PeriWise is a private companion for perimenopause and menopause. Track how you actually feel — hot flushes, sleep, mood, brain fog, joint pain and more — and watch the patterns emerge over weeks and months. When you next see your doctor, bring a clear PDF summary instead of trying to remember. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE No account. No sign-up. No server. No tracking. No ads. Your entries live in an encrypted database on your device, and PeriWise has no way to read them. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Log symptoms in seconds, with the six that matter most to you on the home screen • Track your cycle — period days on the calendar, and an estimate of when the next may start • Record medication and supplements, with reminders scheduled on device • Note measurements including weight, blood pressure and blood sugar • Connect your Oura Ring or Apple Watch — nightly temperature, sleep, heart rate and stress land on the same charts as your symptoms • See trends and connections across symptoms, sleep and mood • Read plain-language guidance on what is happening and why • Create a doctor-ready PDF report — always free • Log from your Apple Watch when your iPhone is not to hand • Lock the app with Face ID • Export and import your data if you change device ABOUT THE CYCLE ESTIMATE Perimenopausal cycles are irregular by nature. The estimate is for orientation only. It is not a contraceptive method and must not be used to prevent or plan a pregnancy. SUBSCRIPTION PeriWise is free to download — and logging is free forever: symptoms, cycle, medications, measurements, Apple Health and Oura sync, and the doctor-ready PDF report. PeriWise Premium, €1.49 per month or the equivalent in your local currency, unlocks personal insights and the 30- and 90-day trend views. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

Menopause Tracker

Somewhere in your 40s, your body starts rewriting its own rules. Sleep breaks at 3 a.m. A wave of heat arrives mid-meeting. Your cycle stops keeping its own schedule, and your memory misplaces a word it has known for decades. None of this is unusual — but it is far easier to navigate when you can see what is actually happening. Menolyn is a perimenopause and menopause symptom journal built for exactly that: log what you feel in seconds, watch the patterns emerge, and walk into your next appointment with real data instead of vague recollections. FREE FOREVER • Log symptoms as individual episodes, with the time of day — not just a daily checkbox • Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, brain fog, cycle changes — 29 built-in symptoms in all • Add your own custom symptoms and free-text notes — your list is never locked • Calendar view of your history, with period and spotting markers if you still cycle • Track medications or HRT if you choose to — neutrally, with zero promotion • Export everything to CSV at any time. Your data is yours. EPISODES, NOT CHECKBOXES Most trackers let you tick "hot flash: yes" once a day. But hot flashes don't happen once a day — they happen at 2 p.m. in a meeting and again at 3 a.m. Menolyn records each episode with its time, intensity and optional triggers (caffeine, alcohol, stress, spicy food and more), so your patterns actually have something to show. A REPORT YOUR DOCTOR CAN USE Menolyn Plus generates a clean, one-page PDF summary of your last three months: symptom frequencies, hot-flash time-of-day pattern, sleep trend, and your current medication log. Bring it to your appointment and spend the visit talking, not remembering. CUSTOM WIDGETS & APPLE WATCH Choose widgets with 1, 4 or 8 quick actions. Set each action to log straight away or ask each time; frequent-action suggestions help you set them up, and Undo reverses a mistaken tap. On Apple Watch, Menolyn supports quick symptom logging; statistics stay on your phone. Chosen widget setups sync only through your iCloud account. Widget configuration and the symptom catalog are shared with your paired watch; watch entries return to your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Diary entries and notes are stored on your phone. On Apple devices, chosen widget setups sync only through your iCloud account; widget configuration and the symptom catalog are shared with your paired Apple Watch, and entries logged on the watch return to your phone. No Menolyn account or ads. MENOLYN PLUS The essentials above are free forever. Menolyn Plus adds: • Insights & patterns: weekly trends, time-of-day heatmaps, trigger correlations, sleep vs. symptoms • The doctor-report PDF • Medication and HRT reminders $39.99/year after a 7-day free trial, or $5.99/month. Prices may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically — including at the end of a free trial — unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your account settings. A NOTE ON WHAT MENOLYN IS Menolyn is a tracking journal, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and it makes no claim to relieve symptoms — and it never replaces professional care. It simply helps you notice and describe what you experience, and share it clearly with the people who can help.
