PeriTrack

Read full description

PeriTrack helps you keep a clear daily record of perimenopause symptoms, cycle changes, sleep, heart-rate context, and treatment notes so you can review patterns over time and prepare for health appointments. Log the symptoms that matter in seconds, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood, fatigue, bleeding, sleep, and physical changes. PeriTrack keeps the experience focused on daily tracking instead of complex setup. The calendar view helps you review logged days, cycle context, sleep, and symptom trends. Optional Apple Health access can add sleep and heart-rate context to your local reports when available. When you need to discuss your history with a clinician, PeriTrack can generate a doctor-ready PDF summary from your local logs and optional Apple Health context. PeriTrack is an educational tracking tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Always consult a qualified health professional for medical decisions, treatment changes, or urgent symptoms.

About

Ember

Ember is the perimenopause tracking app built for women who want data, not pink-washed wellness content. THE PROBLEM WITH EXISTING APPS Period apps are built for fertility. Menopause apps are content-heavy. Neither helps you track the 34+ symptoms of perimenopause, understand your patterns, or walk into a doctor's office with something useful. WHAT EMBER DOES • Daily check-in in 60 seconds — cycle day (or "no period this month"), top symptoms, sleep, mood, energy • One-tap hot flash logger — log instantly, or use Siri: "Log a hot flash in Peri Tracker" • Full symptom library — all 34+ recognized perimenopause symptoms, including the ones you didn't know were related (joint aches, ear ringing, heart palpitations) • Cycle + symptom heatmap — a monthly calendar grid where each day shows your symptom load at a glance • AI pattern surfacing — weekly insights like "hot flashes are 4x more common in the 5 days before each cycle event," computed on-device • HRT & medication tracking — log estradiol, progesterone, supplements; see their effect on your symptoms • Doctor's report — generate a clinician-ready data summary for your OB-GYN or menopause specialist • Evidence library — cited, clinician-reviewed answers to the questions your doctor doesn't have time for NEW IN THIS UPDATE • NEW — Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets, plus a Live Activity that times each hot flash • NEW — Smart reminders that flag your predicted high-symptom window and HRT dose times • NEW — Export your full record as PDF or CSV and share it straight from the app • NEW — Ember Brief: a monthly plain-language AI narrative of how your body changed (Pro) • NEW — Apple Watch companion for wrist-native one-tap logging and a today's-flash-count complication (Pro) • NEW — iCloud sync to keep your multi-year history across iPhone, iPad, and a new phone (Pro) DATA FIRST. NO FLUFF. Numbers are displayed in monospaced type. The hot flash screen reads like a weather report. There are no affirmations, no generic "wellness" tips, no pastel pink anywhere. HEALTHKIT INTEGRATION Ember reads your cycle data, sleep, HRV, and wrist temperature from Apple Health to correlate with your logged symptoms. If you have an Apple Watch Series 8 or later, nighttime wrist temperature data can help auto-detect hot flashes. PRIVACY Your health data is stored on your device. With Pro, it syncs only through your own private iCloud. No advertising. No data selling. No tracking. EMBER PLUS & PRO The free version includes daily check-in, hot flash logging, and 30 days of history. Plus unlocks the full symptom history, AI patterns, HRT tracking, doctor reports, widgets, smart reminders, and PDF/CSV export. Pro adds iCloud sync across devices, the Apple Watch companion, and the Ember Brief monthly AI narrative. Ember is not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat. Always discuss your health with a qualified clinician. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://brainrash.com/apps/peri-tracker/privacy
