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.

Ember
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ember is a perimenopause symptom tracker built for this transition, not adapted from a period tracker. A minute a day, and a report your doctor can actually use. A DAILY CHECK-IN, BUILT FOR PERIMENOPAUSE Tap the symptoms that showed up today, from hot flashes and night sweats to brain fog, low mood and joint aches, and rate how strong they were. Add sleep, habits, bleeding and HRT. It takes about a minute. There are no fertility prompts and no cycle predictions, and a missed day breaks nothing. A REPORT FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT Ember turns what you log into a clear summary for your doctor or specialist: which symptoms came up most, how intense they were, and your monthly check-in score. Share it as a PDF, print it, or show it on your phone. SEE HOW THINGS CHANGE Trends shows each symptom over the past week, month or three months. Once a month, a short check-in asks how much each symptom has bothered you, and your score shows which way things are moving. HRT REMINDERS ON YOUR SCHEDULE If you take HRT, set a quiet reminder on the days and at the time that suit you. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH If you choose, Ember fills in last night's sleep and the day's workouts from Apple Health. It reads them on your phone and never writes to Health. WHAT YOU LOG STAYS ON YOUR PHONE There is no account to create and no Ember server holding your logs. They leave your phone only when you share a report or a backup yourself. Ember sends anonymous usage counts and crash reports, which never include anything you log. ORGANIZED, NEVER DIAGNOSED Ember doesn't diagnose, explain causes or give medical advice. It organizes what you log, so you and your doctor can decide what it means. SUBSCRIPTION Ember is $6.99 a month, or $49.99 a year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is taken through your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meno at none against Ember's 3. Ember's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
