Log a hot flash in one tap. Spot your patterns. Bring your doctor a clear summary. Marigold is a private tracker for perimenopause and menopause. Log from your iPhone, Apple Watch or Siri, see how your symptoms change over time, and keep HRT doses and refills in one place. No account. No ads. Nothing sold. Free to download. Try Premium free for a month. LOG YOUR DAY IN SECONDS • One-tap hot flash and night sweat logging, stamped with the time • 21 symptoms with a 0 to 4 severity scale and an optional note • Period start dates, logged on the day, so Marigold can forecast your next one AN HONEST FORECAST, NOT FALSE PRECISION (PREMIUM) Marigold predicts your next period as a range with a confidence level, and tells you plainly when your cycles are too irregular to call. The forecast is calculated on your iPhone from your own logs, and it needs at least three logged periods before it appears. SEE THE PATTERNS BEHIND YOUR DAYS (PREMIUM) Cycle length over time, hot flashes and night sweats week by week, your most-logged symptoms and your symptom burden score. A weekly "Marigold noticed" note reads your week back to you. HRT AND MEDICATION REMINDERS (PREMIUM) Track patch, gel, spray, tablet, pessary, vaginal cream, vaginal ring, injection, hormonal coil or implant. Get dose reminders and running-low refill alerts, and check doses off on the Today screen. A DOCTOR-READY SUMMARY One tap builds a PDF: your cycle pattern, symptom burden, HRT and logged doses, forecast, flags to raise and questions to ask. Your first summary is free; Premium covers any date range. ON YOUR WRIST, YOUR HOME SCREEN AND WITH SIRI (WATCH AND WIDGET ARE PREMIUM) An Apple Watch app to check your forecast and next dose, take a minute to breathe, and log a hot flash, symptom or mood in one tap. Home Screen widgets, a watch complication, and Siri: "Log a hot flash in Marigold." A CALMER MOMENT, WHEN YOU WANT ONE (ALL FREE) Fifteen quiet activities with no scores to chase: paced and cooling breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, tension release, a pond where you catch your worries as fish and watch them go, bubbles to pop, colouring you can zoom into, a garden that grows as you spend calm minutes, memory and sorting games, and calm chess with no clock. After you log, Marigold may offer one when your own logs show a pattern, at most once every 8 hours. OPTIONAL WEATHER HEADS-UP If you turn it on, Marigold sends your approximate location (rounded to about 10 km) to Apple Weather for today's forecast. Nothing you log is sent. OPTIONAL APPLE HEALTH (PREMIUM) Read-only. Sleep, resting heart rate and wrist temperature from Apple Health help Marigold spot patterns. Health data never leaves your iPhone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics or tracking SDKs. Your logs stay on your iPhone: there is no HaloSync server. Optional iCloud sync keeps a copy in your own private iCloud. Otherwise only the optional, rounded weather location leaves your phone. MARIGOLD PREMIUM Logging, the Today screen, your 7-day flash chart, your top symptoms, every calm activity and one doctor summary are free. Marigold Premium unlocks the next-period forecast, full trends, pattern insights, doctor summaries for any date range, HRT and appointment reminders, Apple Health, the Home Screen widget and the Apple Watch app. Try Premium free for one month on the annual plan, or pay once for Lifetime and never renew.
