Perimenopause is confusing. Cycles shift, sleep gets lighter, energy moves in ways you can't quite place. Mella helps you see the pattern. How it works: • Start with a short assessment. Based on the symptoms you share, Mella suggests which phase of the transition your pattern best fits (early, mid, or late). For education, not a medical diagnosis. • See your symptom profile. Your answers mapped across six dimensions (temperature, sleep, mood, body, intimate, digestive) so you can spot what's shifting and what isn't. • Check in daily. Thirty seconds to log 16 common perimenopause symptoms. Your history builds into a timeline so you can see what's changing over time. • See your sleep, scored. Connect Apple Health and Mella turns your Apple Watch sleep into a nightly score, plus trends in duration, regularity, and wake-ups. • Let your days fill themselves in. Connect Apple Health and the movement your Apple Watch recorded can pre-fill your daily check-in. • Gentle daily reminders. An optional daily nudge so checking in becomes a habit. • Meet your Bloom Type. After seven days of check-ins, Mella reveals the archetype your pattern most resembles: the cluster of symptoms you carry, the way they travel, the rhythm that's only yours. It's a name for what's happening, not a diagnosis. • Daily personalized tips. A small action each morning, drawn from research and matched to the areas where you have the most room to feel better. • Follow a daily plan. Small daily steps, matched to the symptom area you said hits hardest, with one control for how much a day asks of you. • Get weekly insights. As your check-in history grows, Mella highlights patterns across your symptoms week to week, in plain language. • Read or listen on your own time. Short, research-informed articles on perimenopause topics, from sleep to mood to body changes. Selected articles come with audio narration. • Keep your daily routine in one place. What you take and do each day, with a history you can look back through and bring to an appointment. • Export a summary for your doctor. Turn your check-in history into a one-page PDF you can save or share before an appointment. Mella is for education and wellness. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions. Subscription: Mella is $24.99 per month. Your subscription renews automatically and can be canceled anytime in your Apple ID settings. No free trial.

About

SetPulse

Features
Read full description

SetPulse turns your whole screen into a workout signal: green for work, red for rest, amber for get-ready, and oversized digits you can read from across the gym. Build interval presets for HIIT, Tabata, boxing rounds, circuits, calisthenics, mobility, or yoga holds. Name each segment, choose work and rest timing, set your round count, and start from the presets list with one tap. During a workout, SetPulse keeps the session hands free. The timer stays anchored to wall-clock time, announces segment names aloud, plays clear interval cues, vibrates at boundaries when enabled, and ducks your music instead of stopping it. Turn on Mirror mode to watch your form in a live front-camera view behind the timer, then record the whole session — screen and sound — and save it to your Photos to review your reps later. No account is required. No subscription is required. The app opens straight to the timer, with saved presets and settings stored on the device. Key features: - Mirror mode: a live front-camera view so you can check your form mid-set. - One-tap screen recording saved to your Photos. - Full-screen work, rest, prep, paused, and finished states. - Large tabular countdown digits and round readout. - Unlimited local presets with one-tap start. - Segment editor with named intervals, cycles, cooldown, reorder, and live duration. - Voice announcements, audio cues, vibration, light and dark themes, and stay-awake.
