Perimenopause Compass

Read full description

Perimenopause does not feel random because you are imagining it. It feels random because the evidence is scattered. A bad night here. A hot flush there. Mood changes, brain fog, joint pain, night sweats, irregular periods, HRT adjustments, and the vague memory that last week was worse, but not exactly why. Then comes the appointment, and you are expected to explain months of changing symptoms in ten minutes. Perimenopause Compass is a private symptom, cycle and HRT tracker built to make the pattern visible. Not a generic wellness diary. Not a fertility app with a menopause label. Not a cloud account asking for intimate data. A calm, on-device perimenopause tracker for understanding what changed, when it changed, and what you want to discuss next. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED App requires an auto-renewable subscription. Weekly Pro includes a 7-day free trial, then renews weekly unless cancelled. Annual Pro gives full access for one year, is billed immediately, and does not include a free trial. WHAT CHANGES ON DAY ONE Daily symptom logging becomes a 20-second check-in. Scattered notes become clear trends. Cycle changes stop living only in memory. HRT adjustments become a timeline you can review. Doctor appointments start with evidence, not guesswork. TRACK THE SYMPTOMS THAT MATTER Choose the symptoms you want to follow, then log severity with simple sliders. Track common perimenopause and menopause symptoms such as: β€’ hot flushes β€’ night sweats β€’ poor sleep β€’ mood changes β€’ brain fog β€’ joint pain β€’ cycle irregularity β€’ and other symptoms you choose to monitor No endless diary entries. No noisy dashboard. No pressure to record everything. SEE PATTERNS OVER TIME Symptoms are hard to understand when each day is viewed alone. Perimenopause Compass helps you review changes across days, weeks and months so you can see: β€’ which symptoms keep returning β€’ whether symptoms cluster together β€’ how symptoms change around recent periods β€’ whether sleep, mood or hot flushes are improving or worsening β€’ what changed after an HRT or regimen adjustment This is not diagnosis. It is your own information made easier to understand. TRACK HRT AND REGIMEN CHANGES If you are taking HRT or another regimen, record what changed and when. Keep a simple history of medications, doses, dates and how symptoms felt afterwards. Instead of β€œI think it helped”, you have a clearer record. CYCLE CONTEXT WITHOUT FERTILITY NOISE Many cycle apps are still built around fertility prediction. Perimenopause Compass is different. It lets you log periods and cycle changes without unnecessary ovulation windows or fertility framing. The focus is simple: recent periods, irregularity, symptom context and what is useful for this stage of life. DOCTOR-READY APPOINTMENT SUMMARY Prepare a structured appointment summary from your own logged data. Use it to organise: β€’ your most difficult symptoms β€’ recent patterns β€’ current treatment or HRT β€’ what you want to ask at your appointment You can edit the summary before sharing or exporting it as a PDF. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays on your device. No account. No cloud database. No advertising profile. No selling of personal health data. Where available, on-device Apple Intelligence can help organise your logged information into clearer appointment wording, without sending private health information to an external AI service. BUILT FOR CALM USE Perimenopause can already feel noisy enough. The app is deliberately restrained: cream background, carmine accents, simple cards, readable charts and quick daily input. The point is not to make you track more. The point is to help you understand more. Perimenopause is not random. You just need to see the pattern.
