You used to know how your body worked. Then something shifted. Hot flashes without warning. Night sweats at 3am. The same question, every time: why is this happening? Flare finds the answers. KNOW WHY, NOT JUST WHEN Most apps tell you when your symptoms happen. Flare tells you why. Log each hot flash or night sweat with intensity, duration, and what was happening around it — alcohol, caffeine, stress, poor sleep, spicy food, heat. Over time, Flare builds your personal trigger report: the factors that actually correlate with your worst episodes. You'll walk into your next doctor's appointment with real data, not just a feeling. LOG IN SECONDS · Intensity — rate how severe each episode felt · Duration — how long it lasted · Triggers — alcohol, caffeine, stress, sleep, food, heat, and more · Notes — anything only you would know No fertility charts. No period tracking. No features built for someone else's life stage. YOUR TRIGGER REPORT After a few weeks of logging, Flare's Insights screen shows which triggers correlate with your perimenopause or menopause symptoms — ranked, visualized, and easy to read. See your patterns clearly. For the first time. BRING IT TO YOUR DOCTOR Turn your trigger report into a doctor-ready PDF in one tap — print it, save it, or hand it straight to your provider at your next appointment. Want to share your progress instead? Generate a simple, private summary card with your top trigger and stats. BUILT FOR PRIVACY No account. No cloud.

Pausely is a calm, private place to track perimenopause and menopause: what happened, how strong it was, and how your recorded patterns change over time. Log a hot flash with one hand: open Today, set intensity and optional triggers, then save. WHAT YOU GET - Hot flash quick log: a one tap instant log at typical intensity for the moment itself, or time, intensity from 1 to 5, and triggers for full detail - A real symptom library: 34 symptoms across heat and flushing, sleep, mood, mind and memory, body, skin and hair, cycle changes, and intimate changes, each described in plain language and logged with 1 to 5 severity - Trigger tracking: mark caffeine, alcohol, stress, and poor sleep days with a tap - Daily check in: record your own sleep and energy ratings with an optional note in under a minute - Symptom shortcuts: choose up to three symptoms for one tap logging on Today, with recent symptoms filling open spots - Visit snapshot: see thirty days of hot flashes, symptom entries, daily check ins, treatments, and open appointment questions together before a visit - Your time of day pattern: a clean chart of when your hot flashes tend to happen, morning to night - Night flashes counted on their own: what happened between 10pm and 6am, separated from the daytime total, because it is the number clinicians ask about first - Your month in review: at thirty days, a plain summary of what you logged, when your flashes cluster, which trigger tracked worst, and what changed since the month before - Treatment comparison: once a change has enough logged days on both sides, Pausely compares the same window before and after without claiming a cause (Pro) - Weekly pattern insights computed from your own logs, like "Hot flashes cluster 9 to 11 PM" or "More hot flashes within a day of alcohol" (Pro) - Two-week change radar comparing the latest seven days with the seven days before (Pro) - Treatment tracker: log a medication, supplement, or lifestyle change with its start date, and see an honest before and after comparison of your symptoms (Pro) - Appointment agenda for questions and priorities, included in the doctor visit PDF (Pro) - Cycle-change notes: a dated record of timing, flow, and anything unusual - Doctor visit PDF: symptom frequency by week, severity trends and charts, the hot flash log, trigger patterns, your treatment log with before and after results, and your cycle notes in one clean summary (Pro) - A gentle daily check-in reminder at the time you choose (Pro) HONEST BY DESIGN Insight cards and treatment comparisons only appear after enough real occurrences, and they describe your logs, never a diagnosis. No pattern, no card. FREE AND PRO New customers can save two hot flash or symptom records for free. Trigger days, cycle notes, a daily check in, and the time of day chart remain available. Existing customers keep their earlier allowance and saved data. Pro adds unlimited records across 34 symptoms, complete history, insights, change radar, treatments, appointment agenda, the daily reminder, and the doctor PDF. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Pausely is an informational journal for your own records. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment; bring your summary to a health professional and decide together.
