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. • 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, get a reminder before the appointment, and save or share it 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.

Menopause Intelligence Tracker

Features
Read full description

See the hard day coming. Menopause Intelligence reads the signals your Apple Watch already collects — sleep, heart rate variability, resting heart rate — and gives you tomorrow's flare risk tonight. Free from day one, and it never leaves your iPhone. FREE, FOREVER • Tomorrow's flare risk, every day — one colour-coded score, plus the two or three things driving it • Apple Health backfill — reads up to 90 days of the history you already have, so there is a score on day one, not in three months • Symptom logging in seconds, from your iPhone or your wrist • Period tracking — spotting through to heavy, and the app works out your cycle lengths and how much they are varying • Nature therapy tips for the symptoms you log, written by qualified nature therapists — plus a daily check-in and unlimited history • A one-page summary for your doctor — how often each symptom happened, how bad it was, and whether it is recent, grouped by the domains of the Menopause Rating Scale, with your cycle lengths and how much they have shifted. Print it or email it before an appointment. Free, because the appointment where you most need to be believed is not somewhere to meet a paywall. WHAT YOU CAN LOG Fourteen symptoms — every item on the Menopause Rating Scale, the standard clinical questionnaire for menopause symptoms, plus brain fog and headache: Hot flash · night sweats · palpitations · sleep disturbance · fatigue · brain fog · low mood · irritability · anxiety · joint pain · headache · vaginal dryness · bladder problems · low libido Tap everything that applies, set how bad each one was, and save them together. Mood is three separate entries, not one, because low mood, irritability and anxiety are three different days. The app does not score the scale for you — it makes sure nothing on it goes unrecorded. NATURE THERAPY, FROM QUALIFIED THERAPISTS The tips here are nature therapy, written by the qualified nature therapists on our team, and matched to the symptom you log, not to menopause in general. Cool moving air when a flash starts. Morning daylight for a body clock that has lost track of time. Soft ground, not pavement, on an aching day. Free. WHAT PREMIUM ADDS Once 30 days of your data are in, a model trained on your body alone — not on population averages — takes over the score, and sharpens every week after that. Premium unlocks that personalised score, plus: • Insights — plain English on which of your own signals actually move your symptoms • Flare warnings — a heads-up the night before a high-risk day • Your forecast on the Home Screen widget, Apple Watch and complication • CSV export — every row of your data, for a spreadsheet or another app New subscribers get a 14-day free trial. HOW IT WORKS Hot flashes, brain fog, fatigue and low mood rarely arrive out of nowhere. They tend to follow small shifts in sleep quality, heart rate variability and resting heart rate — changes too subtle to feel, but recorded by your Watch every night. A short questionnaire at setup gives the app your starting context. From there it watches those signals and scores the day ahead. Green. Amber. Red. That is all you need to read. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your health data stays on your device. No account to create. No servers of ours. No analytics SDK. No third-party sharing, ever. The model trains and runs on your iPhone using Apple's on-device machine learning, so your most personal data stays personal. iCloud sync to your own private account is available, and off unless you turn it on. BUILT FOR YOUR LIFE For women in their 40s and 50s who would rather see a hard day coming than be ambushed by it. Large, easy controls. No jargon. No pink overload. Works on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
