About

Ember

Features
Read full description

Ember is a perimenopause symptom tracker built for this transition, not adapted from a period tracker. A minute a day, and a report your doctor can actually use. A DAILY CHECK-IN, BUILT FOR PERIMENOPAUSE Tap the symptoms that showed up today, from hot flashes and night sweats to brain fog, low mood and joint aches, and rate how strong they were. Add sleep, habits, bleeding and HRT. It takes about a minute. There are no fertility prompts and no cycle predictions, and a missed day breaks nothing. A REPORT FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT Ember turns what you log into a clear summary for your doctor or specialist: which symptoms came up most, how intense they were, and your monthly check-in score. Share it as a PDF, print it, or show it on your phone. SEE HOW THINGS CHANGE Trends shows each symptom over the past week, month or three months. Once a month, a short check-in asks how much each symptom has bothered you, and your score shows which way things are moving. HRT REMINDERS ON YOUR SCHEDULE If you take HRT, set a quiet reminder on the days and at the time that suit you. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH If you choose, Ember fills in last night's sleep and the day's workouts from Apple Health. It reads them on your phone and never writes to Health. WHAT YOU LOG STAYS ON YOUR PHONE There is no account to create and no Ember server holding your logs. They leave your phone only when you share a report or a backup yourself. Ember sends anonymous usage counts and crash reports, which never include anything you log. ORGANIZED, NEVER DIAGNOSED Ember doesn't diagnose, explain causes or give medical advice. It organizes what you log, so you and your doctor can decide what it means. SUBSCRIPTION Ember is $6.99 a month, or $49.99 a year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is taken through your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.
