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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meno at none against MidLife's 1. Meno also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). MidLife's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
