Your labs came back "normal." You still feel exhausted, foggy, and cold. If that sounds familiar, Thyroid Compass was built for you. Most lab reports flag a result only when it falls outside a very wide reference range. But many thyroid-literate clinicians target much tighter numbers — a TSH under 2.5 rather than under 4.5, for example. Thyroid Compass shows you both, so you can see where you actually stand instead of just being told you're fine. SNAP A PHOTO, GET A REAL EXPLANATION Photograph your lab report and get a plain-English breakdown of every thyroid marker — TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies, plus co-factors like ferritin, vitamin D and B12. The interpretation is tuned specifically for thyroid conditions. It understands T4-to-T3 conversion problems, antibody trends, and why "normal TSH" doesn't always mean "well" — the things generic health apps miss entirely. SEE YOUR MARKERS OVER TIME Every marker graphed across every lab you've uploaded, with two bands overlaid: your lab's reference range, and the tighter optimal range many thyroid specialists aim for. Seeing them side by side is often the moment things click. PATTERNS YOU'D NEVER SPOT ALONE Log a 30-second daily check-in — fatigue, brain fog, cold sensitivity, mood — and the app looks across months of data for connections. Things like "your fatigue climbed the same weeks your Free T3 drifted down." Each insight comes with a confidence label, so you know which patterns are solid and which are just interesting. WALK INTO APPOINTMENTS PREPARED Generate a one-page summary your endocrinologist can read in sixty seconds: your recent labs with changes highlighted, your symptom trends, and specific questions worth asking. Print it or share it as a PDF. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Got years of lab reports sitting in your camera roll? Import up to 20 at once. Each becomes its own dated entry, and your full history graphs immediately. BUILT FOR HASHIMOTO'S, HYPOTHYROIDISM, GRAVES' AND POST-THYROIDECTOMY Tell the app your condition and current medication, and everything adapts — what it flags, what it suggests, how it talks to you. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your labs, symptoms, and notes are stored on your device, not on our servers. Export everything as a file whenever you want. Delete it all with one tap. No ads, no data selling, ever. FREE TO START Track symptoms, upload your first two labs, and see your interpretations at no cost. Premium unlocks unlimited uploads, Action Plans, trends, insights, doctor visit prep, and bulk import. IMPORTANT Thyroid Compass is a wellness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice. AI-generated explanations are educational — always discuss your results and any health decisions with a qualified healthcare provider. Never start, stop, or change medication based on information from this app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your iPhone's Settings.
