Elevated is the self care app that actually fits your life. Habits, skincare, your cycle, workouts, water, gratitude and mental health, all in one place, all designed to look as good as they feel. Most habit apps are a checklist. Elevated is a day. It knows what phase of your cycle you're in, how your energy is holding up and what's realistic tonight, and it shapes your day around that instead of nagging you. YOUR DAY, BEAUTIFULLY PLANNED Open Today and see your morning, afternoon and evening laid out with a glow score that fills as you go. Tick habits in one tap, reorder your evening, and watch the whole thing shift to sunset as the day winds down. A MENTAL HEALTH BATTERY, NOT A MOOD LOG Your energy as a battery that drains and recharges. Calibrated to you, it forecasts when you'll run low and tells you which small habit pushes that back. Check in with how you're feeling, name what drained you and see it change. CYCLE SYNCING, DONE PROPERLY Log your period once and Elevated works out your phase, then adapts your skincare, training and energy advice to it. Ovulation week and luteal week get different plans, because they are different weeks. SKINCARE WITH A FACE Build an avatar that looks like you, then run your mask ritual with a guided timer, a breathing cue and a face that's wearing the mask with you. Clay, sheet or cream, it keeps the count so you don't have to. Elevated Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.
