The first nutrition app built specifically for hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. Not another calorie counter — a system that understands your condition, your medication, and your symptoms. > YOUR PLAN FROM DAY 1 A 32-screen medical-behavioral quiz learns your condition, medication, symptoms, diet, and goals. Every answer calibrates which foods to prioritize, which myths to debunk, and how to organize your day. You don't get a generic plan — you get yours. > MEDICATION TIMING ENGINE Calculates to the minute when to take levothyroxine vs coffee, calcium, iron, or food — the interactions that half of patients don't know about and that sabotage medication absorption. Hard rules, no AI, no hallucinations: the only feature with 100% medical certainty. > FOOD VALIDATOR Type or scan any food and in 3 seconds it classifies it into 4 tiers: Supportive, Cautionary, Profile-dependent, or Myth — with evidence grade and the reasoning behind it. Cuts the "does this hurt me?" anxiety at the root with citable answers. > WEEKLY MEAL PLAN A weekly meal plan filtered by your profile — celiac status, AIP, avoided foods, cooking level. Every recipe includes macros, steps, and substitutions. Eating well for your thyroid without thinking — what to cook today is already decided. > DAILY LOG + CORRELATION ENGINE Log your symptoms (energy, brain fog, mood, sleep) and meals. After 14 days, the engine finds real correlations between what you eat and how you feel: "gluten drops your energy 38% the next day." Discoveries impossible to make by gut feeling — your body turned into data. > LAB RESULTS Upload a photo of your blood work and the app extracts TSH, T3, T4, anti-TPO and other markers, graphing them over time. Stop digging through old PDFs in your email — see your thyroid trajectory like a dashboard. > LEARN — EVIDENCE-BASED LIBRARY Curated articles (EN/ES) on thyroid, nutrients, and myths. Every claim shows a visible evidence grade (Strong / Moderate / Emerging). Anti-TikTok: real medical information, not influencer advice. > AI COMPANION A 1-on-1 chat that answers nutrition and lifestyle questions with strict medical guardrails: never says "cure," "treat," or "reverse," and redirects every clinical question to your doctor. An assistant in your pocket, without misinformation. > HOME & DAILY TRACKING A hub that brings together your next medication, today's meals, your streak, and shortcuts to the food validator and daily log. Push notifications for exact medication timing. Open the app and know what to do in the next 5 minutes. > YOUR DATA IS PRIVATE Your health data is encrypted and never shared with third parties. We don't sell data. Period. Download free and get your personalized thyroid plan in under 5 minutes. > APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health to sync your steps, activity, sleep, weight, and resting heart rate. Thyra lines them up with the symptoms you log so you can see how your body and your thyroid move together. You choose what to share — it's only used inside the app, never for ads. ---------- Subscription ---------- Thyra is free to download.

Finally understand why you feel the way you feel. Thyself is the thyroid tracker for Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Graves' and post-surgery patients. Log symptoms, medication timing and meals in about 10 seconds a day, then walk into your next appointment with the evidence your labs alone can't show you. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Track daily symptoms, energy and brain fog in 10 seconds • Describe a symptom in your own words and confirm the matches before anything is saved • Log your thyroid medication and supplements with timing • After you take your dose, see countdowns for coffee, breakfast, and calcium or iron, with optional reminders • Log meals in your own words and spot triggers like gluten, soy, dairy, and caffeine or calcium near your medication • Track TSH, Free T3, Free T4, antibodies and more • Keep a thyroid ultrasound log for scan dates, gland volume and nodule sizes (Thyself does not interpret scans) • Turn on optional cycle tracking, off until you choose it and kept out of AI features • Build streaks, rings and badges that keep you consistent • Generate an appointment brief from your own logged data WHY THYSELF IS DIFFERENT Most health apps are generic trackers. Thyself is built for thyroid patients. We understand medication timing windows, absorption blockers like caffeine, calcium and soy, the autoimmune nature of Hashimoto's, and the gap between how you feel and what your labs say. FREE TO START Everything above is free, including one AI-generated insight and one appointment brief per month, built from your own logged data. AI features are optional and always ask your permission first. THYSELF PRO • Unlimited appointment briefs • Share your brief before your visit • Full lab trend charts • Your complete symptom history, not just the last 30 days • Fresh AI insights every week as your data changes • A symptom and lab card when a symptom keeps showing up while your TSH is in range, so you can raise it with your doctor Choose Monthly, Annual, or Lifetime. New subscribers get a 14-day free trial on Monthly and Annual. Lifetime is a one-time purchase that unlocks all features for good. BUILT BY A THYROID PATIENT Thyself was built by someone who lives with Hashimoto's disease and got tired of generic wellness apps that don't understand what we go through. Every feature exists because a real thyroid patient needed it. Your data is stored securely, and you control what you share with your doctor. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Monthly and Annual plans renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. If you start a free trial, you are charged when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Otherwise, payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings under Subscriptions. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew. Thyself is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Always consult your doctor before making health decisions.
