Best Menopause and Perimenopause Apps in the UK (2026)

Menopause apps popular in the UK shown on a phone with NHS symptom guidance

Choosing a Menopause App in the UK

Menopause care is a live topic in the UK, and app choice often comes down to a few practical questions: is it free, does it respect my data, and will it help me get the most out of a short GP appointment? This guide answers those with UK context. Flag Apps develops Perim, one of the apps below; details checked against official pages on August 19, 2026.

A note on testing: the NHS notes menopause and perimenopause are usually diagnosed from age, symptoms, and menstrual history rather than routine blood tests, so a good symptom record is often the most useful thing you can bring to your GP.

1. Balance (Best Known in the UK)

Balance was founded by a UK menopause specialist and is widely used in Britain. Its official terms describe free symptom and mood charts, a menopause questionnaire, a period calendar, education, and a health report, with an account required.

  • Best for: free education and a GP-ready health report.
  • Trade-off: account-based storage.

2. Health & Her (UK-Based Free Toolkit)

Health & Her is another UK company; its official app page describes free symptom, trigger, and period tracking plus reminders and lifestyle tools on iOS and Android.

  • Best for: free tracking with guided lifestyle tools.
  • Trade-off: a busier interface.

3. Clue and Flo (For Existing Users)

Clue's perimenopause mode and Flo's perimenopause tools extend broad cycle apps into this stage, behind Clue Plus and Flo Premium respectively — a good fit if you already have history in either.

4. Perim (Best for Privacy)

Perim is a focused, iPhone-only tracker that keeps health-adjacent entries on the device by default, with no account. It suits UK users who want a fast, private daily check-in and a summary to show their GP.Download Perim Perimenopause Tracker on the App Store

  • Best for: private, on-device symptom tracking on iPhone.
  • Trade-off: iPhone only.

Getting the Most from Your GP

Whichever app you choose, arrive with a concise summary: your recent cycle pattern and your main symptoms with severity and impact. If your GP discusses treatment such as HRT, the NHS HRT guidance is a useful primer. For the apps compared in more depth, see our perimenopause tracker roundup, or try Perim on the App Store.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best menopause app in the UK?

Balance is the best known in the UK, founded by a British menopause specialist, with free symptom tracking, education, and a health report. Health & Her is another UK-based option with free tools. Clue and Flo suit existing users, and Perim is a private iPhone-only tracker. Choose based on privacy, cost, and whether you want education or a simple log.

Is there an NHS menopause app?

There is no single official NHS menopause app, but the NHS website provides menopause and perimenopause guidance, and some NHS services signpost symptom-tracking tools to help patients prepare for GP appointments. Any well-designed tracker that produces a clear summary supports that goal.

Are UK menopause apps free?

Several offer strong free tiers. Balance and Health & Her describe free tracking tools. Clue and Flo reserve dedicated perimenopause modes for paid plans. Check what stays free — logging, history, and any report — before committing, and read the current privacy policy.

Do I need a blood test for menopause in the UK?

Often not. NHS guidance notes menopause and perimenopause are usually diagnosed from your age, symptoms, and menstrual history rather than routine hormone blood tests, which can be misleading because levels fluctuate. A consistent symptom record is frequently more useful for your GP than a single test.
