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.

4 runners in 10 get injured while training for a marathon, and some never make the start line. Synka has one goal: get you to the start line, then across the finish line. IT'S NOT THE MILES, IT'S THE SPIKES Most training mistakes are sudden jumps: a long run much longer than anything you did this month, a hard session the day after a hard session, a comeback that starts too fast. Synka builds your plan to race day and smooths those jumps out, week after week. A PLAN THAT FOLLOWS YOU Ten seconds each morning: energy, pain, period. If you are tired, today's session gets easier. After a bad night, the hard session moves to a better day. Short on time? Say how many minutes you have and Synka builds a session that fits. Missed a week? It eases you back in. YOUR CYCLE, TAKEN SERIOUSLY Synka learns which phases of your cycle cost you more and places hard sessions on your best days. On hormonal contraception or without cycle tracking, the plan works exactly the same. EVERYTHING A PREP NEEDS Build, race-specific and taper blocks. Intervals, threshold, tempo, long runs and lighter weeks. One to seven runs a week, a run-walk start for beginners, and guided strength sessions built into the plan. GPS runs with voice-guided pace, your run on the lock screen, sessions sent to your Apple Watch. SEE YOURSELF PROGRESS Your paces are set on your real level, not on a wish. Synka reads your runs from Apple Health and shows the race time you can aim for, your VO2max pace, your freshness, and your pace at the same heart rate: how many seconds you gained in three months. No watch? Everything works by feel. HONEST Every change to your plan comes with its reason. No made-up numbers, no ads, no tracking, no in-app purchase. Delete your account and all your data from the app, immediately. Synka is not a medical device and does not replace medical advice.
