trends on their Clue app’s analysis tab with the help of charts.
I feel it’s amazing how this partnership promises to provide women with more in-depth knowledge and insights about their reproductive health. Also, it is very cool how both Oura and Clue can deliver so much information by studying someone’s body temperature trends.
Note: If you face any problems while connecting the two apps or have any questions on Clue and Oura integration, you can contact Clue support for help.

Wrap Up
Oura ring pairing with the Clue App is a progressive step taken considering women’s health. It’s a great advancement in the Femtech industry, which would help women be more aware of their bodies and what’s going on inside. Also, it’s great that Oura is paying extra attention to women’s health and well-being.
I personally feel that Oura’s initiative to pair with an app like the Clue app is highly praiseworthy. For a ring priced at around $300, the more features we get as customers, the better value for money we receive.
I am really excited to see what other apps Oura plans to pair up with in the future. It is also in the news that the Clue app will also be adding more biometric integrations, such as sleep and stress, in the future. However, it is not going to manifest until 2024.
