Your labs were normal. Your days weren’t. MeNome is a clinical record and a pattern engine, held by the patient. It was built for the person who has been sick for years, has a folder of results that all came back “normal,” and has stopped expecting to be believed. Forty-five seconds a night builds a dated, structured record of your illness as it is actually lived. Every night an engine built for clinical research reads that record against every night before it. By about two weeks you have something no memory can give you: the dates, the pattern, and one plain sentence for the next appointment. THE RECORD Five symptoms on a clinical scale: pain, bloating, nausea, fatigue, bowel function. Then food, fluid, sleep, mood and a note if you have them. Every entry is dated the night it is made. Nothing is reconstructed later. The vocabulary follows the Rome criteria, the international standard gastroenterologists use, so the record speaks a clinician’s language without asking you to learn it. THE ENGINE MeNome does not count your symptoms. It reads them together: which move with which, which lead and which follow, what precedes your worst days, and whether the system is holding its line or beginning to break apart. It says “still calibrating” while the record is short rather than inventing a finding. BELLYSCORE Your gut on a 0 to 100 scale anchored to your own baseline, reported in four bands: Steady, Sensitive, Strained, Flared. It measures you against you, never against a healthy stranger. THE MAP Six connected systems, redrawn every night from your record. Your symptoms never stayed in one specialty. Neither does the map. THE PHYSIOLOGICAL READ An optional thirty-second read of your nervous system through the camera and microphone. Nothing to wear, nothing to buy. Skip it whenever you like. THE SENTENCE, AND THE EXPORT “This is the fourth episode in ninety days. Here are the dates.” When the record has shape, MeNome puts it into one plain sentence with the dates behind it, and exports a summary a clinician reads in a minute. We cannot promise how the visit goes. We can promise you will not walk in from memory. THE FORECAST (PREMIUM) With enough record, the engine projects your own pattern forward: the conditions that have preceded your worst days, and the direction the coming weeks are likely to take if nothing changes. Drawn only from your history, stated with its uncertainty. It is not a diagnosis. NO STREAKS, NO SHAME Miss a night, miss a week. Nothing resets, nothing scolds. A record with gaps is still a record, and still more than memory. YOURS Your record belongs to you. Never sold, never traded, shared only when you choose to export it. Delete your account and it is deleted. BUILT BY An emergency physician who has said “your labs are normal” to people he knew were not fine, with an independent clinical advisory board across emergency medicine, gastroenterology, pain research and patient experience. FREE TO START The nightly entry, BellyScore, the physiological read and the map are free. MeNome Premium adds the forecast, the full nutrient picture and the clinician export: $9.99 a month or $89 a year after a two-week trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Anyone who joined while the app was fully free keeps the access they were promised, for life. MeNome is a wellness tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease and is not a substitute for medical care. Severe, sudden or worsening symptoms belong in the emergency department.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: MeNome at ad-supported against Coherence's subscription. MeNome also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Coherence's advantage is ratings volume (652 vs 4) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Coherence sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and MeNome sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MeNome holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coherence has 652 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Coherence's written reviews are positive against 100% of MeNome's.
Coherence ships an update every 4 days, MeNome every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
