Most menopause apps ask you to log your symptoms every day, then hand back generic advice. anna does the opposite. It reads the data your wearable already collects, explains what it means for you today, and links every tip to the research behind it. Here is the difference, laid out plainly. For the long version of how the rules are built, see the science behind anna. If you are weighing up the alternatives, we also compared ten perimenopause apps.
You log symptoms by hand, every day.
It reads the wearable data you already produce, passively.
Generic articles that may not match today.
One explained tip a day, tied to your own signals.
Take it on trust.
Every tip links to the published research behind it.
Often overpromises prediction or diagnosis.
No diagnosis, no prediction at launch. Translation, not tracking.
Sometimes the product being sold.
Never sold, never shared with advertisers. EU-hosted.
Often locked to one brand.
Connects to Apple Health, so any device that writes there works. Or your iPhone alone.
Not a symptom diary.
anna reads what your body already records, so there is nothing to log.
Not a dashboard.
Charts you have to interpret are not insight. anna gives you one clear thing.
Not a black box.
Every tip comes with its reasoning and its source.
