Perimenopause Symptom Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
You are not imagining it. The sudden heat. Waking at 3am. The word that will not come. Periods that arrive early, late, heavy, or not at all. Perimenopause can start in your late thirties and last for years, and most women are told it is nothing, or that they are simply stressed. This app helps you see it clearly. Log how you feel each day in under a minute, watch the patterns appear, and walk into your doctor's appointment with something better than "I just feel off." DAILY CHECK-IN IN UNDER A MINUTE Tap once to log a symptom, tap again to set the intensity. Add how you slept, how stressed you felt, and a note if you want one. No typing required, no long forms. It is designed to be quick enough that you actually keep doing it. A SUMMARY YOU CAN HAND TO YOUR DOCTOR This is the part women tell us they wanted. The app turns your logs into a clear summary written as a letter, addressed to your doctor by name, covering your most frequent symptoms and how severe they usually are, a chart of your symptom load over time, your cycle lengths and how much they varied, and how sleep and stress tracked alongside everything else. Choose three months, six months or everything you have logged, then bring it to your appointment or send it ahead. Ten minutes with a GP goes a lot further when you have the data in front of you. PATTERNS YOU CANNOT SEE FROM MEMORY Insights build as you log. Which symptoms cluster together. How your cycle length is shifting. Whether the bad nights line up with something. The longer you use it, the more it has to tell you. CYCLE TRACKING THAT EXPECTS IRREGULARITY Most period apps assume a tidy 28 day cycle and then tell you that you are late. This one does not. It expects your cycle to become unpredictable, because in perimenopause that is the point, and it tracks the variation instead of complaining about it. UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING Each symptom comes with a short, plain explanation of why it happens during perimenopause. Not a medical library, just enough to put a name to what you are feeling. A GENTLE DAILY REMINDER Set a time that suits you. The reminder skips the days you have already logged, and it is worded like a friend, not a nagging app. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything you log stays on your device and in your own private iCloud, so a new phone gets it back. No account to create, no sign up, no server of ours, no ads, nothing sold to anyone. We never see your symptoms or your notes. SYMPTOMS YOU CAN TRACK Hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, mood swings, low mood, anxiety, heart palpitations, brain fog, headache, joint pain, cramps, bloating, breast tenderness, low libido and vaginal dryness. Plus your period, from spotting to heavy, and your sleep and stress. WHO IT IS FOR Women in their late thirties, forties, and fifties who suspect perimenopause has started, who are already in it, or who are heading into menopause and want to understand their own body instead of guessing. You are not imagining it, and it has a name. SUBSCRIPTION Full access is available through a subscription with a free trial, or as a one time purchase.

MenoShift

MenoShift explains what your body is doing today โ from your symptoms, your cycle and your sleep โ in plain language, every day. Perimenopause does not follow the calendar. Cycles stretch to 40 or 60 days, sleep breaks at 3am, anxiety arrives out of nowhere. Period trackers call that an error. MenoShift calls it data. YOUR STAGE, HONESTLY Three answers โ your age, your last period, how your cycles behaved this year โ give your stage on the STRAW+10 scale doctors use, with how confident the estimate is. Hysterectomy or hormonal contraception? The app follows your symptoms instead. THE WHY, EVERY DAY A 20-second check-in scores 11 symptoms on the Menopause Rating Scale (plus brain fog, headache, weight, skin & hair). MenoShift reads today against your cycle phase, last night's sleep, your HRV and wrist temperature from Apple Health, and yesterday's triggers โ then tells you which hormone, which night or which habit explains the day, one thing to do about it, and the source. YOUR PATTERNS After 14 days the app finds your strongest links: "in 8 of 10 days after alcohol, hot flushes were above your average." Thirty nights of sleep and flushes side by side. Cycle lengths as they really are. Three-day trigger experiments with a before-and-after. A REPORT YOUR DOCTOR CAN USE Stage and what it is based on, MRS by month, cycle dates and gaps, HRT and medication timeline with its effect on your symptoms, sleep and HRV averages, five questions for the visit โ as a PDF, in your language and in English. HRT, MEDICATION, SUPPLEMENTS Log what you take and from when. See how your scores moved four weeks before and after. NEW: PROGRAMS AND BREATHING Two 14-day CBT programs โ calmer hot flushes and rebuilt sleep โ two minutes a day, first three days free. Tap โhot flush nowโ for a 60-second breathing guide. Add symptoms of your own, and let Apple Health fill in steps, weight, blood pressure and more. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads. Your entries stay on your phone, with an optional backup you control. The app sends only anonymous counts of which screens open โ never what you log. SOURCES Menopause Society 2023 position statement, NICE NG23, STRAW+10 (Harlow 2012), Menopause Rating Scale (Heinemann 2004). Information, not diagnosis: talk to your clinician about symptoms and treatment. FREE FOREVER Your stage, the daily check-in, a short daily card, seven days of history, the HRT log, reminders, 24 languages. MENOSHIFT PRO The full why every day, 90-day patterns, trigger experiments, the doctor report, HRT effect. Monthly or yearly subscription, or lifetime. Cancel any time in your App Store settings.
