Track your perimenopause and menopause symptoms, understand your patterns, and take back control of how you feel - all in under 60 seconds a day. Care was built with a single mission: to help women going through perimenopause feel less alone, more informed, and more in control. We believe that understanding your body is the first step to feeling better. Every feature in Care is grounded in research on the mind-body connection, designed to help you see what your body is telling you. CARE IS FREE. ONLY THE FULL LEARN LIBRARY IS PREMIUM. DAILY CHECK-INS MADE SIMPLE (FREE) Log how you feel in under 60 seconds. Rate your sleep, track your energy, and mark over 50 symptoms across 8 categories including hot flashes, brain fog, joint pain, insomnia, and more. The more you track, the clearer your patterns become. UNDERSTAND YOUR MIND-BODY CONNECTION (FREE) Care goes beyond physical symptoms. Track your anger expression and body tension alongside your symptoms. Suppressed emotions directly affect how your body feels. Care helps you see those connections so you can make small changes that matter. CALM YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IN 60 SECONDS (FREE) A built-in breathing exercise is always one tap away. Choose from gentle, moderate, or deep breathing rates designed to reduce hot flash intensity, ease anxiety, and restore focus. Your exhale is always twice as long as your inhale - the rhythm your nervous system needs to shift from stress to calm. SEE YOUR PATTERNS WITH WEEKLY INSIGHTS (FREE) Every Sunday, Care summarises your week: how you slept, how you handled anger, your energy levels, and where you held tension. Simple data. No judgement. Just patterns you can act on. TRACK WHERE YOU HOLD STRESS (FREE) Map your body tension every day - jaw, neck, shoulders, chest, stomach, lower back. Over time, you will start seeing connections between emotional events and where your body tightens up. That awareness is the first step to releasing it.
