Your cycle. Your business. Simple Cycle is a private period tracker for keeping useful records without accounts, ads, tracking, or subscriptions. Period dates, symptoms, and notes are stored locally on your iPhone. We don't collect your cycle or symptom data. There is no cloud sync, Apple Health connection, or automatic sharing. Export a copy only when you choose. START WITH WHAT YOU KNOW Add a period with start and end dates, record an ongoing period, or come back to earlier dates. Edit a whole period without losing its symptoms or notes. Setup is optional: you don't need to rebuild years of history to begin. LOG YOUR WAY Record flow, cramps, mood, and notes on any day. Add custom symptoms, put favorites first, and leave anything blank. An unanswered field stays unanswered. SEE YOUR HISTORY CLEARLY Compare completed cycle lengths and period lengths, with the number of records behind each summary. Browse a dated timeline of symptoms and notes, filter entries, and return to a day to make a correction. YOUR RECORDS. YOUR CALL. Create a readable PDF report or CSV file right on your iPhone. Choose the dates, symptoms, and notes to include, preview the result, then decide whether to share. Export and deletion remain available after your trial ends. Add an optional app lock using Face ID, Touch ID, or your iPhone passcode. ESTIMATES ARE OPTIONAL Show or hide period estimates and choose whether to receive a period reminder. An estimated fertile window is available only if you turn it on. It does not confirm ovulation. Estimated fertile window based on cycle averages. Not a contraceptive. Not for family planning. ONE PURCHASE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Try everything free for seven days, then keep tracking with one lifetime purchase. No recurring payments. No ads. No tracking. Ever. Built by Under5.
Menorai

Menorai helps you understand your menopause — and walk into every appointment with real data, not guesses. Log a hot flash in two taps. See whether your HRT is actually working. Export a doctor-ready PDF in one tap. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK Hot flashes, night sweats, mood dips, anxiety, brain fog, joint pain, headaches, sleep issues, libido changes, irregular bleeding and weight — plus water, exercise, stress, caffeine, alcohol, sleep and your cycle. Over 20 data points, most logged in seconds. SEE IF YOUR HRT IS WORKING Log your doses, and Menorai compares symptom severity inside your on-dose windows against your off-dose windows over 90 days. It reports a pattern only when there is enough data to support one — never a guess. COOL DOWN A HOT FLASH A two-minute guided breathing exercise you can start the moment a hot flash hits. Slow, paced breathing is a simple, drug-free technique that many people find takes the edge off. YOUR MENOPAUSE MILESTONE Menopause is confirmed after 12 months in a row without a period. Menorai counts the months since your last bleed, so you always know where you are — and reminds you to tell your doctor about any bleeding after that point. CYCLE AND PERIOD TRACKING Follow how your cycle changes through perimenopause, with flow, pain, cramping and spotting recorded alongside your symptoms. Predictions are held back when your cycle is too irregular to call honestly. PREGNANCY TRACKER Pregnancy is still possible in perimenopause. If you're expecting, enter your due date or the first day of your last period and see your week, trimester and days to go at a glance. Pregnancy data stays on your device and is never uploaded. PATTERNS WORTH KNOWING Menorai notices what is hard to see yourself: the time of day your symptoms cluster, which weekday runs heaviest, how this week compares with last, and whether symptoms follow a phase of your cycle. BUILT FOR THE DOCTOR'S VISIT One tap creates a professional PDF of your symptoms, trends and medication history — so you spend the appointment talking, not scrolling through screenshots. AI HEALTH COMPANION Ask questions and get answers grounded in your own tracked data rather than generic advice. Import a lab result or a letter and get it explained in plain English. APPLE HEALTH Bring in sleep, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, steps, weight and workouts to sit alongside what you log. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data is written to your device first and synced only to your own account. You can use Menorai entirely as a guest, with no account at all. We never sell your health data. FREE - Unlimited symptom, cycle and medication logging - Week and month trends - Daily routine, up to 3 tasks - 2 AI questions - Your first pattern insight - Hot flash cool down, menopause milestone and pregnancy tracker MENORAI PREMIUM — $4.99/month or $39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial - Unlimited AI questions and document review - 90-day and full-year history - On-dose vs off-dose HRT correlation - Every pattern insight - Doctor PDF, summary PDF and CSV export - Unlimited routine tasks and all themes Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Menorai is a tracking and insight tool, not a diagnostic or treatment tool. Always consult your healthcare provider about your symptoms and treatment options.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Menorai at every 2 weeks against Simple Cycle's every 3 months. Simple Cycle's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
