Lutara is a private symptom tracker for perimenopause and menopause. Log hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood and HRT โ€” get a weekly summary you can hand to your doctor. Most cycle apps are built for women in their 20s. Lutara is built for what comes after: irregular cycles, perimenopause symptoms, hormone replacement therapy, and the conversation you want to have at your next appointment. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Three-second symptom log โ€” 18 symptoms, from hot flashes and night sweats to anxiety, joint aches and fatigue. โ€ข Weekly verdict written on your iPhone โ€” the patterns and changes in your week, in plain words. โ€ข HRT tracking โ€” brand, dose, schedule. โ€ข Doctor-ready PDF โ€” a printable report with a weekly chart, a symptom table and your HRT, ready for your gynecologist or GP. It covers the last 4 weeks; Lutara Pro goes back 3 months. โ€ข Apple Health integration โ€” wrist temperature, sleep stages, HRV and reproductive health, automatically. โ€ข Home Screen widget โ€” log a hot flash in one tap, without opening the app. MORE THAN HOT FLASHES Anxiety, heart palpitations, joint and muscle aches, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, skin and hair changes, bladder changes, breast tenderness โ€” 18 symptoms, each one tap away. If it's happening to you, it belongs in your log. PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ€ข No account. No email. No password. โ€ข Your health data lives on your iPhone, encrypted. โ€ข Weekly verdicts are generated on-device, with Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones. Your symptom history is never sent to any cloud AI. โ€ข No ads. No tracking. No data sales. Ever. NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE Lutara is a wellness and journaling tool. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical decisions, including hormone replacement therapy. SUBSCRIPTION โ€ข Lutara Pro adds the 3-month doctor report with week-by-week trends.

Track hot flashes, periods, HRT, sleep, and mood. Export a clean report for your doctor. That's it. HotFlash is a private menopause journal built for women who are tired of subscription apps that demand an account, store your symptom data in the cloud, and charge a yearly fee for what should be a simple log. No subscriptions. No account. No cloud. No ads. Pay once, log forever. ONE-TAP HOT FLASH LOG Tap once to log a hot flash with the current time. Hold to start a Live Activity timer that runs from the Lock Screen โ€” no need to dig through menus when it starts. Adjust severity, add triggers, and capture night sweats automatically. PERIMENOPAUSE-AWARE CYCLE TRACKING HotFlash counts up โ€” days since your last period โ€” and never pretends to predict an irregular cycle. Your cycle history shows your real pattern without false forecasts. HRT & MEDICATION LOG Patches, gels, oral estrogen, progesterone, vaginal estrogen, testosterone, and non-hormonal options โ€” log doses, set optional reminders, and track compliance. No prefilled drug database. You add what you actually take. SLEEP & MOOD QUICK CAPTURE A single morning log captures sleep quality, hours slept, wake-ups, night sweats, and morning mood. A REPORT FOR YOUR DOCTOR Export a clean PDF with hot flash frequency, time-of-day patterns, HRT compliance, sleep, mood, and your own notes. Take it to your appointment. No more "I think it's been getting worse" โ€” you'll have the data. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. Optional Face ID lock for extra privacy. Your menopause data never leaves your device. Built for women who are tired of paying every year for features that should be a one-time purchase. If you've ever closed a "wellness" app because it asked you to sign in to track your own body, this app is for you. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE HotFlash is a personal log, not a medical device. It does not provide diagnosis or treatment recommendations. Always consult your healthcare provider about menopausal symptoms and HRT.
