NEW IN 1.2: a 10-second Ear Check for tinnitus, fullness and hearing between episodes, sodium from Apple Health, a 7-day pressure forecast that learns whether pressure affects you, and your hearing tests next to your episodes. Meniere's disease (also written Menieres) affects every part of your day — from vertigo and headache to migraine, dizziness, and constant pain. Meni gives you a calm, focused way to track episodes, keep a symptom diary, and uncover the patterns behind your balance disorder. TRACK EPISODES IN REAL TIME Start tracking the moment vertigo, tinnitus, or dizziness strikes. A live timer runs on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island so you can focus on getting through the attack — not fumbling with your phone. When it ends, rate severity, tag symptoms, and add notes in seconds. LOG DAILY TRIGGERS & HABITS Sodium, stress, caffeine, alcohol, sleep, and water — all in one daily log. You can enter salt intake in grams or simply mark Low, Moderate, or High. Over time, Meni correlates these factors against your episode history to surface real trigger patterns. SEE YOUR PATTERNS A calendar heatmap shows episode frequency at a glance. Charts reveal severity trends, weekday distributions, symptom breakdowns, and trigger correlations (e.g., "Episodes are 2.3x more likely after high-salt days"). Knowledge is the first step toward relief. BAROMETRIC PRESSURE & WEATHER Many people with Meniere's notice episodes around weather changes. Meni shows real-time barometric pressure, humidity, and wind conditions alongside your symptom data so you can spot connections your doctor might miss. MEDICATION REMINDERS Add your medications — Betahistine, diuretics, Meclizine, or any custom prescription — and set per-medication daily reminders so you never miss a dose. APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION Sync steps, sleep, heart rate, HRV, environmental noise, blood pressure, and more. When you start a daily log, sleep and caffeine data can auto-fill from Health, saving you time. DOCTOR-READY REPORTS Export a professional PDF report or CSV spreadsheet to share with your ENT or audiologist. Reports include episode summaries, symptom frequencies, trigger correlations, and daily log history — everything your healthcare team needs at a glance. EPISODE-FREE STREAKS Celebrate progress. Meni tracks how many days you have been episode-free and encourages you with milestone celebrations. HELPFUL RESOURCES In-app articles written in plain language cover understanding Meniere's disease, diet and lifestyle guides, the connection between weather and your ears, and tips for working with your healthcare team. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your health data stays on your device by default. Optionally enable iCloud sync to keep everything in sync across your iPhone and iPad — only you can access it. PRO Free features include episode tracking, daily logging, basic charts, CSV export, and up to 2 medication reminders. Upgrade to Pro for advanced analytics, trigger correlation insights, unlimited medication slots, PDF export, iCloud sync, and full health metric history. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been managing Meniere's for years, Meni helps you feel more in control — one log at a time.

Your labs came back "normal." You still feel exhausted, foggy, and cold. If that sounds familiar, Thyroid Compass was built for you. Most lab reports flag a result only when it falls outside a very wide reference range. But many thyroid-literate clinicians target much tighter numbers — a TSH under 2.5 rather than under 4.5, for example. Thyroid Compass shows you both, so you can see where you actually stand instead of just being told you're fine. SNAP A PHOTO, GET A REAL EXPLANATION Photograph your lab report and get a plain-English breakdown of every thyroid marker — TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies, plus co-factors like ferritin, vitamin D and B12. The interpretation is tuned specifically for thyroid conditions. It understands T4-to-T3 conversion problems, antibody trends, and why "normal TSH" doesn't always mean "well" — the things generic health apps miss entirely. SEE YOUR MARKERS OVER TIME Every marker graphed across every lab you've uploaded, with two bands overlaid: your lab's reference range, and the tighter optimal range many thyroid specialists aim for. Seeing them side by side is often the moment things click. PATTERNS YOU'D NEVER SPOT ALONE Log a 30-second daily check-in — fatigue, brain fog, cold sensitivity, mood — and the app looks across months of data for connections. Things like "your fatigue climbed the same weeks your Free T3 drifted down." Each insight comes with a confidence label, so you know which patterns are solid and which are just interesting. WALK INTO APPOINTMENTS PREPARED Generate a one-page summary your endocrinologist can read in sixty seconds: your recent labs with changes highlighted, your symptom trends, and specific questions worth asking. Print it or share it as a PDF. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Got years of lab reports sitting in your camera roll? Import up to 20 at once. Each becomes its own dated entry, and your full history graphs immediately. BUILT FOR HASHIMOTO'S, HYPOTHYROIDISM, GRAVES' AND POST-THYROIDECTOMY Tell the app your condition and current medication, and everything adapts — what it flags, what it suggests, how it talks to you. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your labs, symptoms, and notes are stored on your device, not on our servers. Export everything as a file whenever you want. Delete it all with one tap. No ads, no data selling, ever. FREE TO START Track symptoms, upload your first two labs, and see your interpretations at no cost. Premium unlocks unlimited uploads, Action Plans, trends, insights, doctor visit prep, and bulk import. IMPORTANT Thyroid Compass is a wellness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice. AI-generated explanations are educational — always discuss your results and any health decisions with a qualified healthcare provider. Never start, stop, or change medication based on information from this app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your iPhone's Settings.
