Perith is a menopause and perimenopause tracker for women who are tired of rebuilding weeks from memory. Log a hot flash in one tap, keep sleep, mood and treatments in one calm record, and walk into your next appointment prepared. LOG IN SECONDS - One-tap hot flash and night sweat logging - A quick daily check-in for heat, sleep, mood and function - Brain fog, anxiety, joint pain, palpitations, low libido and cycle changes - Notes for the details you would otherwise forget WALK INTO YOUR APPOINTMENT PREPARED Perith organizes your entries into a clear view of how often symptoms happened, how they affected your day and which treatments were involved, so the conversation starts from your record instead of a rushed recap. SEE WHAT KEEPS COMING BACK Compare heat, sleep and daily function over time and spot the possible triggers worth mentioning: caffeine, alcohol, late meals, stress. FIND OUT WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS Track HRT (pill, patch, gel or cream), a supplement or a routine change as an experiment. Mark taken or missed days and see what shifted after you started.
