PregnancyBest Perimenopause Apps in 2026
Here’s the thing, we’re comparing perimenopause apps for symptom tracking, education, and support. The point is to see which ones actually help you understand and manage the transition.
Let's be upfront: Pregnancy App is a pregnancy app. We don’t offer perimenopause tracking. We don’t offer symptom management. We don’t offer menopause-related content. Our tools — hypnobirthing, contraction timer, kick counter, due date calculator — are built for pregnant women. If you're looking for perimenopause support, you need a different app.
We're writing this comparison because many women who used our app during pregnancy now search for perimenopause support years later. Rather than leaving you without guidance, here's an honest look at what's available.
Perimenopause is underserved by tech. There are hundreds of pregnancy apps. The perimenopause app space is smaller and newer. But a few apps have popped up that genuinely help women track symptoms. They can also help women understand body changes. They can help women prep for conversations with their healthcare providers.
Quick summary: Flo is the best mainstream option with its perimenopause mode inside an app you may already use. Health & Her is the best dedicated perimenopause app with expert-backed symptom tracking. Caria offers the best coaching programs for lifestyle management. MenoLife is best for simple, focused symptom logging.
Perimenopause app reviews
Flo added a dedicated perimenopause mode that acknowledges something many women's health apps ignored for years: the transition doesn't end at pregnancy. If you used Flo for period tracking or pregnancy, its perimenopause mode lets you stick with the same familiar app as your body changes.
The perimenopause features include cycle irregularity tracking (essential since unpredictable periods are a hallmark of the transition), symptom logging for hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and sleep disruption. Flo's AI provides insights about your changing patterns over time. The content library includes medically-reviewed articles about HRT, lifestyle changes, and what to expect.
Flo's advantage is scale and familiarity. With 420 million downloads, the algorithm has the largest dataset for understanding cycle changes during perimenopause. The disadvantage is that perimenopause is one mode within a much larger app — it's not the sole focus. Dedicated perimenopause apps like Health & Her go deeper into menopause-specific support.
What's good
- Familiar app many women already use
- Cycle irregularity tracking for perimenopause
- AI insights based on massive dataset
- Medically-reviewed perimenopause content
- Anonymous Mode for privacy
What's not
- Perimenopause is one mode, not the main focus
- Less depth than dedicated menopause apps
- Premium required for detailed insights
- No coaching or guided programs
Health & Her is built specifically for perimenopause and menopause. This isn’t a period tracker with a menopause mode bolted on. It’s designed from the ground up for women going through the menopausal transition. The symptom tracker covers the full range: hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, brain fog, joint pain, sleep quality, anxiety, and more.
The app provides personalized insights based on your logged symptoms, and the content library is written and reviewed by menopause specialists. There's an integrated shop for supplements and wellness products, which is either helpful or sales-y depending on your perspective. The editorial content about HRT options, lifestyle adjustments, and when to see a doctor is genuinely informative.
Health & Her's focus is its strength. Because it only serves perimenopause and menopause, every feature is designed for that audience. The symptom tracker is more comprehensive than Flo's perimenopause mode. The content goes deeper. The community features connect you with women going through the same transition.
What's good
- Built specifically for perimenopause/menopause
- Comprehensive symptom tracking (30+ symptoms)
- Expert-reviewed menopause content
- Personalized insights over time
- Community support features
What's not
- Integrated shop may feel like upselling
- Smaller user base than Flo
- Premium needed for some features
- Less useful for general health tracking
Caria (formerly Clio) takes a coaching-first approach to perimenopause. Instead of only tracking symptoms, it offers guided programs for specific challenges. Those programs cover sleep improvement. They cover stress reduction. They cover nutrition for hormonal health. They cover exercise routines adapted for the menopausal transition. Think of it as a perimenopause wellness coach in app form.
The programs are developed with healthcare professionals and based on lifestyle medicine principles. Daily check-ins track how you're feeling, and the app adjusts recommendations based on your reported symptoms and progress. It’s more hands-on than a passive symptom tracker.
Caria works best for women who want actionable guidance, not just data. If you want to track symptoms and bring a report to your doctor, Health & Her or Flo may be more appropriate. If you want daily tips, exercises, and programs to actively manage your transition, Caria fills that role. The premium tier unlocks the full program library.
What's good
- Coaching-based approach with guided programs
- Daily check-ins and personalized recommendations
- Sleep, nutrition, and exercise programs
- Developed with healthcare professionals
- Active management vs. passive tracking
What's not
- Less detailed symptom tracking than Health & Her
- Premium needed for full programs
- Smaller content library
- May not suit women who prefer data over coaching
MenoLife is a straightforward symptom tracker for perimenopause and menopause. No coaching programs, no supplement shops, no elaborate AI insights — just a clean interface for logging symptoms daily and seeing patterns over time. If you want a simple tool to bring to your next doctor's appointment, MenoLife does that without complication.
The app tracks common symptoms including hot flashes, mood changes, sleep quality, and energy levels. Reports can be generated and shared with your healthcare provider. The simplicity is both its strength and limitation — you won't find the depth of Health & Her or the coaching of Caria, but you also won't be overwhelmed or upsold.
MenoLife is free and functional. For women who just need to track and report without the extras, it's a no-frills option that respects your time.
What's good
- Simple, no-nonsense symptom tracking
- Free with no premium upsells
- Shareable reports for doctor appointments
- Clean interface, easy to use
What's not
- No coaching or guided programs
- Limited educational content
- No community features
- Basic compared to Health & Her or Caria
Why we're writing about perimenopause
We're a pregnancy app company writing about perimenopause, which might seem odd. Here's why.
Many of our users first downloaded ZenPregnancy during their pregnancies years ago. As they move through different life stages, they search for the same kind of honest, practical app guidance that helped them during pregnancy. We'd rather provide a genuinely useful comparison than ignore the question or stretch our app into something it isn't.
Pregnancy App does not help with perimenopause. Our meditation techniques are designed for pregnancy anxiety and birth preparation, not hormonal transition support. Our tools — contraction timer, kick counter, due date calculator — are irrelevant to perimenopause. We're being honest about this because trust matters more than a page view.
If you're experiencing perimenopause symptoms, the apps listed above are your best starting point. And if you have a daughter, friend, or colleague who's pregnant, we're still here for that with hypnobirthing meditations and free pregnancy tracking tools.
Limitations & disclosure
PregnancyApp.com is operated by Pregnancy App, the developers of ZenPregnancy and Contraction Timer. Neither app is designed for perimenopause. This comparison is intended to help visitors find appropriate perimenopause support tools.
Perimenopause apps are tracking and education tools. They are not medical devices. They can’t diagnose perimenopause. They can’t prescribe HRT. They can’t replace a consultation with a healthcare provider. Symptoms like irregular periods can have many causes beyond perimenopause and should be evaluated by a doctor.
If you’re having severe symptoms, seek medical attention. Persistent heavy bleeding is a reason to get checked. Extreme mood changes are a reason to get checked. Symptoms that significantly impact your daily life are a reason to get checked. Don’t rely on an app to manage severe symptoms.
These ratings come from the Apple App Store and Google Play, as of early 2026. App features and availability may have changed.
