How many hot flashes this week? How did you sleep, and how was your mood? You don't have to remember. When a hot flash hits, one tap is enough, and Pausa shows you how your week went, all in one place. Menopause and the years before it are hard to keep track of in your head. What you write stays with you. No sign-up: we don't ask for an email or a password. No ads, and your information is never sold. Pausa has no servers, so we can't see what you write. Your entries are part of your iPhone's own backup. You can lock Pausa with Face ID if you like. Everything in Today. When a hot flash hits, tap the circle: you see right away how many you've had today and when the last one was. You can also log from the Lock Screen, on Apple Watch or by asking Siri. Add your sleep and mood with one tap each, and write what happened that day. Missed a day? "Add to another day". Connect Apple Health if you like, and things like your nighttime body temperature fill in on their own. If you log your period there, your period days show up on the symptom calendar too. Describe your day. Write it however it comes to you: "Woke up sweating twice last night, three hot flashes in the evening." The AI on your iPhone turns it into a note; you see what it understood before saving and fix anything that's off. What you write never leaves your iPhone. Works on iPhones with Apple Intelligence. Your hormone medications, one by one. Patch, gel, pills, spray: add each medication separately, with its dose and how often you use it, the way your doctor told you. Pausa never suggests a dose. On the Today screen, mark each one Taken or Skipped with one tap. When your dose or schedule changes, tap "Changed"; the old one stays in your history. Set a reminder per medication if you like: your Lock Screen only says "Pausa reminder", never the medication name. It starts with you. The first time you open Pausa, we ask what bothers you most and which stage you're in. Your picks stay on the Today screen, and we skip questions that don't fit you. Trends: a short summary every week. At the end of the week you see how your hot flashes, sleep and mood went. A card also shows which hours of the day they tend to come, based on the time you logged each one. We also compare it with what you told us at the start: "At the start you said about 5 a day; this week you averaged 3." Pausa points out links you might want to notice, in plain sentences, such as more hot flashes the day after a poor night. They're there to help you notice, never a diagnosis. Doctor: go prepared. Turn weeks of notes into a tidy summary to show your doctor. Instead of "I just don't feel right", you have the real picture in your hand. Your medications, their doses and since when you've used them are included too. What's free and what's Premium. Notes, reminders, the weekly summary and asking about your notes in the Ask tab are always free: questions like "How many hot flashes did I have this week?" are answered from your own notes, and answers to general questions are based on sources such as The Menopause Society, NICE and ACOG. Premium adds: β’ A tidy summary to show your doctor β’ Seeing what changed after your medication changed β’ Comparing your hot flashes on period days with other days β’ Asking anything in your own words and getting a written answer β’ A short write-up of your week Open-ended questions and the weekly write-up work on iPhones that support Apple Intelligence. If you're new to Premium, it's free for 14 days on the yearly plan and 7 days on the monthly plan. We remind you 2 days before the trial ends; cancel before then and you pay nothing. The price is shown clearly on the payment screen. Pausa is a helper to get to know your body better. It isn't a medical device; it doesn't diagnose or suggest treatment. If something doesn't go away or worries you, talk to your doctor. Privacy: https://heypausa.com/legal/#privacy-en Terms of use: https://heypausa.com/legal/#eula-en
Menorai

Menorai helps you understand your menopause β and walk into every appointment with real data, not guesses. Log a hot flash in two taps. See whether your HRT is actually working. Export a doctor-ready PDF in one tap. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK Hot flashes, night sweats, mood dips, anxiety, brain fog, joint pain, headaches, sleep issues, libido changes, irregular bleeding and weight β plus water, exercise, stress, caffeine, alcohol, sleep and your cycle. Over 20 data points, most logged in seconds. SEE IF YOUR HRT IS WORKING Log your doses, and Menorai compares symptom severity inside your on-dose windows against your off-dose windows over 90 days. It reports a pattern only when there is enough data to support one β never a guess. COOL DOWN A HOT FLASH A two-minute guided breathing exercise you can start the moment a hot flash hits. Slow, paced breathing is a simple, drug-free technique that many people find takes the edge off. YOUR MENOPAUSE MILESTONE Menopause is confirmed after 12 months in a row without a period. Menorai counts the months since your last bleed, so you always know where you are β and reminds you to tell your doctor about any bleeding after that point. CYCLE AND PERIOD TRACKING Follow how your cycle changes through perimenopause, with flow, pain, cramping and spotting recorded alongside your symptoms. Predictions are held back when your cycle is too irregular to call honestly. PREGNANCY TRACKER Pregnancy is still possible in perimenopause. If you're expecting, enter your due date or the first day of your last period and see your week, trimester and days to go at a glance. Pregnancy data stays on your device and is never uploaded. PATTERNS WORTH KNOWING Menorai notices what is hard to see yourself: the time of day your symptoms cluster, which weekday runs heaviest, how this week compares with last, and whether symptoms follow a phase of your cycle. BUILT FOR THE DOCTOR'S VISIT One tap creates a professional PDF of your symptoms, trends and medication history β so you spend the appointment talking, not scrolling through screenshots. AI HEALTH COMPANION Ask questions and get answers grounded in your own tracked data rather than generic advice. Import a lab result or a letter and get it explained in plain English. APPLE HEALTH Bring in sleep, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, steps, weight and workouts to sit alongside what you log. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data is written to your device first and synced only to your own account. You can use Menorai entirely as a guest, with no account at all. We never sell your health data. FREE - Unlimited symptom, cycle and medication logging - Week and month trends - Daily routine, up to 3 tasks - 2 AI questions - Your first pattern insight - Hot flash cool down, menopause milestone and pregnancy tracker MENORAI PREMIUM β $4.99/month or $39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial - Unlimited AI questions and document review - 90-day and full-year history - On-dose vs off-dose HRT correlation - Every pattern insight - Doctor PDF, summary PDF and CSV export - Unlimited routine tasks and all themes Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
