The short guide
How to use Talira.
Five screens, a few taps a day. This guide shows you each one. Nothing here is complicated, and nothing you do is wrong.
What it is
A private notebook for your body.
You write down what happened — your period, how you slept, how you felt. Talira keeps it, organises it, and shows you the pattern over months.
Three things it will never do: give you a due date for your period, tell you what is wrong with you, or send what you record anywhere unless you choose to back it up, export it or share it.
You cannot break it. Every entry can be changed or deleted. Skipping days is fine. There are no streaks and no scores.
The five tabs
Everything lives in one of five places.
Most days you only need Today. The rest is there when you want it. Today, Calendar and Me are always free; Picture, Rhythm and the Visit Kit are part of Talira Plus, the subscription — your first month of Plus is free.
First time
Setting up takes a minute.
- Confirm you are 18 or overTalira is built for adults. The same screen asks you to agree to the Terms and to let Talira keep your notes on this phone — and, if you want, your lab results.
- Start loggingThat is it. Today opens, with a few small first steps to try.
- Fill in a few basicsWhen you are ready: your age, the age you got your first period, and any medicines you take, in Me › Settings & profile. These matter — they change how Talira counts your cycles and marks your entries. Add the month you started each medicine if you know it.
- Answer the safety questionsPregnancy, insulin, fertility treatment and a few more, in Me › Quick periodic review. Tick anything true. Nothing is judged. Talira switches off the features that are not designed for those circumstances, and keeps the rest. It checks in again about every 90 days.
Tab 1 · Today
Write down your day.
This is where you start, and the only screen you need most days.
Tap a row to add something. Cycle for your period. Signs for skin, hair, cramps. Metabolic for a test result or a home glucose reading. Under More: sleep, how you feel, dinner time and weight, and Add lab values for a value from any report. Undo inside the same sheet.
Small charts of what you have logged, so you can see it adding up.
Notes that appear when your record calls for them. Each is general information, never a verdict about you; a few say when to see a doctor.
A few daily tiles from Rhythm and Picture sit on Today too — Movement today, Good morning with your wake anchor, and your skin and hair routine. Without Talira Plus they are simply not shown. Today’s protein idea is there for everyone: with Talira Plus, a meal idea for your next meal; without it, a protein food for the day, with a padlock on its link to breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas.
Everything is optional. One entry makes it a logged day.
A good place to start. For the first seven days a card near the top offers three suggestions — no checklist and no count. Each is optional; one you have done shows a quiet ✓. Not now hides the card, and it leaves by itself once all three are done.
- Add your last periodEven one date starts your cycle picture today, instead of waiting weeks. Have several past dates? There is a link to add them all at once.
- Note today's mood or a symptomOne tap. This is the habit everything else is built on.
- Skin, hair or a report — whenever usefulA skin or hair note, or a value from a report, whenever you have one. There is no hurry.
Beneath them, until you have a copy, a line reads Keep your record safe: it opens the backup, so you have a copy to restore if you lose or change your phone.
Tab 2 · Calendar
Look back, or fill in a day you missed.
A month at a time. Filled days are period days. Tap any day — today or three weeks ago — and add or change anything.
Below the month. Tap it, then tap the first day of your period and the last — everything between is marked. Tap a stretch that is already marked and it clears instead. Handy for the days you did not have your phone. Cancel backs out.
The amber button. Tell Talira when you started or stopped the pill, or when a progesterone course ran — dates here; in Settings & profile a start month is enough. Then the calendar shows those weeks as pill or progesterone weeks, and does not count those bleeds as your own cycles.
At the bottom of the Calendar, a folded note says: Talira gives no due date for your period — not for contraception or conception. Open it for the reason: cycle timing in PCOS/PMOS is often irregular, so Talira shows your logged history rather than a forecast, and the optional period prep tile is an estimate from the cycle lengths you logged, and is often off. There is no expected date and no countdown — the calendar shows what happened. Got it puts the note away for good.
If you want one, a period prep tile — off until you turn it on — uses only the cycle lengths you logged to show how many of your recent cycles had started by this day, and the span of dates those lengths cover, for everyday things like supplies or travel. It is labelled as an estimate — with PCOS/PMOS it is often off — and has nothing to do with fertility.
Why the pill dates matter. On the pill, the bleed in your break week is caused by the medicine, not by your own cycle. If Talira does not know you are on it, it counts those as normal periods and your pattern looks tidier than it is. Tell it the dates once and it keeps them separate — shown on the calendar, kept out of your cycle figures, and explained on your doctor page.
Same for a progesterone course. Bleeding after one is brought on by the medicine too.
Tab 3 · Picture · Talira Plus · 1 month free
The pattern, once there is one.
This is where months of small entries turn into something you can see. It builds itself — you do not have to do anything here. The chips at the top open the part you tap and fold the others away.
Your recent finished cycles as bars, by how long they were — the last eight at the top, the last twelve months under Cycles. You see the spread at a glance.
What you have been noticing, counted by month.
Blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure and waist, when you have added them, with their dates. Never marked good or bad.
Cycles and periods, skin and hair, body and metabolism. Tap one for a short page on that area. When a medicine such as spironolactone affects an area, it says Paused while on a medicine.
Adjusting to a medicine change lists the medicines you changed, with their dates, and marks your entries from before and after each change so you and your doctor can look at them side by side. While you are on … shows what each medicine affects in your record, with the general research timing for each. Neither says whether a medicine is working.
Questions worth asking your doctor, drawn from your record — not conclusions. Tap Add to keep one.
The page for your doctor. Tap the Visit Kit chip at the top to jump to it, then Open Visit Kit. More under For appointments, below.
Tab 4 · Rhythm · Talira Plus · 1 month free
One small thing a day. Or nothing.
Four ordinary habits, held loosely: some protein, a little movement, meals at easy times, steadier sleep. Meal ideas come from the food you already cook.
Nothing is scored. A quiet week changes nothing that came before it. You can pause it, or switch it off entirely, from the bottom of this screen.
If you feel unwell, stop. And if you told Talira about insulin, pregnancy or breastfeeding, Rhythm pauses along with the app’s other personalised summaries; a hard time with food pauses it too, on a gentle, low-pressure page. On a GLP-1 or weight medicine, the weight and meal-time prompts on Today rest.
Getting the most out of Strength
This is the part of Rhythm that is easiest to overdo, and the easiest to get wrong by trying too hard. Here is how it actually works.
Each day Rhythm offers three easy moves, in turn — sit-to-stand from a chair, heel raises at the counter, a wall push-up, a glute bridge, a standing march and a few others. Each one of these is a complete session. You do not have to do them all.
Tap a move and the day counts. That is the whole record. Two minutes counts. Three sit-to-stands while the chai brews counts.
The bar chart shows one bar a week against a light band — two or more days a week. The band is a reference, not a target, and a quiet week changes nothing that came before it.
Talira watches your own last session, not the calendar. Do some today and tomorrow it offers rest; leave two days and it offers a session again. It fits round you.
A home strength path, linked under Today’s movement, has three stages, from a chair and a wall up to squats and stairs. Stay in one stage as long as you want. Moving up — or back — is always your choice.
Why this one matters. Muscle is one of the main places the sugar from a meal goes. Strength is good for everyday energy and for feeling able in your own body, and it is something you build yourself.
It is also slow. Two clocks on the Rhythm screen fill at two speeds: a short walk after a meal counts that same day, while strength days add up over weeks.
Before you start, if you have a heart condition, eye problems from diabetes, bad joints, or take anything that can lower your blood sugar, ask your doctor first. Warm up with a few minutes of easy walking. Breathe throughout — never hold your breath. Stop for the day if anything hurts, or you feel dizzy or unusually breathless.
On a period day, or a day you have marked low, Talira offers rest instead and says resting is just as valid a choice.
Tab 5 · Me
Your settings, your medicines, your stage.
Your age, the age you got your first period, your medicines and their dates, and pregnancy status. Keep this up to date — it changes how Talira counts your cycles and marks your entries. The region for your meal ideas is set in Rhythm.
Says plainly whether your recent cycles can be compared with your earlier ones, and why not when they cannot.
Where you are on the long arc — early years, reproductive, midlife, later — and what usually matters at that point.
About every 90 days, a quick check that nothing has changed — and the safety questions, if something has.
Each medicine’s start and change dates, its change history, and its safety notes. The general research timing for each medicine is shown on Picture.
Five steps worth talking through with a doctor, the same for everyone. You mark each one done yourself; nothing ticks itself. A checklist, not a score.
This guide, inside the app, with a sketch of every screen; and short reads on how your cycles, skin and metabolism relate, with health words in plain language.
Backups, a PIN, and deleting everything — under Open privacy & data.
For appointments · Talira Plus · 1 month free
One page to hand to your doctor.
Open it from Picture › Visit Kit. Talira builds it from what you have logged — your cycles, your medicines with dates, the test results you added exactly as you typed them, and the questions you saved.
Share it as a file or as text, or just show it from your phone.
Tap Add on a question Talira suggests, or Add to Visit Kit on a card, and reword any of them in your own words. Star the important ones — they come first.
Save what was said in your own words — saving a visit note is free. Today brings it back, and your next summary carries it forward.
Notes you might see
Sometimes Talira says something.
A few small cards appear when your own record calls for them. Each is general information, never a verdict about you — including the one that appears if you log heavy bleeding several days in a row, which says when to see a doctor straight away. Most can be put away with a tap; the rest step back on their own.
More than about three months without a period, before menopause. It explains why that is worth mentioning.
After you record a start, stop or dose change, Today says so and explains that some things take weeks or months to adjust, so your entries from before and after the change are marked.
A progesterone result saved without its cycle day or draw date, or a 17-OHP result without its draw time, with the one tap that adds it — or a note for your doctor instead.
A short, general explanation drawn from what you have been logging. Never a verdict about you.
Once there is a record worth protecting, a reminder to keep a copy.
On a day you mark low, weight and meal-time prompts rest, and food ideas in Rhythm rest for a few days. When the past two weeks have been heavy, a line at the foot of Today offers a calmer space. Nothing is lost.
Keeping it safe
Nobody else has a copy. So make one.
Renyra keeps no server copy of your record. It lives on your phone, and leaves it only as a backup or export you choose to make. That is the point — but it means if the phone goes without a backup, the record goes with it.
- Make a backupMe › Preferences & privacy › Open privacy & data › Back up — encrypted. Pick a password you will remember, then save the file wherever you keep things. Without the password nobody can open it, including Talira.
- Add a PIN, if you likeFour digits, so a phone left on a table does not open the app.
- New phone?Install Talira, go through the welcome screen, then Me › Preferences & privacy › Open privacy & data › Restore from a backup, and enter your password.
Talira will remind you about backups once you have a record worth protecting. It is not nagging — it is the one thing it genuinely cannot do for you.
What it will never do
The short list.
- Give a due date for your next period (the optional prep span is an estimate from your own past lengths, and is often off)
- Mark a fertile window, or say whether you ovulated
- Say whether you have PCOS/PMOS, or any condition
- Call a test result normal or abnormal
- Score you, rank you, or keep a streak
- Set a weight, calorie or fasting target
- Send what you record anywhere unless you choose to back it up, export it or share it
Where there is something worth knowing, Talira says it plainly and leaves the reading to your doctor.
Questions
Things people ask.
- I missed a few days. Have I ruined it?
- No. Fill them in from the Calendar if you like, or leave them. A gap is just a gap.
- I can't see a card someone told me about.
- Most cards only appear when your record calls for them — some need a few finished cycles first, and some may never appear if their conditions are never met. A few daily tiles on Today — Movement today, Good morning and the skin and hair routine — come with Talira Plus. Today’s protein idea is there for everyone — a protein food for the day, or with Talira Plus a meal idea.
- Why isn't one of my cycles counted?
- Bleeds that a medicine brings on — like the pill's break week — are shown but kept separate, so they don't get mixed in with your own cycles. Check the pill and progesterone dates on the Calendar, and your other medicines in Me.
- Where do I get Talira?
- From Google Play on Android phones. On iPhone, it is coming soon to the App Store. There is no website version: your record lives in the app on your phone, so logging works without a connection.
- Can my doctor see my record?
- Only what you show or send. The Visit Kit, part of Talira Plus, is made for exactly that, and exporting your record is always free. You choose every time.
- Do I have to pay?
- Only for Talira Plus. Today, Calendar and Me are free, and so is your record in them: your history, your medicines and their safety notes, your backups and exports, and the notes you save after a visit. Picture, Rhythm and the Visit Kit are part of Talira Plus, a subscription you buy and manage in your app store. On Google Play, your first month is free for new subscribers; after that it is ₹999 a year or ₹399 every 3 months, and you can cancel anytime. Without it, links to those parts carry a small padlock, and their daily tiles do not appear on Today. If it ends, they close — but everything you recorded stays yours, stays in your backup, and comes back if you subscribe again.
