MenoShift: Perimenopause

MenoShift explains what your body is doing today — from your symptoms, your cycle and your sleep — in plain language, every day.

Perimenopause does not follow the calendar. Cycles stretch to 40 or 60 days, sleep breaks at 3am, anxiety arrives out of nowhere. Period trackers call that an error. MenoShift calls it data.

YOUR STAGE, HONESTLY Three answers — your age, your last period, how your cycles behaved this year — give your stage on the STRAW+10 scale doctors use, with how confident the estimate is. Hysterectomy or hormonal contraception? The app follows your symptoms instead.

THE WHY, EVERY DAY A 20-second check-in scores 11 symptoms on the Menopause Rating Scale (plus brain fog, headache, weight, skin & hair). MenoShift reads today against your cycle phase, last night's sleep, your HRV and wrist temperature from Apple Health, and yesterday's triggers — then tells you which hormone, which night or which habit explains the day, one thing to do about it, and the source.

YOUR PATTERNS After 14 days the app finds your strongest links: "in 8 of 10 days after alcohol, hot flushes were above your average." Thirty nights of sleep and flushes side by side. Cycle lengths as they really are. Three-day trigger experiments with a before-and-after.

A REPORT YOUR DOCTOR CAN USE Stage and what it is based on, MRS by month, cycle dates and gaps, HRT and medication timeline with its effect on your symptoms, sleep and HRV averages, five questions for the visit — as a PDF, in your language and in English.

HRT, MEDICATION, SUPPLEMENTS Log what you take and from when. See how your scores moved four weeks before and after.

NEW: PROGRAMS AND BREATHING Two 14-day CBT programs – calmer hot flushes and rebuilt sleep – two minutes a day, first three days free. Tap “hot flush now” for a 60-second breathing guide. Add symptoms of your own, and let Apple Health fill in steps, weight, blood pressure and more.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads. Your entries stay on your phone, with an optional backup you control. The app sends only anonymous counts of which screens open – never what you log.
