Steadied

Steadied is a cycle, hormone, and symptom tracker for PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, PMDD, PMS, perimenopause, postpartum recovery, hypothalamic amenorrhoea, and menstrual migraine. It isn't a fertility tracker or contraceptive. Patterns take cycles to surface. Steadied makes that wait worth it: insights built over months can be the kind a clinician will engage with. PRIVACY BY CONSTRUCTION • No accounts, no sign-up, no tracking • No servers — your data is not sent to us • No third-party analytics, no advertising IDs • iCloud sync uses your private database (end-to-end encrypted by Apple) • Panic Delete clears covered cycle/report data: this device, your iCloud, and the suite slice BUILT FOR CHRONIC-ILLNESS AUDIENCES Pick PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, PMDD, PMS, perimenopause, postpartum, hypothalamic amenorrhoea, menstrual migraine, or "tracking only" during onboarding. Steadied tailors the symptom set, the language, and the insights to your conditions. Change them any time. Inclusive language preference (default neutral; non-binary and trans-masc options). PERIOD, SYMPTOM AND PAIN LOGGING Five flow levels, birth-control checks, treatments, a curated 40-symptom catalogue filtered to your conditions, custom symptoms, 1–10 severity sliders, optional notes, and a Pain map for body-location pins. Edit any past day from the calendar. METHOD TRACKING Track birth-control method, start date, daily reminders for daily methods, and cycle-suppression context. Steadied is still not contraceptive advice. CALENDAR WITH IRREGULARITY-AWARE WINDOWS Logged periods show as filled circles, your next-period window as a dashed outline. When your cycles vary by more than ~5 days, Steadied widens the window to a range — no false confidence on a single date. Common with PCOS, perimenopause, or postpartum. INSIGHTS Free: • Cycle rhythm — average length, range, honest prediction windows • Phase patterns — symptom severity, energy, and sleep averages per phase Steadied+: • Before-period changes — baseline vs pre-period 3-day average, worst-day offset, cycle count • Cycle rhythm drill-downs — trend, irregularity signals, year timeline • Symptom Patterns — top symptoms by phase and date heatmap • Pain Locations — cycle-linked body-map pain summaries • Body Signals — sleep, resting HR, HRV, and wrist temperature by phase • Doctor Reports, scheduled reports, CSV export, and curated symptom renaming REPORTS FOR YOUR CLINICIAN Single-file PDF: cycle history, bleeding pattern, phase analysis, premenstrual pattern, length trend, symptom log summary, treatment context, and pain locations when logged. Scheduled Doctor Reports are included in Steadied+. APPLE WATCH APP & WIDGETS Standalone Watch app with phase, cycle day, flow picker, symptom quick logging, flare/context chips, and daily birth-control or treatment check-ins when configured. Five iOS widget families plus four watch complication families. APPLE HEALTH Read-only menstrual flow and spotting import, plus wearable readings when available: resting heart rate, sleep, HRV, and wrist temperature. Steadied never writes back to Apple Health by design. BACKUP, RESTORE & EXPORT Free JSON backup and restore for cycle, symptom, pain-map, treatment, report, and wearable data with Merge or Replace modes. Restore requires iCloud Sync to be fully off for the current launch. Automatic backups can write to iCloud Drive. Steadied+ adds CSV export. PRICING Steadied+ is a one-time £29.99 purchase. Family Sharing eligible. No subscription. No "trial expired" messaging. SAFETY Steadied is not a medical device. Period-date estimates are based on your own data and are not contraceptive. Do not use Steadied for fertility planning, conception, or contraception. If you are concerned about your symptoms, consult a clinician — do not wait for the app to surface a pattern.

Prova is a PMDD tracker that turns your daily symptoms into proof. Log mood, physical, and behavioral symptoms, watch the pattern build across your cycle, and export a clinician-ready report to bring to your doctor. Private and on-device. PROVE IT'S PMDD If every month you're told it's "just stress," Prova gives you the record that changes the conversation. It tracks your symptoms against your cycle and shows the pattern — the luteal-phase spike that defines PMDD — in plain language. THE DAILY LOG Rate 11 symptoms — sadness, anxiety, mood swings, anger, loss of interest, trouble concentrating, feeling overwhelmed, fatigue, appetite, sleep and physical aches — on a simple none-to-severe scale, grouped into mood, behavioral and physical. It's the DSM-5 premenstrual criteria turned into a form you can fill in over a coffee, once a day. One more tap answers the question a clinician asks next: did it get in the way today, at work, at school or at home? A note field captures the day in your words. SEE YOUR PATTERN, FREE Your proof-curve fills in as you log. A phase-by-phase breakdown shows which symptoms cluster in your luteal window — the evidence a clinician looks for. And a home-screen widget shows your cycle day and phase at a glance — never your symptoms. A CLINICIAN-READY REPORT (Pro) Export a clean PDF of your symptom pattern to bring to your doctor. On your phone, Prova checks your log against the DSM-5 premenstrual criteria: how many symptoms rise in your luteal window, which core symptoms, the timing, and whether they got in the way. The report prints that check beside your chart. This isn't in your head — it's a record you and your clinician can act on. WALK IN READY The appointment sheet tells you who to see, gives you what to say in the first minute, written from your own record, and lists the questions worth asking. WHEN IT GETS DARK PMDD can bring hopeless days in the luteal window. When you rate sadness or overwhelm as severe, crisis lines sit one tap away: call or text 988, or text HOME to 741741 (US, 24/7). Settings also keeps a note you wrote to yourself on a clearer day, shown back when the window opens. KNOW BEFORE IT HITS (Pro) Luteal-phase alerts give you a heads-up before your hard window starts, so you can plan around it. SEE IF A TREATMENT WORKS (Pro) Started an SSRI, a supplement, or cut caffeine? Prova compares your luteal-phase severity before and after, so you can see what's actually helping. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your symptom data never leaves your device — no account, no cloud storage of your health data, and no third-party analytics on what you log. Back up your record to a file you keep, and restore it on a new phone. Prova is a personal record, not a diagnosis. Always review it with a qualified clinician. PROVA PRO Unlock the report export, luteal alerts, and treatment insights with monthly, yearly (7-day free trial on the yearly plan), or lifetime access. The price shows before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings.
