Optional encrypted cloud backup and sync across devices.

Always free. Private by design - Your entries are stored on your device by default. We will never sell your data, and there are no advertising trackers. No account needed to use the app. Export or delete everything anytime. Built to be kind Built to be kind - Gentle reminders, calm visuals, and language that doesn't judge.

β€œIs this menopause?” β€” start by writing it down. Yuragi Note lets you log the physical and mental ups and downs of menopause in one tap and see the trend on a chart. Every feature is free, and your records stay on your device. β–  A 10-item check based on the SMI Score the ten symptoms of the Simplified Menopausal Index (SMI), widely used in Japanese gynecology β€” hot flashes, sweating, chills, shortness of breath, poor sleep, irritability, low mood, headache or dizziness, fatigue, joint pain β€” each on four levels. Your total score and a reference range appear instantly. β–  Charts that make the wave visible Daily scores are plotted month by month. Seeing the wave next to your daily life helps you find your own pattern. β–  Voice notes On days when typing feels like too much, just speak β€” dictation turns your thoughts into a note. β–  Health metrics in the same place View sleep, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and wrist temperature (with Apple Watch) from the Health app alongside your symptom log (read-only). On supported setups the app can pre-draft today's entry from those metrics. β–  Monthly summary and a visit-prep memo The app compiles your month into a simple summary and a memo you can bring to your gynecologist β€” all generated on your device. β–  Privacy first - All records stay on your device; there is no developer server - No account required - The developer never collects your entries β–  About ads A small banner appears at the bottom. A one-time β€œRemove Ads” purchase ($0.99, no auto-renewal) hides it forever. No feature limits either way, and no subscriptions. β–  Important This app is a self-care recording tool, not a medical device. The SMI score is a reference for your records only; the app does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. Consult a medical professional about any health concerns.
