Pausely
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pausely is the private menopause tracker built around the one thing other apps make impossible: logging a hot flash the moment it happens, in a single tap. ONE-TAP HOT FLASH LOGGING Hot flashes hit many times a day, at the worst times. Tap once to log each one, with the time captured automatically. See how many you have had today on a simple timeline, and watch the real pattern build, including how many strike at night. ALL 34 PERIMENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS From night sweats and brain fog to joint pain, anxiety, and the symptoms no one warns you about. Tap what you feel, set the severity, and Pausely quietly builds your picture over weeks. SEE YOUR PATTERN, READY FOR YOUR DOCTOR Clear trends over 30 and 90 days, and a doctor-visit summary that turns months of tracking into real data for your appointment instead of vague recollection. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No ads, no tracking, no cloud. Your symptoms are stored only on your device, and nothing is ever uploaded. Pausely is a tracking tool, not medical advice or a diagnosis. Talk to your doctor or a menopause specialist about treatment.
Rhythmus

Rhythmus is a period tracker with a cycle calendar โ plus a nutrition and training plan that changes with your cycle. WHAT RHYTHMUS DOES โข Cycle and period calendar: log your period, see your cycle day and phase at a glance, with estimated ovulation and fertile window โข Nutrition plan: meals and nutrients matched to your current phase โ omnivore, vegetarian, vegan โ with a shopping list โข Training plan: workouts scaled to your intensity and training days, logged set by set โข Supplements: which nutrients matter in which phase โข Daily energy check-in: feeling low, and the app suggests a gentler session โข Weekly overview, symptom diary, cycle statistics from your own history WHO IT IS FOR For women who train and notice that the same session feels easy one week and impossible the next. Menstruation, follicular phase, ovulation and the luteal phase each ask for something different โ Rhythmus takes that into account. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING No sign-up, no registration, no ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases. Everything you enter stays on your device and is sent nowhere. The app works fully offline. From Settings you can export a backup at any time and restore it on another device. WITH SOURCES Every health statement in the app comes with a citation you can tap โ straight to the study or fact sheet. Among others from the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, the Journal of Medical Internet Research and the National Institutes of Health. Available in German, English and Spanish. Rhythmus is a free passion project. Note: Rhythmus is not a medical device, not a contraception method, and does not replace medical advice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Rhythmus at daily against Pausely's every 10 days. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
