Embraya is an IVF medication tracker and cycle planning app built for the real complexity of IVF treatment—not just a single cycle. IVF can feel overwhelming. Between medications, appointments, shifting timelines, and unanswered questions, it’s easy to feel scattered. Embraya helps you manage it all in one place, so you’re not relying on notes apps, alarms, spreadsheets, or memory. Whether you’re preparing for egg retrieval, navigating embryo transfer, or moving through more than one treatment cycle, Embraya gives you structure, clarity, and support—without adding more to your mental load. What Makes Embraya Different Built for more than one cycle: IVF rarely follows a straight line. Embraya lets you track multiple treatment cycles, switch between them easily, and keep your history organized over time—including uploaded results and past treatments. Medication tracking that goes beyond reminders: Set up IVF medications with guided scheduling, reminders, inventory tracking, and injection side rotation. Know what you’ve taken, what’s coming up, and when supplies are running low—based on what you enter. Clear cycle visibility, without guessing: See exactly where you are in your IVF treatment cycle at a glance. Embraya maps phases like stimulation, retrieval, and transfer so you always know what stage you’re in and what’s next. Education that shows up when it matters: Instead of overwhelming you upfront, Embraya surfaces phase-based educational information as you move through treatment—covering appointments, common medications, side effects, and what to expect next. Answers to common IVF questions, by phase: Find answers to the questions that tend to come up at each stage of treatment, right when they’re relevant—not buried in articles you have to hunt down. A private place to track symptoms and process the experience: Journal and track symptoms by treatment phase. Embraya offers a private space to reflect, notice patterns, and process what you’re going through—physically and emotionally. Your data is protected under Embraya’s Privacy Policy and Consumer Health Data Policy, which is designed with industry-standard data security safeguards. One calendar for everything: View medications, appointments, and key milestones together in a single, organized calendar so you can see your full plan at a glance. Milestones that acknowledge real progress: IVF progress isn’t always obvious. Embraya helps you recognize meaningful moments along the way, including the small wins that often go unrecognized. Embraya is intended for users 18 years and older. Medical Disclaimer: Embraya does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

You don't have to be okay to open this app. Tether is a free grounding companion for the hard moments, when you're overwhelmed, anxious, spiraling, or just can't quite come back to yourself. It meets you where you are with immediate ways to steady your nervous system, whatever brought you here. You don't have to carry it alone. WHAT'S INSIDE Bring Me Back — an emergency grounding sequence for your hardest moments. One tap starts a guided path of breathing, haptics, and sound to help you find your footing. Grounding & sensory exercises — breathing resets, haptic rhythms you can feel, and pressure-based tools that use your own body to bring you back to the present. Soundscapes & ambient music — calming nature sounds and an instrumental library to quiet everything else out. Color & create — coloring pages and a free-draw space to give your mind somewhere soft to land. Short stories — gentle, original stories to rest your mind somewhere softer. Learn It, Master It — clear, science-backed articles on what's happening in your brain and body, and why it matters. Tether Community — an anonymous space to be heard by people going through the same things. Every identity is anonymous, every message is moderated, and you can block anyone, anytime. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Tether learns through your patterns — not your identity. No full name, no location tracking, no profile. What we learn stays yours, and you can delete everything, instantly, whenever you want. THERE WHEN YOU NEED IT The exercises, sounds, stories, and emergency sequence work offline, so Tether is there even without a connection. Tether is a free tool by The Catori Foundation. Support in hard moments shouldn't depend on what you can afford. Tether is not a substitute for professional care. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line). Intended for ages 13 and up.
