PeriWise is a private companion for perimenopause and menopause. Track how you actually feel — hot flushes, sleep, mood, brain fog, joint pain and more — and watch the patterns emerge over weeks and months. When you next see your doctor, bring a clear PDF summary instead of trying to remember. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE No account. No sign-up. No server. No tracking. No ads. Your entries live in an encrypted database on your device, and PeriWise has no way to read them. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Log symptoms in seconds, with the six that matter most to you on the home screen • Track your cycle — period days on the calendar, and an estimate of when the next may start • Record medication and supplements, with reminders scheduled on device • Note measurements including weight, blood pressure and blood sugar • Connect your Oura Ring or Apple Watch — nightly temperature, sleep, heart rate and stress land on the same charts as your symptoms • See trends and connections across symptoms, sleep and mood • Read plain-language guidance on what is happening and why • Create a doctor-ready PDF report — always free • Log from your Apple Watch when your iPhone is not to hand • Lock the app with Face ID • Export and import your data if you change device ABOUT THE CYCLE ESTIMATE Perimenopausal cycles are irregular by nature. The estimate is for orientation only. It is not a contraceptive method and must not be used to prevent or plan a pregnancy.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
