Every other app tracks her cycle for her. This one translates it for him. Her cycle affects everything: mood, energy, sleep, what she needs from you this week. Most women were never taught to read it. Almost no men were. PhaseMate is built to fix both. IF YOU'RE HER Log your period in seconds and see your whole rhythm on the world's first circular cycle calendar. Period, follicular, ovulation, luteal and late luteal, mapped where they actually sit. PhaseMate learns your personal pattern, so predictions get sharper the longer you use it. And when you're ready, hand the explaining over to the app. You shouldn't have to do it every month. IF YOU'RE HIM Add one date and PhaseMate works out where she is, what's coming, and what she needs. Not a lecture, a forecast. Which phase she's in today, when it flips, and what "I'm fine" means this week. Works on your own. Nothing is shared and she doesn't need to join unless you both want to. IF YOU'RE BOTH Link accounts and you're reading from the same chart. Fewer arguments that turn out to have had a calendar all along. WHAT YOU GET - The world's first circular cycle calendar - Predictions that learn your cycle, not a textbook average - Partner mode that teaches him your phases - Luteal and late luteal support for the hardest days to explain - Year view for planning travel and big moments around your best days THE MISSION Translate the female hormone cycle for men, so she never has to explain it again. Fewer arguments, more understanding, happier couples. It's time we started understanding each other. PhaseMate is a subscription app; pricing is shown at purchase. PhaseMate is not a medical tool and does not provide medical advice. Terms of Use: https://www.phasemateapp.com/pages/terms-of-use

Step on your scale. Strida does the rest. Strida Scale connects to your Bluetooth smart scale and instantly captures your weight, body fat percentage, BMI, and full body composition — no manual entry, no guesswork. Whether you're chasing a fitness goal or simply staying on top of your health, Strida gives you the clear picture you need to keep moving forward. AUTOMATIC BLUETOOTH CONNECTION Open the app, step on your scale, and your measurements appear. Strida connects seamlessly to your smart scale over Bluetooth so your data is ready the moment you step off — no tapping, no syncing, no fuss. BODY COMPOSITION AT A GLANCE Weight is just the start. See your body fat percentage, BMI, and other composition metrics alongside every measurement — giving you a fuller, more meaningful view of your health than a number alone ever could. YOUR PROGRESS, VISUALIZED Watch your journey unfold in a clean, interactive trend chart. Filter your history by time of day, date range (7 days, 30 days, 3 months, or custom), and choose whether to plot measurements by count or by calendar date. Progress is easier to stick to when you can actually see it. FAMILY PROFILES One scale, the whole household. Add individual profiles for every family member — each with their own age, height, goal weight, and unit preference — and switch between them in seconds. Every person's data stays completely separate. WEIGHING REMINDERS Building a habit is the hardest part. Set multiple reminders at different days and times, each with its own on/off toggle, so a check-in always fits your schedule. SET YOUR GOAL Enter a target weight and track your distance to it with every measurement. Small wins add up — Strida makes sure you notice them. FLEXIBLE UNITS Weigh in kilograms, pounds, or stones. Switch at any time and your entire history updates instantly to match. APPLE HEALTH SYNC Automatic sync of every measurement to the Apple Health app, so your scale data lives alongside the rest of your health picture. DESIGNED FOR EVERY LIGHT Dark mode support built in — Strida adapts automatically to your device's appearance settings, day or night. Compatible with most Bluetooth body composition smart scales.
