About

FlashCount

FlashCount answers a different question than most menopause apps: not "fill out today's check-in" but "log this hot flash and get back to your day." One tap starts a record โ€” no multi-step form, no required fields, nothing to type unless you want to. WHAT IT DOES โ€ข One-tap logging: tap once and a hot flash is logged instantly, with the time recorded automatically. Add a severity level or tag a trigger afterward if you want to โ€” nothing is required up front. โ€ข Patterns, at a glance: a 14-day chart, a time-of-day breakdown, a night-versus-day count, and a severity and trigger summary, all on one screen โ€” no scrolling through a diary to see what's changed. โ€ข Six triggers: coffee, alcohol, spicy food, stress, exercise and heat. Tag any of them on a flash in a couple of taps. โ€ข Doctor report: a clean 4-week or 12-week summary โ€” total count, daily average, night flashes, severity split, top triggers and a weekly trend โ€” built to screenshot and bring to an appointment. โ€ข 44 achievements: streaks and consistency badges for keeping the habit going, not for how many hot flashes you have. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER FlashCount has no sign-up and no account. Every flash you log, every trigger you tag and every setting stays on your device โ€” there is no server to lose it to, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. FLASHCOUNT PREMIUM FlashCount is a premium app: logging, patterns and the report are part of FlashCount Premium. โ€ข Weekly, monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription โ€” new subscribers get a discounted first week on the weekly plan โ€ข Or a one-time lifetime purchase โ€” pay once, keep it Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. FlashCount is a personal log for tracking and sharing what you notice. It does not diagnose, treat or monitor any medical condition โ€” always talk to a doctor about menopause symptoms and treatment.
