Natural Cycles Integration

Stream Natural Cycles data. Straight from the phone.

Natural Cycles writes menstrual flow, ovulation tests, and cervical mucus to Apple Health’s Cycle Tracking — and Sahha’s SDK reads them into your app as normalized reproductive tags, alongside every other source.

How it works

Your users connect Natural Cycles. Sahha does the rest.

This is your user’s side of the story — one screen, once. Sahha ingests every Natural Cycles signal, normalizes, deduplicates, and delivers it to your service — raw, or as refined intelligence your product can act on.

On-device and permissioned

Natural Cycles data is read on the user’s own device, only after they grant Apple Health permission — nothing syncs without consent.

One integration, every source

Permission is per data type, not per brand. Anything that writes to Apple Health — Natural Cycles today, a new watch next year — flows through the same SDK with no extra prompt and no new code.

Data coverage

What Natural Cycles syncs through Apple Health.

  • Request only what you need

    You choose exactly which of these signals to request from Apple Health — users are only ever prompted for those, which keeps opt-in rates high.

  • One schema, every source

    Natural Cycles, Apple Watch, and Oura all return the same fields and units.

  • What crosses the bridge

    Menstrual flow, ovulation tests, and cervical mucus pass through Apple Health; some app-exclusive metrics may not.

Natural Cycles writes cycle-tracking entries to Apple Health, which Sahha delivers as reproductive tags (event values like menstrual_flow: medium) via API and webhooks. Basal body temperature stays in the app on most devices — Apple restricts third-party temperature writes except for connected thermometers. It’s an iOS app, so its data lands in Apple Health, not Health Connect.

Get more than just raw data

Sahha turns these signals into biomarkers, scores, archetypes, and insights — the modeling done for you.

Build vs. buy

Reading Apple Health yourself? Here’s the to-do list.

Everything on the left is yours to write, test, and maintain on iOS. Everything on the right, Sahha already did.

Every device
Build it yourself
  • Integrate Apple Health.
  • Handle iOS version differences.
  • Add Health Connect separately for Android.
With Sahha

One SDK covers Apple Health, Health Connect, and every cloud source.

Getting the data
Build it yourself
  • Write the HealthKit queries.
  • Request the right permissions.
  • Wire up background delivery.
With Sahha

The SDK handles queries, permissions, and background sync.

Keeping it clean
Build it yourself
  • Dedupe apps writing the same metric.
  • Map dozens of HealthKit types.
  • Reconcile against your Android sources.
With Sahha

Deduped, typed, one schema — one stream per user.

Turning it into insight
Build it yourself
  • Build a sleep model.
  • Build an activity model.
  • Hire a data scientist.
With Sahha

Scores, archetypes, and insights — built in.

Keeping it alive
Build it yourself
  • Apple changes a HealthKit API.
  • You find out in production.
With Sahha

We version the SDK. You never notice.

No Natural Cycles developer account needed — Sahha reads what Natural Cycles already writes to Apple Health on iOS.

Setup

Live in an afternoon, not a sprint.

  1. # Add the Sahha SDKnpm install sahha-react-native
    01

    Add the Sahha SDK

    Drop the Sahha SDK into your iOS app — or React Native or Flutter. The same SDK also covers Health Connect for your Android sources.

  2. 02

    Prompt for Apple Health permissions

    Call the SDK to show the native Apple Health consent sheet. The user chooses what to share — under your brand. It’s one prompt, ever: permission is per data type, not per brand, so every future source is already covered.

    Sahha reads and delivers

    Once permission is granted, the SDK reads Natural Cycles data from Apple Health in the background, normalizes it to one schema, and streams it to your app by webhook or API.

Most teams read live Natural Cycles data the same day they add the SDK. The only per-source prerequisite: your user has Natural Cycles’s Apple Health sync switched on — most source apps enable it by default.

Destinations

Route it into your stack.

Sahha streams every update to your webhook — and a step-by-step guide takes it the rest of the way into your database, CDP, or messaging tool.

FAQ

Natural Cycles integration questions

How does Sahha get Natural Cycles data?

Natural Cycles writes cycle-tracking entries to Apple Health, and Sahha reads them from there with its mobile SDK, delivering them as normalized reproductive tags — no Natural Cycles API to integrate.

How is cycle data delivered — as biomarkers or tags?

As reproductive tags. Cycle entries are categorical events (menstrual_flow: light/medium/heavy, ovulation_test: negative/high/positive, cervical_mucus: dry/sticky/creamy/watery/egg_white), delivered through Sahha’s API and webhooks alongside biomarkers and scores.

Does Sahha get basal body temperature from Natural Cycles?

Only for users with a connected thermometer. Apple restricts third-party apps from writing to Apple Health’s temperature fields, so on most devices basal body temperature stays in the Natural Cycles app while cycle entries still cross.

Do I need a mobile app to use the Natural Cycles integration?

Yes. Because Natural Cycles data lands in Apple Health on the user’s device, you embed the Sahha mobile SDK to read it. Cloud-only sources like Oura don’t need the SDK, but on-device sources like Natural Cycles do.

Is the Natural Cycles integration HIPAA and GDPR compliant?

Yes. Sahha is HIPAA and GDPR compliant and SOC 2 certified, and Natural Cycles data flows through the same compliant pipeline as every other source.

More integrations

One API for every other source, too.

Add another wearable or app and the schema, webhooks, and scores are identical — no new pipeline to build.
