MidTide

Read full description

Track your perimenopause symptoms, connect with peers who get it, and see your patterns over time. MidTide is a self-tracking and peer-support app. It is not a medical service and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have ever searched "is this perimenopause?" at 2am, this app was built for you. Perimenopause can start in your mid-30s and last a decade or more. It brings 34+ possible symptoms, from brain fog and night sweats to anxiety and joint pain. Most women go years without a clear answer. Doctors get an average of zero hours of menopause training in medical school. Friends and family often have no idea what you are going through. MidTide gives you two things nobody else does: a clear picture of your own patterns, and people who actually understand. DAILY CHECK-INS Log your mood, energy, sleep, activity, symptoms, caffeine, alcohol, and period in under 60 seconds. Go back and fill in yesterday or the day before if you forgot. Build streaks and watch your data turn into something useful. PATTERN DETECTION Your dashboard shows your Mood and Cycle Timeline, top symptoms, activity impact, and data-driven pattern insights. See how your sleep connects to your symptoms. Notice whether caffeine or alcohol affects your nights. Track your period alongside everything else. PEERMATCH Get matched with women based on shared symptoms, perimenopause stage, goals, and location. No public profiles. No social media dynamics. Just private conversations with someone who gets it. COMMUNITY ROOMS Six topic rooms: Sleep Support, Hot Flashes, HRT Talk, Mood and Anxiety, Staying Active, and Nutrition and Diet. Drop in when you need to talk. No algorithms, no feeds, no followers. 25 ARTICLES Written for real questions, not medical jargon. Topics include HRT, brain fog, sleep, anxiety, supplements, when to see a doctor, and how to talk to your partner about what you are experiencing. MEDICATION TRACKING Keep a log of your medications, supplements, and natural remedies with dosage and frequency. Export a PDF report to bring to your next doctor's appointment. SAFETY AND PRIVACY Report and block users. Community guidelines enforced during onboarding. Email verification required. No public profiles. Your health data is never shared with third parties, insurers, employers, or advertisers. PRICING Free: daily check-ins, community rooms, articles, medication tracking, and basic dashboard. Optional subscription ($3.99/month or $39.99/year): PeerMatch, full dashboard with pattern insights, PDF medication reports, and backdated check-ins. Important: MidTide is designed for self-tracking and peer support. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. The symptom patterns, dashboard insights, and articles in MidTide are for informational purposes only and should not replace advice from a qualified healthcare provider. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services. Always talk to your doctor before making decisions about hormone therapy, medications, or treatment.

About

Glasyn

Glasyn is a calm, private diary for hot flashes, with an optional daily check-in for how each day felt. Log a hot flash in two taps, watch your own patterns take shape, and walk into your next appointment with a clear summary to share. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Log in two taps. Tap the button, choose how strong it was, and you are done. Add a note, a trigger, or the time of day only if you want to. - See your patterns. A simple calendar and insights show how often hot flashes happen, day versus night, and how many woke you up. - Notice what tends to come first. Tag triggers like caffeine, alcohol, stress, or a warm room and see which ones show up most. - Keep a night record. Mark episodes that happened at night and the ones that woke you, so sleep is part of the picture. - Note how the day felt. An optional daily check-in records mood, sleep, joint or muscle ache, and foggy thinking, in your own words, so the picture is more than hot flashes alone. MADE FOR THE CONVERSATION WITH YOUR DOCTOR Appointments are short. Glasyn turns weeks of entries into one clear page you can hand to your clinician, as a PDF, with a CSV of the raw data if they want the detail. It is organized, easy to read, and ready to discuss. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Everything stays on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. - No account to create. No sign-up, no email. - No ads, no tracking, and your information is never sold or shared. SIMPLE ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY USE Large text, plain words, and one clear action on every screen. Built to be quick when you are warm and uncomfortable, not one more thing to manage. GLASYN PLUS Logging is always free and unlimited. Glasyn Plus unlocks the doctor report and full insights. Choose monthly ($4.99, 7-day free trial), yearly ($39.99, 14-day free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase ($59.99). Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Glasyn is a personal wellness diary. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it does not describe menopausal status. Always talk with a qualified healthcare provider about your health. Glasyn Plus is an auto-renewable subscription (or a one-time Lifetime purchase). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.
