Ebb

Hormones don't run on a schedule โ€” so why do period apps pretend they do? Ebb is a symptom and cycle tracker for the hormonal stages other apps skip: PCOS, postpartum recovery, perimenopause and menopause. Log how today felt, mark the days that matter, track HRT or other doses, and see an honest RANGE for your cycle instead of a fake-precise date that falls apart the moment your body doesn't cooperate. Irregularity is normal here. It's not a bug in your body, and it's not a bug in the app. WHO EBB IS FOR โ€ข PCOS โ€” irregular cycles, fatigue, mood and sleep, tracked against your own triggers so you can see what actually moves them. โ€ข Postpartum โ€” night sweats, sleep, mood and the return of your cycle, in the months when nobody is measuring anything. โ€ข Perimenopause & menopause โ€” hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, joint pain, plus HRT doses with site rotation and phased schedules. โ€ข Not sure yet โ€” that is a valid answer. Start logging; the pattern names itself. WHY EBB โ€ข Honest ranges, not false predictions. Other apps silently push your "due date" forward when you don't log a period, or just give up and hide the prediction entirely. Ebb shows you your real recent range and explains what's actually going on. โ€ข HRT and hormone dose tracking done properly. Log patches, gels, oral tablets, creams, injections, or a hormonal coil โ€” with dose amounts, application-site rotation reminders, and cyclical/phased schedules for progesterone. โ€ข See what's actually correlated. Compare your symptom trend against your dose changes and your own logged triggers (caffeine, alcohol, stress, poor sleep) โ€” not a guess, your own data. โ€ข A doctor visit report in one tap. Generate a clean PDF summary of your symptoms, doses, and notes โ€” built for the appointment that's never long enough. โ€ข Home & Lock Screen widgets, and an Apple Watch complication for your next dose. โ€ข No account, no ads. Your log stays on your device and in your iCloud. Nearly 40% of women say they were misdiagnosed while seeking care for perimenopause โ€” often treated for anxiety or depression instead of investigated for the hormonal cause. For a third of women with PCOS, a diagnosis takes more than two years and three or more doctors. Bring real data to your next appointment. Ebb Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (weekly or annual) that unlocks trends, dose tracking, and doctor reports.
