Read full description

Roothold is a low-stimulation reset for migraine-sensitive workdaysβ€”especially when screens, sound, physical tension, or mental load are becoming harder to tolerate. You may not be having a migraine attack. You may simply have spent hours looking at a screen, concentrating, filtering noise, making decisions, or holding tension in your neck and shoulders. Roothold helps you take the smallest useful break for what you can handle right now. WORKDAY DOWNSHIFT Take a 3–5 minute break from accumulated workday load. Depending on what you select, Roothold can adjust: β€’ how much spoken guidance you hear β€’ how much silence is included β€’ visual-attention guidance β€’ neck and shoulder release cues β€’ pacing for lower energy β€’ how gently you return to your screen and work The goal isn't maximum relaxation. It's to reduce unnecessary load while leaving you able to continue your day. MIGRAINE-AWARE WALKING RESET Prefer movement? Take a gentle walking reset without pace, distance, step, or calorie goals. Guidance can become simpler and quieter when visual motion, sound, energy, or physical tension make a normal walking meditation feel like too much. ADAPTED TO YOUR CURRENT SENSITIVITY Roothold can account for whether you're: β€’ Feeling steady β€’ More sensitive than usual β€’ Noticing a possible prodrome β€’ Recovering It can also adapt to screens, sound sensitivity, neck or shoulder tension, mental overload, and low energy. LESS TO DECIDE Roothold isn't an endless meditation library. It is designed to reduce the decisions required to choose something appropriate for right now. LOW STIMULATION BY DESIGN Quiet visuals, restrained audio, minimal interaction, and optional no-added-sound experiences are part of the productβ€”not cosmetic themes. PRIVATE AND LOW BURDEN No compulsory migraine diary. No account required for the core experience. Optional health context can support personalization without replacing what you tell Roothold about how you feel. Roothold supports relaxation, stress management, gentle movement, and a steadier routine between migraine attacks. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or abort migraine attacks and is not a substitute for professional medical care.

You know something has changed. But in a 10-minute appointment, it comes out as "I'm tired and I can't sleep" - and you leave with "it's just your age." Visit Ready helps you walk in with one page your doctor can actually read. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tick the symptoms you've been having, from a list built around what women actually report - irritability, anxiety and brain fog come first, not last. 2. For each one, note how severe it is, how long it's been going on, and how it affects your daily life. 3. Add what you've already tried, and the questions you don't want to forget. 4. Create a one-page PDF. Print it, email it, or hand over your phone. WHY THE "DAILY IMPACT" LINE MATTERS "Poor memory" is easy to wave away. "I lost my train of thought twice in client meetings this month" is not. The PDF puts that in writing, in your own words. SYMPTOMS YOU MAY NOT HAVE CONNECTED Joint pain. Acid reflux. Ringing ears. Itchy skin. Palpitations. Recurrent UTIs. Many women never think to mention these. They're grouped separately so you can see them in one place and decide for yourself whether they belong on your list. YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. Nothing is uploaded to any server. Your symptoms live only on your device, and the PDF is created on your phone. If you delete the app, the data is gone with it. WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT DO It does not diagnose anything, score you, suggest lab tests, or recommend treatment. It organises what you already know so your doctor hears it clearly. Always talk to a qualified healthcare professional about your symptoms. VISIT READY PRO Everything above is free - choosing symptoms, filling in details, and previewing your summary. A subscription unlocks the one-page PDF export. - Visit Ready Pro Monthly: US$4.99 per month - Visit Ready Pro Yearly: US$39.99 per year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription any time in Settings on your iPhone. Any unused part of a free trial, if offered, is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
