How many hot flashes this week? How did you sleep, and how was your mood? You don't have to remember. When a hot flash hits, one tap is enough, and Pausa shows you how your week went, all in one place. Menopause and the years before it are hard to keep track of in your head. What you write stays with you. No sign-up: we don't ask for an email or a password. No ads, and your information is never sold. Your notes stay on your phone and go nowhere unless you send them. We can't see them either. Note it in seconds. When a hot flash comes, one tap is enough: in the app, from the Lock Screen, on Apple Watch or by asking Siri. You can also add your sleep, your mood, what happened that day and, if you take hormone medication, the days you took it. Connect Apple Health if you like, and things like your night-time body temperature fill in on their own. It starts with you. The first time you open Pausa, we ask what bothers you most and which stage you're in. Your picks sit at the top of your home screen, and we skip questions that don't fit you. A short summary every week. At the end of the week you see how your hot flashes, sleep and mood went. We also compare it with what you told us at the start: "At the start you said about 5 a day; this week you averaged 3." Pausa points out links you might want to notice, in plain sentences, such as more hot flashes the day after a poor night. They're there to help you notice, never a diagnosis. Go to your doctor prepared. Turn weeks of notes into a tidy summary to show your doctor. Instead of "I just don't feel right", you have the real picture in your hand. What's free and what's Premium. Notes, reminders, the weekly summary and asking about your notes in Assistant are always free: questions like "How many hot flashes did I have this week?" are answered from your own notes, and answers to general questions are based on sources such as The Menopause Society, NICE and ACOG. Premium adds: • A tidy summary to show your doctor • Seeing what changed after your medication changed • Asking anything in your own words and getting a written answer • A short write-up of your week Open-ended questions and the weekly write-up work on iPhones that support Apple Intelligence. If you're new to Premium, it's free for 14 days on the yearly plan and 7 days on the monthly plan. We remind you 2 days before the trial ends; cancel before then and you pay nothing. The price is shown clearly on the payment screen. Pausa is a helper to get to know your body better. It isn't a medical device; it doesn't diagnose or suggest treatment. If something doesn't go away or worries you, talk to your doctor. Privacy: https://www.mehmetsisoglu.com/pausa/legal#privacy-en Terms of use: https://www.mehmetsisoglu.com/pausa/legal#eula-en

About

Perimenopause Tracker

Features
Read full description

Perimenopause can run for years. Appointments last minutes. Pausely is a private log for the years in between — a fast daily record of how you actually felt, so that when you finally sit down with your doctor you have evidence instead of a guess. LOG A DAY IN UNDER A MINUTE Pick what you felt, grade how bad it was, add a note if you want to. Thirty built-in symptoms cover temperature, sleep, mind, mood, body, skin and hair, and cycle — hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, restless sleep, anxiety, joint pain, low energy and more. Add your own if something is missing. Mark your period days on the calendar. Record the treatments you are taking. Set one gentle reminder a day if you want the habit to stick. BRING SOMETHING REAL TO YOUR APPOINTMENT The Appointment Summary turns your log into a clean one-page PDF built to be read quickly: how often each symptom appeared, how severe it was, and your period dates, across the range you choose. Share it, email it, or print it. Pausely does not diagnose anything, does not interpret your results, and does not tell you what to do. It shows you your own record, clearly, and lets you hand it to someone qualified to read it. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE There is no account and no sign-up. Nothing you log is uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload it to — no servers, no profile, no advertising, no tracking. Nobody at Pausely can read your entries. You can export your log as a spreadsheet, and delete all of it in two taps. FREE, AND FREE FOREVER • Unlimited daily logging, all thirty symptoms • The calendar and your period days • Treatments you are taking • A daily reminder • The Appointment Summary PDF • Trends, summaries and CSV export across the last four weeks PAUSELY PLUS Perimenopause does not fit in four weeks, and neither does the conversation about it. Plus opens up the long view: • Trends, summaries and CSV export across six months, one year, or all time • Any custom date range you choose • Cycle statistics across your whole history Pausely Plus is available as a monthly or annual subscription, both with a free trial. Pricing is shown in the app before you are asked to pay, and you can cancel any time in your Apple settings. — Pausely is a personal tracking tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or give medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional about your symptoms.
