WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE - Log every day in under 30 seconds: pick an overall mood, note your period status, and rate the symptoms that matter to you. - Track every symptom that matters to you on a simple 0-3 severity scale: hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, anxiety, joint aches, dryness, low libido, fatigue, and more. No cap on how many you can follow. - Tag triggers like sleep, stress, alcohol, caffeine, and heat - all included. - Calendar heatmap month view, color-coded by symptom load. Tap any day for a full recap. - Basic insights: symptom frequency, severity trend, and mood trend over the last 30, 60, or 90 days. - Jot a short note when something stands out, with simple #hashtag support in your notes. - Daily reminder at the time you choose. - Read sleep, steps, and active energy from Apple Health (optional and read-only). - Protect the app with Face ID or Touch ID. - Export daily logs, treatment changes and weekly reviews as CSV reference files. - Build a Treatment Journey with dated HRT, prescription and supplement changes that never overwrite earlier doses. - Add treatment goals, follow-up dates and a short weekly reflection, including questions for your next appointment. - See treatment-change markers on the same calendar as your symptom history. - Your journal history, stored on your device. UPGRADE TO PRO - Treatment response: compare symptom frequency for the 14 days before and after a treatment change, with optional read-only Apple Health sleep and step context - Advanced patterns: trigger and symptom correlations, plus month-over-month comparison - Calendar search: find any day by note keyword or #hashtag - Appointment Pack - an automatically paginated PDF with treatment changes, response, current medications and your latest questions PRO PURCHASE OPTIONS - Annual: 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers, then $29.99/year - Lifetime: $39.99 one-time purchase, no subscription or recurring charge Both options unlock the same Pro features. Lifetime is a restorable one-time purchase without recurring charges. Eligible Annual subscribers are not charged for 7 days; it then renews at the displayed annual price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends.

Manage or cancel in Settings, Apple ID, Subscriptions. Apple handles refunds. PRIVACY IS THE POINT - No journal account or developer cloud sync. - All entries, symptoms, treatment events, weekly reviews, and medications are stored locally on your device using Apple SwiftData. - Apple Health access is read-only; MenoLog does not upload health records to a developer service. - No third-party SDKs except Apple StoreKit for optional Pro purchases and Apple HealthKit for the optional health integration. - No analytics or tracking SDKs. Settings includes an optional recommendation for another app from the developer. - Device backups follow your Apple settings. You choose where to share exports; CSV/PDF files are not restorable database backups. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER MenoLog is a personal journal.

RunTrace
Read full descriptionHide full description
Install RunTrace and your running history is already there. Every run in Apple Health — the ones from your Apple Watch, the ones from whatever app you used before — is on the first screen, with its route, splits and heart rate intact. No account to make, no import to wait for, nothing to set up. Then it records new runs too. GPS route, live pace, splits as you pass each kilometre or mile, auto-pause when you stop at a light, and spoken split announcements so you don't have to look. Distance and pace stay on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a pause button you can reach without unlocking. FREE, AND IT STAYS FREE • Your whole Apple Health running history, imported on first launch • GPS recording with live pace, auto-pause and spoken splits • The Apple Watch app — it records on its own, so you can leave the phone at home • Route map, plus a profile of pace, elevation or heart rate along the distance • Splits chart showing your fastest and slowest laps • Time in five heart-rate zones, and a note for how it felt • This week day by day, and a calendar of every day you ran • Weekly volume and pace trend over the last three months • Records: longest run, longest time, best pace, biggest week, week streak • A weekly distance goal, with optional reminders on the days you plan to run • A share card built for someone else's feed: one big number and the shape of your route, no street map of your neighbourhood • GPX export of any run, or all of them at once, with heart rate and cadence • Home Screen widget with this week's distance and your last run RUNTRACE PRO: KNOW WHAT EVERY RUN IS DOING FOR YOU • Fitness, Fatigue and Form — training load that tells you whether you're fresh, building, or overreaching • VO₂ Max, resting heart rate and HRV, each against where it was three months ago • Running form measured by Apple Watch: power, cadence, stride length, ground contact and vertical oscillation • Best efforts at 1 km, 1 mile, 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon, found inside runs you've already done • Volume and pace trends across a year, or every year you've run Pro cards are drawn from your own runs, so before you subscribe you can see that the numbers are yours, not a sample. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no ads, no analytics, no servers of ours. Purchases go through the App Store and nowhere else. Runs you record sync through your own private iCloud, so they follow you between devices. What RunTrace reads from Apple Health stays on the device it read it from. ALREADY BOUGHT RUNTRACE? If you paid for RunTrace before it became free, you already have Pro — for life, including everything new. Nothing to restore, nothing to tap. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS RunTrace Pro is available as: • Yearly subscription, with a 2-week free trial for eligible new subscribers • Monthly subscription • Lifetime — a single payment that never renews Prices are shown in the app and may vary by region.
