You don't have time to turn your health into a project. Aurora does it for you. Every morning, Aurora reads your sleep, recovery, and energy — from Apple Health and your wearable — and hands you one thing to focus on today. Not a dashboard. Not forty numbers to decode. One clear move, in a brief that runs under a minute and you can listen to while the kettle boils. Aurora is built for women who are done being their own health project manager. Perimenopause, broken sleep, stress that won't quit — Aurora watches the patterns so you don't have to, and tells you what actually matters this week. Meet Ava, your concierge. Ask her anything — "why am I so tired?", "what should I eat tonight?" — and she answers from YOUR numbers, not generic advice. What you get: • A Daily Brief every morning — one priority, explained • Reads Apple Health and Oura automatically — no new device to buy • Ava, an AI concierge that knows your data and your goals • Cycle-aware guidance through perimenopause, with one tap for a hot flash or a night sweat • Aurora Age — how old your body is behaving, and the habits moving it up or down (Premium) • A home-screen widget with your score at a glance Aurora is not a tracker. We don't hand you data and wish you luck. We make the call — so you can get on with your day. — Wellness, not medicine — Aurora is a wellness app, not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat anything and does not replace your doctor. Not a contraception tool. Cycle phases are estimates. — Subscription — Aurora's full concierge is a subscription (prices shown in the app). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions auto-renew unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions.
