Afina is the first nutrition and wellness app built around your hormones - automatically adapting your daily calorie targets, macro goals, and workout plan as you move through your cycle, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or menopause journey. NUTRITION THAT MOVES WITH YOUR CYCLE Your metabolism shifts throughout the month. Afina tracks your hormonal phase in real time and adjusts your targets automatically — more energy during luteal when your body burns extra, a natural dip around ovulation. No guessing. No manual tweaking. AI COACH THAT UNDERSTANDS YOUR BODY Log food in plain English — "I had a chicken bowl with rice and avocado." No barcodes, no databases, no searching. Your AI coach knows your hormonal phase, your goals, and your history. It gives you context, not just numbers. WORKOUTS THAT RESPECT WHERE YOU ARE Phase-synced movement plans that adapt as you move through your cycle. Lower intensity during menstruation. Strength and power when estrogen peaks in your follicular phase. A natural deload when luteal fatigue sets in. BUILT FOR EVERY HORMONAL LIFE STAGE One app that meets you where you are: • Regular and irregular cycles • PCOS, thyroid conditions, and endometriosis • Pregnancy — trimester-by-trimester guidance • Postpartum — with breastfeeding nutrition support • Perimenopause, menopause, and beyond SHAME-FREE, BIOLOGY-FIRST COACHING Luteal cravings are not a lack of willpower — they're your body asking for what it needs. Going over your target one day doesn't erase a week of progress. Your coach explains what's happening in your body, not just what you ate. SYNCS WITH YOUR DEVICES Connects with Apple Health for steps, workouts, sleep, and heart rate. Optional Oura Ring integration for temperature-based cycle insights. ——— SUBSCRIPTION • Annual plan: $59.99/year • Monthly plan: $14.99/month • One month free trial, no credit card needed Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
