Comparisons
The category clusters tightly on price and splits on purpose. Consumer trackers sit at roughly $40–50 a year, so price is not how you choose. The genuine gap is that almost nothing models HRT as a regimen — dose, formulation, change dates — rather than as a tick on a day.
Two things worth checking in any app you choose
Privacy. A 2023 systematic review of 28 UK menopause apps found 32 percent indicated third-party data sharing. Read the privacy policy, not the landing page.
Whether it produces anything a clinician can use. The same review found most apps lacked any mechanism for sharing data with a provider or exporting structured records — which is odd, given that preparing for appointments is a main reason people track.
About HormoneLog
HormoneLog is an iOS app from Baker Ventures LLC for tracking perimenopause and menopause symptoms and keeping an HRT record: what you took, at what dose, from when, and what changed afterwards. It is built for the appointment, where "it has been bad lately" is worth far less than a dated record of frequency and severity. The app is in development.
HormoneLog is a record-keeping tool. It does not diagnose, does not score you, and makes no claim about symptom relief. The guides on this site link to NICE, the NHS, the Menopause Society and peer-reviewed sources, and say plainly where the evidence is thin. Everything here is free and needs no account.
