What changed in Liora since September 18?
These are the capabilities in the released iPhone app. Liora is our app; this is a product update, not an independent ranking or a claim that other apps lack these features.
Whole check-ins, at the time they happened
Choose from 47 symptoms, rate each from 1 to 5 and add one note, or record No symptoms to report. Keep up to five priorities first. Record several check-ins a day, now or later, with travel time zones and approximate periods preserved. Interrupted drafts are kept, and check-ins save offline before syncing.
A Journal you can correct
Browse a timeline, calendar and day details, including records from earlier app versions. Correct or delete a whole check-in. Conflicting edits ask for review rather than silently replacing another edit. Daily factors are separate records of context such as caffeine, alcohol and travel.
Field Notes with an inspectable history
See the period, dated evidence and limits behind an observation. Sparse records stay sparse and unrecorded days stay unknown. Corrections and source deletions can revise or withdraw a finding. Dismiss a note from Check-in while keeping it in Insights. Apple Health access is read-only: sleep duration, daily-average HRV, steps, active energy and weight.
Treatments and stage context
Record treatments, supplements and lifestyle changes with start and stop dates. With enough recorded days, compare the 60 days before a start with records since; these are observations, not treatment effects. The Horizon map supports natural cycles, surgical and induced menopause, irregular cycles and no periods. Period tracking is optional.
Sleep questions with separate choices
Choose saved check-ins, Apple Health sleep readings, individual private notes and AI wording separately for each question. AI wording starts off. If enabled, your question, permitted evidence, chosen notes and approved summary are sent to Anthropic; Liora does not add your name or email. Review, edit or remove the saved summary. Medication, diagnosis and urgent messages receive fixed safety guidance.
Appointment prep and account controls
Write your clinician question, choose up to three records, decide which notes and optional context to include, then preview a one-page PDF before sharing. Profile includes reminders, appearance, data export and account deletion. Larger text, VoiceOver labels and Reduce Motion are supported.
Field Note and Baseline Reflection wording uses AI services on derived summaries. The per-question AI choice above applies specifically to Ask about your sleep. Read our privacy policy for processing and retention details.
Publisher references: Flo advertising policy, Balance tracking and Health Report, Clue Perimenopause, and Bearable health integration. These sources support the specific features they describe; they are not a benchmark of every capability.

Menopause app comparison FAQ
Frequently asked questions about app features, wearable telemetry, and medical consultation prep.
How do perimenopause apps differ from standard period trackers?
Standard period trackers (like regular Flo or Clue) are architected around predictable 28-day menstrual cycles, ovulation windows, and fertility. In perimenopause, cycles become erratic and hormone fluctuations cause sleep fragmentation, vasomotor disruption, and cognitive changes. Dedicated perimenopause apps focus on multi-system symptom tracking, sleep, and transition staging rather than predicting ovulation.
Which menopause app has the best Apple Health integration?
With your permission, Liora reads sleep duration, heart-rate variability (HRV), steps, active energy and weight from Apple Health. Access is read-only, and readings appear beside your records with their source. Incumbents like Balance, MenoLife, and Perry have no wearable integration and require manual data entry.
What is the best menopause app for surgical or induced menopause?
Liora offers surgical menopause, induced menopause, no periods and not sure yet as equal choices from the first screen, and it does not need a last menstrual period to work. Your stage can change as your understanding changes.
Are free menopause apps truly free?
Funding differs by app. Balance offers free tracking and a Health Report alongside balance+ subscriptions. Other apps offer paid tiers or product sales. Check each current plan and privacy policy. Liora is subscription-funded, has no third-party ads and never sells your data.
Can any menopause app diagnose medical conditions?
No. Menopause apps are companion software tools, not diagnostic medical devices. Liora describes what your records show as associations rather than causes, and answers medication, diagnosis or crisis messages with fixed safety text instead of AI. Always consult a qualified clinician regarding diagnosis or medical treatments.
