Lutara is a private symptom tracker for perimenopause and menopause. Log hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood and HRT — 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 • Three-second symptom log — 18 symptoms, from hot flashes and night sweats to anxiety, joint aches and fatigue. • Weekly verdict written on your iPhone — the patterns and changes in your week, in plain words. • HRT tracking — brand, dose, schedule. • Doctor-ready PDF — 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. • Apple Health integration — wrist temperature, sleep stages, HRV and reproductive health, automatically. • Home Screen widget — 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 — 18 symptoms, each one tap away. If it's happening to you, it belongs in your log. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No email. No password. • Your health data lives on your iPhone, encrypted. • Weekly verdicts are generated on-device, with Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones.

Ask anything, any time, with an AI guide built around perimenopause and menopause.
