Menopause is real. Let's make it manageable. MenoWave is a private journal for the years your body changes: hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, brain fog โ€” and the HRT or supplements you take. No diagnoses, no medical advice โ€” just your own numbers, kept simple. ONE-TAP HOT FLASH LOG A hot flash hits โ€” you tap once. That's the whole workflow. MenoWave counts them, maps them by hour of day, and shows exactly when they strike. 30-SECOND DAILY CHECK-IN Rate the symptoms that matter to you, plus sleep, mood and energy. No endless forms โ€” short enough that you'll actually keep doing it. SPOT YOUR TRIGGERS Coffee? Alcohol? Stress? MenoWave compares your days with simple frequency statistics and surfaces patterns like "alcohol days โ†’ +40% hot flashes." No AI, no guessing โ€” just your own numbers. DOCTOR-READY PDF REPORT One page with your hot flash frequency, symptom trends, sleep and HRT log for the last 30 or 90 days. Bring data, not memories, to your next appointment. HRT & SUPPLEMENTS LOG Gentle daily reminders and an adherence percentage โ€” see how consistently you're taking what you and your doctor agreed on. MenoWave only logs what you take; every dose and change stays between you and your doctor. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything you log is stored on your phone. No account, no cloud, no sharing โ€” ever. MenoWave is a personal journal, not medical advice. It does not diagnose, treat or manage any condition. Always discuss your symptoms and HRT with your doctor. โ€” Subscription: Weekly $5.99 or Yearly $39.99. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account and auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Verdict

The call

Vera and MenoWave are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
