Liora

"I do not know why some weeks are so much worse." If that sentence sounds familiar, Liora was built for you. Liora helps women in perimenopause understand WHY symptoms happen, not just log that they did, by connecting a 20-second daily check-in to your own sleep and activity data from Apple Health. No judgment. No diagnosis. Just your patterns, in clear language. SEE THE PATTERN BEHIND YOUR WORST WEEKS Every Sunday morning, your Weekly Insight arrives: a clear report connecting that week's symptoms to that week's sleep, heart-rate variability (HRV), steps, and activity. "Your data shows a pattern of..." Your own numbers, finally telling a story you can use. THE STRAW+10 HORMONE HORIZON MAP Discover where you stand in the midlife transition using the Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop (STRAW+10) clinical staging standard. Whether you have natural cycles or navigate a non-bleeding transition (surgical menopause, hysterectomy, hormonal IUD, or ablation), Liora maps your transition stages with personalized physiological context. TREATMENT & REGIMEN TRACKING Track HRT, supplements, and lifestyle factors. After 14 days of consistent tracking, Liora compares your baseline biometrics against your current wearable trends to show observed shifts in sleep duration, overnight HRV, and symptom frequency. MORNING RESILIENCE BRIEFING Wake up to an objective resilience briefing. Liora analyzes overnight sleep efficiency, autonomic HRV recovery, and nocturnal disturbance clusters to help you plan and pace your daily energy. A DAILY LOG THAT TAKES 20 SECONDS Three taps: pick a symptom (hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, sleep disruption, mood changes, and more), rate it 1 to 5, done. Add an optional note or log clear symptom-free days. It works completely offline, syncs seamlessly when connected, and never guilt-trips you about a missed day. Missed yesterday? Tap any past day on the interactive calendar to log retrospectively. YOUR APPLE HEALTH DATA, WORKING FOR YOU With your permission, Liora reads daily summaries from Apple Health: sleep stages, HRV, steps, active energy, and weight. Read-only, always: Liora never writes to Apple Health, and you can revoke access anytime. Wearing an Apple Watch? Your passive biometrics do half the tracking for you. BUILT FOR EVERY PATH THROUGH MENOPAUSE Surgical menopause. Induced menopause. Irregular cycles. No periods. Every path is a first-class citizen in Liora, never an afterthought and never a locked-in label. 1-PAGE CLINICAL CONSULTATION BRIEF Export a clean, single-page PDF summarizing your active regimens, 14-day wearable shifts, and recent symptom logs. Complete with evidence-based clinician discussion prompts, it transforms vague recollections into productive conversations with your doctor. HONEST & PRIVATE BY DESIGN If a week does not have enough logged days to say anything meaningful, Liora tells you directly. It never invents correlations to look smart. Your privacy is structural: no third-party ad networks, no data selling, and one-tap data export and account deletion live right in Settings. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Liora offers monthly and annual auto-renewing subscriptions with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage your subscription in App Store Account Settings anytime. IMPORTANT NOTICE Liora describes observational patterns in self-reported data and wearable signals. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and is not a medical device. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding midlife health decisions.
