Perimenopause is confusing. Cycles shift, sleep gets lighter, energy moves in ways you can't quite place. Mella helps you see the pattern. How it works: • Start with a short assessment. Based on the symptoms you share, Mella suggests which phase of the transition your pattern best fits (early, mid, or late). For education, not a medical diagnosis. • See your symptom profile. Your answers mapped across six dimensions (temperature, sleep, mood, body, intimate, digestive) so you can spot what's shifting and what isn't. • Check in daily. Thirty seconds to log common perimenopause symptoms, or add your own. Your history builds into a timeline so you can see what's changing over time. • See your sleep, scored. Connect Apple Health and Mella turns your Apple Watch sleep into a nightly score, plus trends in duration, regularity, and wake-ups. • Let your days fill themselves in. Connect Apple Health and the movement your Apple Watch recorded can pre-fill your daily check-in. • Gentle daily reminders. An optional daily nudge so checking in becomes a habit. • Today on your Lock Screen. Check in, log a symptom or mark a dose without opening the app. • Meet your Bloom Type. After your first seven check-ins, Mella reveals the archetype your pattern most resembles: the cluster of symptoms you carry, the way they travel, the rhythm that's only yours. It's a name for what's happening, not a diagnosis. • Something to read each day. A short piece drawn from research, matched to the areas where you have the most room to feel better. • Follow a weekly plan. A few small tasks each week, chosen with you around the symptom area that hits hardest, ticked off day by day. • Get weekly insights. As your check-in history grows, Mella highlights patterns across your symptoms week to week, in plain language. • Read or listen on your own time. Short, research-informed articles on perimenopause topics, from sleep to mood to body changes. Selected articles come with audio narration. • Keep your daily routine in one place. What you take and do each day, with a history you can look back through and bring to an appointment. • Get ready for doctor visits. Turn your check-ins into a clear summary with your questions, add lab results, letters or scans, get a reminder before the appointment, record the visit if your doctor is fine with it, and keep what you were told and what comes next. Save or share the summary as a PDF. Mella is for education and wellness. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions. Subscription: Mella Monthly is $14.99 per month and Mella Annual is $118.99 per year.

Meno helps you understand your perimenopause — privately, in seconds a day, on a phone that keeps your health data to itself. Built for the symptoms that generic period apps ignore, and for cycles that no longer follow a schedule. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • 30+ symptoms — hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, joint pain, anxiety, insomnia, palpitations, and more • Severity 1–5, in two taps • Triggers: caffeine, alcohol, stress, poor sleep, heat, and your own • Periods of any length — a 2-day bleed, a 60-day gap, spotting. No app should tell you that is invalid • Free-text notes, and a "good day" marker for the wins • Your own custom symptoms and triggers, with no limit WHAT'S FREE, FOREVER • Logging symptoms, triggers, cycles and notes • Heatmap calendar over your whole history • Trend and frequency charts for 7, 30 and 90 days • PDF export for your doctor • A daily reminder • Five languages No account. No sign-up. Supported by ads. WHAT MENO PRO ADDS • HRT & medication tracking — record what you were prescribed, tick off each dose, and see how your symptoms compared before and after a dose change • Doctor report — a fuller PDF with a symptom score clinicians recognise, charts, your medications and adherence, plus a space for the questions you want to ask. CSV export too • Encrypted backup — one file you save wherever you keep your files, so a new phone does not cost you years of entries • Longer history — 6 months, a year, everything; compare two symptoms side by side • No ads, and no advertising SDK running at all ABOUT YOUR DATA Your symptoms, cycles and medications are stored only on your phone, in a local database. They are never uploaded, never sold, and never visible to advertisers — there is no server to send them to. The free version shows ads. The advertiser sees your device's ad identifier, never anything you logged. Meno Pro removes ads entirely. Your health data leaves the app only when you choose: a report you export, or a backup file you create, which is encrypted with a passphrase only you know. A NOTE ON THE MEDICATION FEATURE Meno records what your clinician prescribed and shows you your own logged data around it. It does not recommend, calculate or adjust doses, and it is not a substitute for medical advice. Always discuss your treatment with your clinician. Designed for women 40–55. Built after reading 134,000+ reviews of apps that let them down.
