Liora vs. MenoLife (MenoLabs)
Supplement-focused free symptom tracker vs. an independent, subscription-funded symptom journal
- Category: Supplement companion
- HQ: Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
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.

Where each platform excels
An honest comparison grounded in user workflows, clinical architecture, and verified product capabilities.
Where Liora stands out
Complete commercial independence and objectivity
MenoLife was created by a supplement company (later acquired by Dr. Reddy Laboratories) as a sales funnel for its proprietary probiotics and vitamins. Liora is funded by subscriptions, so the app has nothing to sell you beyond the membership.
Apple Health readings, read-only
MenoLife relies purely on manual user surveys. With your permission, Liora reads sleep duration, heart-rate variability (HRV), steps, activity and weight from Apple Health and shows them beside your records.
A clean one-page appointment brief
Doctors often disregard app exports that feature commercial supplement branding. Liora prepares a single page around your question and the records you choose.
Where MenoLife stands out
100% free app access
MenoLife requires no paid software subscription. Users can track symptoms and participate in community groups without entering credit card information.
Integrated supplement management
For users who take MenoLabs probiotics like MenoGlow or Well-Being, the app provides convenient tracking and direct reordering.

Switching from MenoLife to Liora
If you want to keep your own records without commercial supplement pitches, Liora gives you an independent, subscription-funded journal.
What changes
- You will no longer see supplement ads, upsell prompts, or commercial product recommendations in your tracking flow.
- With your permission, sleep, HRV and activity readings come from Apple Health.
- Field Notes describe your records with their evidence, and you can prepare a one-page brief for your doctor.
What to plan for
- Liora requires an active subscription ($59.99/yr or $8.99/mo) after a 7-day free trial. The subscription is how Liora is funded.
- You can keep taking your supplements and add them as treatments with start dates; Liora shows descriptive before-and-after comparisons, not treatment effects.

Liora vs. MenoLife FAQ
Answers to common questions about switching, data privacy, and feature differences.
Why does MenoLife offer its app for free while Liora charges a subscription?
MenoLife is owned by a supplement manufacturer and uses its app to market and sell proprietary probiotics and vitamins. Liora has no third-party ads and sells no supplements. It is funded by a subscription and never sells your data.
Can I track my supplements in Liora?
Yes. Add supplements or treatments, such as magnesium or HRT, with their start and stop dates. Journal keeps those dates beside your check-ins, and Liora shows descriptive before-and-after comparisons. They describe what your records show, not whether a supplement works.
