Essence App

Essence is an app for women and people with menstrual cycles that organizes tasks, fitness, nutrition and work around the phases of the cycle. It combines a period tracker with a to do list, so a user can schedule demanding work, networking, rest and reflection for the phases the app associates with them: follicular, ovulation, luteal and menstrual. It is offered both to individuals and to employers as a digital employee benefit. The app includes tools for PMS, period pain and anxiety, along with daily and weekly insights on fitness, nutrition and work routines, and the vendor describes it as AI powered. For companies, Essence pairs the app with menstrual health workshops, aimed at an inclusive workplace and better staff retention. Pricing is not published. Employers can book a demo, and existing users sign in through a login link on the site. The vendor cites research on how the cycle affects productivity, creative thinking, memory, exercise performance, energy, sleep and mood, and says its inclusive wording covers all menstruating people, including gender non conforming and LGBTQ+ individuals.
