Vela helps you track perimenopause symptoms in seconds, notice patterns in your own data, and prepare for more focused conversations with your doctor. Perimenopause can feel confusing: sleep changes, mood shifts, hot flashes, fatigue, cycle changes, brain fog, and symptoms that come and go. Vela gives you a calm place to record what you notice and turn scattered days into a clearer personal summary. What you can do with Vela: • Log symptoms, mood, energy, sleep, triggers, notes, and period context • See your recent history and longer-term patterns • Prepare a doctor-ready summary for appointments • Track what changed without needing an account • Keep your health notes organized on your device Vela is designed for reflection and preparation, not diagnosis. Your logs can help you remember what happened, spot patterns you may want to discuss, and walk into appointments with a clearer picture of your experience. Vela Premium unlocks longer history, deeper insights, appointment prep, and doctor-ready report exports. Vela is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always speak with a qualified healthcare professional about symptoms, treatment decisions, or urgent concerns. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Perimenopause and menopause can be confusing. Some days you feel like yourself. Other days you do not know what your body is doing, or why. Reign helps you make sense of it, in your own words and at your own pace. Everything you log stays on your phone. There is no account to set up and no server holding your data. What you write is yours alone. LOG HOW YOU FEEL, IN SECONDS Tap a symptom to log it. Tap again if it happens more than once. Press and hold to note how strong it was. If a symptom is missing, add your own. If you forget a day, you can fill it in later from the calendar. SEE YOUR PATTERNS Reign shows you which symptoms come up most over the last two weeks, and whether they are easing or building. It keeps your period history too, with the gaps between each cycle, so you can see how things are changing. UNDERSTAND YOUR STAGE A short quiz gives you an honest read on where you might be, from early perimenopause to post-menopause. It is clear about what it can and cannot tell you. No app can predict an exact date, and Reign will not pretend to. KEEP TRACK OF HRT AND MEDICATION Add what you take and log each dose with a tap. Reign shows you how you have felt since you started, so you have something real to look at when you are deciding whether it helps. TAKE IT TO YOUR GP Turn your history into a clear summary for your appointment. It is your record, set out simply, so you do not have to remember everything on the spot. YOURS TO KEEP Your data lives on your phone. Export it to a file whenever you want, move it to a new phone, or delete all of it. There is no copy anywhere else, because there is nowhere else. Reign records and informs. It does not diagnose, predict, or tell you what to take. You know your body. Reign just helps you see it clearly.
