The PMS and PMDD app for anger, anxiety and mood swings.

When you feel angry, tearful or anxious before your period, tell Niyora what happened, out loud or in writing. It helps you feel calmer, see things another way, and choose words you’ll feel good about later.

Moon answering out loud: “That anger coming out over the dishes sounds really frustrating. Let’s look at this from a few sides.”A Niyora swipe card over the northern lights: “Another way to see it. Could it be he typed it fast without thinking how blunt it would sound?”A Niyora swipe card over a mountain lake: “Another way to see it. Maybe your boss felt rushed and spoke without thinking about the audience.”A Niyora swipe card over a dusk sky: “Another way to see it. Maybe she hates seeing you struggle, so she rushes to make it sound small.”A Niyora swipe card over a misty forest: “Another way to see it. Could it be that something overwhelmed them today, rather than a lack of care?”
  • “I snapped at him over the dishes and I don’t even know why.”
  • “He just wrote ok. Nothing else.”
  • “My boss criticised my report in front of the whole team.”
  • “Mum said it can’t be that bad, and I just hung up on her.”
  • “My best friend cancelled on me again, last minute.”

Patterns

Understand your PMS triggers and patterns

Every moment you save, written or spoken, adds to your patterns: the feelings that came up, what they were about, and how quickly you calmed down. After a few cycles you can see what sets you off and when it starts, so you can plan around your PMS window and show your doctor what your month looks like.

What changes

Catch it before you send it

We read 737 Reddit posts from people with PMS and PMDD. The most common wish was a way to catch the spiral in the moment, before the message, the fight or the email. That’s what Niyora is for.

Wow. Ok. I pour my heart out and that’s all I get? Don’t bother.

Another way to see it, and an hour before replying

Is that a tired ok or an upset ok? Either is fine, I just want to check in on you.

A colleague took credit for her idea

About to send

Please accept this email as my resignation, effective immediately.

A no-big-decisions-this-week rule

I’d like to talk about how ideas get credited in our meetings. Do you have ten minutes tomorrow?

Mum said “it can’t be that bad”

About to send

You have no idea what I’m dealing with. Forget it.

A breath, and words that keep the door open

Sent instead

It is that bad for me this week, even if it doesn’t look like it. Could we talk about it next week, when I’m feeling better?

Predict

Know when your PMS days are coming

Log your period or connect Apple Health. Niyora learns your cycle and shows when your PMS days are likely, so they don’t catch you off guard.

    Predicted from your own cycles, not an average.

    A gentle reminder before it starts.

Why it happens

Your hormones are normal. Your brain feels the shift more.

How the week before your period feels comes down to how strongly your brain responds to the normal rise and fall of your hormones. Your levels are usually the same as anyone else’s.

FAQ

Questions about Niyora

All questions
What is Niyora? +

Niyora is a PMS and PMDD app for the days before your period. You tell it what happened, swipe through ways to calm down and see it differently, and decide what to say or do next. It also predicts your PMS days from your cycle and shows your patterns over time.

Is Niyora for PMS or PMDD? +

Both. Niyora helps with the emotional side of the days before a period: anger, crying, anxiety, low mood and conflict. People with PMDD use it alongside their care. It is not a diagnosis or a treatment, and it does not replace a doctor.

Is Niyora free? +

Yes. Niyora is free to download and use, with no account. The cycle calendar, your patterns, the cycle report and five Moon moments a month are free. Premium removes the limit on Moon for $29.99 a year, with 7 days free first, or $8.99 a month.

Is it real, or is it the PMDD talking? +

Often both. The feeling is real, and PMS or PMDD turns up its volume. Niyora helps you hold off on big decisions and messages until you can see the difference, and shows you if the same thought keeps coming back on the same days each cycle.

Does Niyora work if my cycle is irregular? +

Yes. The help in the moment works on any day. Cycle predictions get better the more periods you log, and you can open Moon whenever you need it, whatever the calendar says.

Does Niyora replace therapy or medication? +

No. Niyora is for the moment itself: the text, the fight, the 3am spiral. Many people use it alongside therapy, SSRIs or other treatment, and the cycle report helps you show your doctor what your month looks like.

Can my partner see what I write? +

No. There is no account, and your entries are stored encrypted on your phone. Your partner sees nothing unless you choose to share a message or report yourself.

Is Niyora on Android? +

Niyora is on iPhone today. Android is coming soon.

Does Niyora need an account? +

No. There is no sign-up, no email and no login. Your moments stay encrypted on your phone, and your cycle history is kept there too.

Does my data train AI? +

No. Email addresses, phone numbers and names the app can spot are replaced on your phone before what you type reaches Moon’s AI, and the AI provider is contractually barred from training on what you write.

How is Niyora different from a period tracker? +

A period tracker tells you where you are in your cycle. Niyora helps with what happens next: when you’re angry, crying or anxious, it helps you calm down, see it differently and decide what to say. Many people use both.

Can I use Niyora with ChatGPT? +

You can, but ChatGPT starts from scratch every time. Niyora knows your cycle, your past moments and what has helped you before, and every idea shows where it comes from.
