You're not imagining it. Emberwell is the perimenopause tracker that actually tracks โ€” built for the moments other apps miss. ONE TAP, MID-HOT FLASH, DONE Log a hot flash the second it happens โ€” with the real time attached. Severity and triggers are one optional tap more. Night sweats? The morning catch-up logs them into the night, where they belong. SEE THE PATTERN, NOT JUST THE DAY Your month as a warmth map: heavier days glow warmer, periods stay visible, irregularity is treated as information โ€” never an error. Cycles that skip months don't break Emberwell; they're exactly what it's built for. YOUR DATA STARTS TALKING Honest, counted insights from your own logs: "Symptoms on 6 of your 8 caffeine days, versus 4 of 14 without." Hot flashes by time of day. The sleep connection. And if you use hormone therapy: a clear before/after of your logged moments since starting โ€” the answer to "is it working?" No scores, no horoscopes. Every insight shows its sample size, and "no pattern found" is a result we'll tell you honestly. WALK IN WITH PROOF Generate a doctor-visit report: exact counts, timing patterns, cycle history, your regimen and adherence, your labs โ€” and the questions you want answered, printed right on page one. Time-stamped records, not recollections. TRACK TREATMENT ACCURATELY Log HRT with real product presets (patches, gels, sprays, pills, rings), get schedule-aware reminders, and keep a lab series (estradiol, FSH, TSH and more) alongside your symptoms. UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING Plain-language explainers for your symptoms and guides to labs, appointments, and treatment options โ€” every claim cited to sources like The Menopause Society, NICE, and the NHS. Educational information, never medical advice. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No server. No analytics. Your data never leaves your iPhone โ€” turn on airplane mode and everything still works. Export everything (JSON + CSV), free, anytime. FREE FOREVER: unlimited logging, daily check-in, current-month calendar, weekly digest, the full education library, HRT tracking and reminders. EMBERWELL PLUS - auto-renewable subscription Unlocks pattern insights, the doctor-visit report, and your full history. - Emberwell Plus Yearly: $49.99 per year, including a 7-day free trial - Emberwell Plus Monthly: $5.99 per month Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
