this is not a glorified reminder or tracking app and it's not just another men's protocol app with the colors changed. Microdose Companion is built exclusively for women's biology, for every stage: cycling, perimenopausal, or fully post-menopause. your brain chemistry is not the same on day 3 as day 17, and it's not the same at 48 as it was at 28. any protocol app that ignores who you actually are is incomplete. WHAT IT DOES • two tracks: an intuitive protocol for perimenopause and beyond, and a cycle-synced protocol for regular cycles • daily guidance that shifts with your phase or your state: what to take, when to take a day off, and always the why • check-ins that take thirty seconds: record your mood, journal a few words if you want • phase-start reminders and a daily nudge, at a time you pick • a history calendar you can browse and edit, and one-tap export of everything you've logged EDUCATION FIRST every recommendation comes with the reasoning behind it. the science of cycle phases, neuroplasticity, and the menopause transition is part of the app, not an afterthought. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS everything you log lives on your phone. no account, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking. an optional email signup is the only thing that ever leaves your device, and only if you choose it. pairs with the NFTP supplement stack (sold separately at nftp.us), or source your own, the app works either way
