You know something’s wrong — the hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings — but by the time you see your doctor, you can’t remember exactly when or how bad. Flarewise logs any symptom in 3 seconds and shows you the patterns you can’t see in the moment. ULTRA FAST SYMPTOM TRACKER • Open and log in under 3 seconds • One tap to record a hot flash, mood shift, night sweats, pain, or other issues • Optional severity slider and notes on long press, never required • Add symptoms as often as real life demands, all day and night DESIGNED FOR REAL MENOPAUSE LIFE Most trackers feel like an interrogation. Flarewise skips period date puzzles, long questionnaires, and login walls that slow you down. With Flarewise you can: • Log a hot flash before it is over • Capture brain fog, rage, anxiety, and fatigue in the moment • Mark alcohol, caffeine, sleep, sex, or stress as context • Add custom symptoms for your unique experience CLEAR PATTERNS FROM YOUR OWN DATA After a couple of weeks, Flarewise begins to decode patterns so you can see how your body is changing. Insight examples include: • Hot flashes cluster at certain times of day • Symptoms spike on days with less sleep • Flare days follow heavy stress or alcohol • Fatigue drops after a medication change You get simple charts that show trends over days, weeks, and months so you can quickly answer questions like: • Are night sweats getting better or worse? • Is hormone therapy helping with mood and sleep? • Did a new treatment change my pain levels? • How often are bad days really happening? BETTER CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR DOCTOR Go to medical visits with clear records instead of guessing. Use Flarewise to: • Show a calendar of recent hot flashes and insomnia • Share a report of mood swings and anxiety • Review when you started or adjusted HRT or other medication • Discuss concrete goals for relief and wellness BUILT FOR PRIVACY AND CONTROL Your menopause data is sensitive. Flarewise is designed with respect for your privacy. • Your records stay tied to your device account • You choose what to share with doctors or family • Export data when you want a copy for care teams FLEXIBLE MENOPAUSE AND PERIMENOPAUSE SUPPORT Every journey is different.

Monitor how things like these affect you: • Hormone therapy or other treatments • New medication or dose changes • Alcohol, caffeine, and sugar • Work stress and emotional strain • Exercise, movement, and rest WHY FLAREWISE FEELS DIFFERENT • Built around speed, not long forms • Focused on clarity, not guilt or perfection • Respects that some days you can only manage one quick tap You should not have to be your own researcher, but having clean data can change your care.
