5 Best Menopause Apps for Symptoms and Support (2026)

How We Compared These Menopause Apps

Flag Apps develops Perim, one of the apps in this guide, so the same published criteria are applied to every app: symptom coverage, speed of daily logging, education and reporting, platform, current free-versus-paid model, and privacy. This is an editorial comparison based on official product information checked on August 16, 2026, not a clinical ranking. The ACOG Menopause Symptom Tracker is the baseline for useful coverage.

"Menopause" here spans perimenopause, menopause, and the years after periods stop. ACOG's overview of the menopause years is a useful primer on the stages and their symptoms.

Quick Comparison

• Perim: best for private, fast symptom check-ins on iPhone; entries stay on the device by default.
• Balance: best for free symptom charts, a period calendar, a health report, and a large education library; an account is required.
• Health & Her: best for a free iOS-and-Android mix of symptom logging, reminders, and lifestyle tools.
• Clue: best for people who already have cycle history and want an adaptive mode; part of Clue Plus.
• Flo: best for current Flo users who want broad tracking plus premium menopause guidance.

1. Perim (Best for Privacy and Simplicity)

Perim focuses on the symptoms that dominate the menopause transition: hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, movement, and nutrition, logged in a roughly 30-second daily check-in with weekly and monthly reviews.

• Best for: fast daily tracking with on-device privacy.
• Privacy model: health-adjacent entries stay on the device by default; no ads, no data brokers, no model training on health history.
• Availability: iPhone; see the current Perim App Store listing.
• Trade-off: iPhone only, with no Android or shared cloud account.

2. Balance (Best for Free Reports and Education)

Balance combines a health journal, menopause questionnaire, symptom and mood charts, a period calendar, education, and a health report. Its official terms list these among free services and state that an account is required.

• Best for: education plus a report-oriented symptom record.
• Availability: iOS and Android.
• Trade-off: account-based storage and a content-rich interface.

3. Health & Her (Best Free Habit Toolkit)

Health & Her pairs symptom, trigger, and period logging with reminders, insights, and tools such as pelvic-floor training, meditation, and CBT. Its official app page describes it as free on iOS and Android.

• Best for: tracking tied to reminders and guided lifestyle tools.
• Trade-off: a busier interface than a minimal check-in app.

4. Clue (Best for Existing Cycle History)

Clue adapts its cycle view to changing cycle lengths and adds hot flash, mood, and sleep tracking. Its support page states the perimenopause mode and premium categories are part of Clue Plus.

• Best for: preserving cycle history into the menopause transition.
• Paid model: the dedicated mode requires Clue Plus.

5. Flo (Best for Current Flo Users)

Flo adds dedicated support for this stage; its May 2026 announcement says the doctor-backed tools are available to Flo Premium users.

• Best for: existing Flo users who want to keep their history.
• Paid model: the dedicated tools are Flo Premium features.

Tracking After Your Periods Stop

Menopause is generally marked as 12 consecutive months without a period, but symptoms often continue well beyond that point. A symptom app still earns its place after periods stop — see our guide to menopause tracking after periods stop for what to log when cycle prediction no longer applies.

Any unexpected bleeding after menopause should be reported to a clinician; ACOG's abnormal uterine bleeding guidance treats it as a reason for evaluation.

The Bottom Line

There is no universal best menopause app. Balance and Health & Her offer strong free toolkits; Clue and Flo suit existing users; Perim is the focused choice for fast, private, on-device iPhone check-ins. If that matches your priorities, review Perim on the App Store, or compare the perimenopause-specific options in our tracker roundup.
