Menopause and perimenopause apps, sorted by what they do
App stores mix genuine tools with subscription traps, so this list sorts by what each app actually does and who is behind it. General rule worth knowing before any download: a plain cycle log — even paper — covers the single most useful function, because the record of your cycles and symptoms is what a clinician can actually work with.
Balance
Newson Health (Dr Louise Newson)
Free symptom and cycle tracker with a large content library, able to generate a summary report to bring to appointments. The report feature is the standout. Free tier covers the essentials.
Midday
Lisa Health, developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic
Symptom tracking plus structured programs, built on Mayo Clinic clinical content. Suits users who want an established medical institution behind the advice layer.
Caria
Caria Health
Tracking combined with CBT-based programs for sleep, mood and hot flashes. Suits users who want guided, program-style support rather than a passive log.
Evia
Mika Health
A structured hypnotherapy program aimed specifically at hot flashes — an approach with genuine trial evidence behind it. Narrow by design: suits users targeting vasomotor symptoms specifically.
Health & Her
Health & Her (UK)
Tracker plus expert content and reminders, UK-centric. Suits UK users who want tracking and education in one place.
Any plain cycle tracker
Clue, or a paper diary
Worth stating plainly: for the core job — a dated record of cycles and symptoms to show a clinician — a generic cycle app or a paper calendar works, costs nothing, and harvests no menopause-specific data about you.
No affiliate links, no sponsorships, and inclusion is not an endorsement of every claim an author makes — several of these disagree with each other, which is rather the point.
Also curated: books and podcasts. When you are ready for an actual appointment, search the directory.
