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.
