About

Marlune

Read full description

Marlune is the perimenopause and menopause tracker for the years nobody prepared you for. About 20 seconds a day, and it does the remembering. Track hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, brain fog, anxiety, mood, irritability, memory lapses, low energy, joint pain, muscle aches, headaches, palpitations and anything else you want to name yourself. Perimenopause does not arrive with a chart. It arrives as a bad week you cannot explain, a night you did not sleep, a word you could not find, and an appointment where you are asked how long it has been going on and you genuinely do not know. Marlune keeps the record, so you can answer that with your own data instead of your memory. A DAILY CHECK IN THAT TAKES ABOUT 20 SECONDS • Log symptoms on a five level scale, not a diary entry • Sleep, mood, and what else was going on that day • Add your own symptoms when the standard list does not fit • Tick off the HRT, supplements and medication you actually took SEE YOUR OWN PATTERNS • Seven and thirty day charts for every symptom you track • Marlune tells you what it notices, and stays quiet when there is not enough logged • Cycle, water, weight and your Apple Health numbers alongside • Patterns are never stated as causes JUNO, A COMPANION WHO KNOWS YOUR HISTORY • Ask anything and get an answer grounded in what you have actually logged, three conversations a day free • No starting from scratch, no explaining yourself twice • Juno never diagnoses and never tells you what to take WALK INTO YOUR APPOINTMENT PREPARED • A clean PDF summary of your last thirty days • Suggested questions, based on what you have been logging • A plain statement of what your record cannot tell a clinician • A letter you can share with a partner who wants to understand BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • No account needed, and your daily check in works offline • Home Screen widgets for your streak and your week • Export everything, or delete your account, whenever you want • Apple Health is optional and stays off until you turn it on WHY MARLUNE Period apps are built around a cycle that is becoming unpredictable, which is the whole point of perimenopause. General symptom trackers hand you a spreadsheet. Marlune is built for the transition itself: symptoms, sleep, treatments, cycle and the conversation with your doctor, in a voice that is not clinical. MARLUNE+ Your tracking, your insights and your doctor summaries stay free, always. Marlune+ adds 90, 180 and 365 day ranges in Trends, unlimited conversations with Juno, treatment trials, every accent theme, and a second Streak Freeze. Marlune Monthly: $9.99 USD per month. Marlune Yearly: $49.99 USD per year. Both plans are free for the first month for new subscribers. Prices vary by region and are shown in your own currency at purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically at the price shown unless auto renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto renewal in your App Store account settings after purchase. Any unused part of a free period is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Marlune is a wellness app for tracking and education. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose any condition, treat symptoms, recommend or change any medication, or replace your doctor. Always speak to a qualified clinician about symptoms, treatment and any health decision. If you are bleeding heavily, bleeding again after twelve months without a period, or you are worried about anything, contact a doctor.
