Volta is a science-backed menopause companion for women in perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. It puts symptoms, food, workouts, and weight in one place, so you can see what's actually happening. Generic trackers miss the menopause context. Sleep may feel lighter, recovery may take longer, hot flashes or night sweats may disrupt routines, cravings may shift, and muscle matters more than it used to. Volta connects those dots and suggests a practical next step, not just another number to log. And when you finally get that doctor's appointment, you'll have a real log of what you've been dealing with. Volta can generate a shareable summary from your data to bring with you. With Volta, you can: - Track calories, protein, meals, and menopause nutrition patterns. - Follow workout guidance built around strength, recovery, and readiness. - Build muscle with protein-first nutrition and resistance training support. - Log symptoms, sleep, mood, energy, hot flashes, and night sweats. - Connect weight, workouts, food, recovery, and menopause symptoms over time. - Use daily guidance to know when to push, lift, recover, or refuel. - Review weekly trends for calories, protein, workouts, sleep, and body composition. Volta is not a diagnosis tool, medical device, treatment plan, or guarantee of weight loss. It is a menopause-focused tracking and guidance app for women working on nutrition, strength, recovery, and body composition. Volta is free to download. Access to Volta Pro features, including personalized guidance, advanced tracking, trend insights, and protocols requires a separate auto-renewing subscription purchased in the app. Plan options and local pricing are shown before purchase, and subscriptions can be managed or canceled in App Store settings.

About

EmberLog

Features
Read full description

EmberLog is a private menopause and perimenopause companion. Log a hot flash in one tap, check in on your symptoms, track how your treatment responds, and walk into your next appointment with a clear report. SEE YOUR PATTERN Flash load combines how often your hot flashes happen with how strong they are, so one trend shows whether things are easing or building. Daily check ins cover five symptom clusters: vasomotor, sleep, mood, cognitive, and genitourinary. The timeline shows how your cycle and symptoms are changing through the transition. EmberLog never claims to predict a period. KNOW WHETHER TREATMENT HELPS Record hormone therapy and supplement regimens with their start dates. The before and after view compares your own log around each change, so you can see the response instead of guessing. Correlations connect sleep, triggers, and flashes using only your data. WALK IN PREPARED The Menopause Care Visit Report gathers your recent pattern, treatments, and changes into a clean PDF you can print or share with your clinician. The clinical background shown in the app cites its sources on screen: ACOG, The Menopause Society, and the NHS. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your data lives on your device and in your personal iCloud, synced across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. No analytics, no tracking. You can delete everything at any time. ALWAYS AT HAND Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your day at a glance, the Apple Watch app keeps your log close, and everything stays in sync on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. FREE AND PRO Free includes hot flash logging, the vasomotor symptom cluster, and the visit report. A single lifetime unlock adds the remaining symptom clusters, treatment response, and correlations. No subscription, no recurring charges. EmberLog is informational only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always discuss symptoms and treatment decisions with your clinician.
