MindFlo helps you understand the connection between your menstrual cycle and your mental health. Many people notice their mood, anxiety, sleep, or focus shifts at certain points in their cycle, but this pattern often goes unnoticed or unaddressed in day-to-day life and in conversations with providers. MindFlo makes that connection visible. How it works Log your daily symptoms alongside your cycle phase in just a few taps. Over time, MindFlo builds a clear picture of your patterns, so you can recognize what's cyclical and what isn't. Why it matters Understanding your own patterns can help you: - Anticipate difficult days before they arrive - Have more informed conversations with your provider - Separate cycle-related symptoms from other changes - Feel less caught off guard by shifts in mood or energy Simple, honest pricing MindFlo is a one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no recurring charges, no forgetting to cancel. Built by a clinician MindFlo was created by a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, grounded in research on how hormonal shifts affect psychiatric symptoms. MindFlo is a self-monitoring tool intended to support awareness and communication with your care team. It is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace professional medical advice.

Glowm is your personal soundscape mixer. Blend white noise, nature sounds, city noises, chill beats, and real artist soundscapes into a mix that's entirely yours, then watch the whole app bloom with the colors of your sound. A LIVING GLASS ORB Your mix, visualized. Every sound has a signature color, and the orb (and the entire app) shifts to match your blend. Silence rests in deep purple; sound blooms everything into color. MIX AND BLEND FREELY • 60+ sounds across six collections • Color noise: white, pink, brown, blue, violet, and green • Nature & life: rain, thunder, creeks, crickets, and an owl waking up • City life: coffee shops, wet streets, and NYC nights • Chill beats: lo-fi loops cut to the same bar, so stacked beats stay locked together • Binaural beats: Delta, Theta, and Alpha tones (best with headphones) • Soundscapes: ethereal beds of choir, lunar pads, and starlight ARTIST SOUNDSCAPES Real artists, released as stems you can remix. Fade the layers of one composition in and out; everything stays locked to the pulse. MADE FOR SLEEP AND FOCUS • Runs all night, with Lock Screen and AirPods controls • One-tap quick mixes: Sleep, Focus, Chill, Meditate, and more • Save favorites and bring them back in a tap • A built-in night light: pull down and the orb fills the screen QUIET BY DESIGN No ads. No account. No tracking. A generous free library, sound packs at $1.99 each, and Glowm Unlimited ($3.99/month or $19.99/year) for everything, including every sound we ever add.
