Meet your menopause coach. Ask about night sweats, sleep, mood, cravings or the 3pm slump, day or night, and get answers that know your symptoms, your plan and how your week has gone. If you are doing everything you have always done and your body keeps moving the wrong way, it is not a willpower problem. Perimenopause and menopause change how your body responds, and most apps were built for an average body. Plait is built for yours. WHAT YOU GET • Plait Coach. An AI coach that already knows your symptoms, your goals and how your week has gone. Ask about cravings, the 3pm slump, broken sleep or stress, and get one small, practical next step. • A meal plan built around you. Your week of meals is planned around your symptoms, conditions, allergies, medications and tastes, with a grocery list built from it. • Snap your plate. Photograph a meal and Plait estimates what is on it and scores it for your body, with the reasons it fits. Estimates are clearly labelled and easy to correct. • See your own patterns. A quick daily check in for mood, energy and symptoms. After 21 days, Plait shows which meals line up with your hot flushes, bloating or low energy, in your own data. • Workouts for your body. Short home sessions with no gym needed, screened for your conditions and life stage. • Syncs with Apple Health. Steps, sleep, weight and heart rate come in automatically. • People who get it. Share wins, questions and honest tips with women going through the same things. BUILT FOR YOUR STAGE OF LIFE Perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, alongside PCOS and endometriosis, plus pregnancy and breastfeeding. Plait also tracks the symptoms that come with them, like hot flushes, night sweats, bloating, poor sleep, low energy and brain fog, and plans around all of it together. HONEST BY DESIGN • No generic 1,200 calorie default, no "good" or "bad" foods and no shame. • You see the price before you pay, and you can cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. • We never sell your health data, and you can export or delete everything from inside the app. If you are reading this at 3am, you are not the only one. Start tonight with a plan built for the body you have now. Plait is an educational nutrition tool, not medical advice. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. Talk to your doctor or midwife before changing your diet, exercise or medication. SUBSCRIPTION Plait requires a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm your purchase.

Bring your clinician a clear report of the last 30, 90, or 180 days—not a rushed attempt to remember months of symptoms. Pattern turns quick daily check-ins into a clean, shareable PDF, and your intimate health data stays on your iPhone. Log hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, cognition, body changes, irregular bleeding, and possible influences in under 30 seconds. There are no cycle predictions and no fertility assumptions—just a record of what happened. SEE PATTERNS, HONESTLY Follow symptom trends across 30, 90, or 365 days. Pattern only surfaces associations after enough paired observations and always labels them as patterns worth discussing, not causes or diagnoses. ARRIVE PREPARED Create a monochrome-friendly doctor report with symptom averages and trends, hot-flash and sleep summaries, cycle gaps, notable patterns, and your questions. AirDrop, print, save, or email it using the iPhone share sheet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no server, no advertising, and no analytics SDK. Your entries stay on-device unless you choose to export or share them. Export everything as JSON or delete everything at any time. Optional Face ID/passcode protection is available. Pattern includes optional read-only access to sleep duration and heart rate from Apple Health. It works completely without Health access and never writes Health data. A subscription is required after your first check-in. Annual and monthly plans include a 14-day free trial for eligible subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account after confirmation and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Apple ID subscription settings. Pattern is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Share this information with your clinician.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pattern at none against Plait's shown. Plait's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
