PCOS Coach is the data layer your PCOS management has been missing. Unlike generic period apps or expensive telehealth services, PCOS Coach gives you intelligence about your own body — built for the well-researched, skeptical PCOS community. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Generic apps assume predictable 28-day cycles. PCOS Coach doesn't. It tracks your four symptom clusters — androgenic, metabolic, reproductive, and mood — alongside every intervention you're trying, then surfaces what's actually moving your symptoms. DAILY CHECK-IN (under 90 seconds) Rate acne, cravings, brain fog, anxiety, energy, and mood. Log your cycle day and ovulation signs — without false confidence about when you ovulated. PCOS Coach never pretends PCOS is predictable. REAL ON-DEVICE AI PATTERNS (Plus) — NEW After 21 days of data, AI insights show which interventions correlate with symptom shifts: "In the 4 weeks since you started inositol, your craving score dropped 38%." Now powered by Apple's on-device intelligence — private, fast, and written like a knowledgeable peer. Correlation, not causation — clearly stated. Your data never leaves your device. BLOODWORK TIMELINE (Plus) Photograph your Quest or LabCorp results. We extract fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, testosterone, DHEA-S, SHBG, and AMH and plot them over time — formatted like a real medical chart with reference ranges shaded. INTERVENTION TRACKER (Plus) Log supplements, medications, diet experiments, and exercise protocols with start/stop dates. Track what you're taking — and when you stopped. DOCTOR'S REPORT (Plus / Pro) Generate a clean PDF for your endocrinologist or OB-GYN: symptom trends, intervention timeline, and bloodwork values in one document they'll actually read. Pro adds an AI-authored clinical summary, CSV export, and custom sections. NEW IN THIS UPDATE - Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets: your cycle day and top symptom at a glance - Smart reminders: gentle nudges to log, re-test labs, and check your weekly insights - iCloud sync (Plus): your full history follows you across iPhone and iPad - Live Activities & Apple Watch companion (Pro): log from your wrist in two taps TTC MODE If you're trying to conceive, TTC mode integrates LH strips, BBT readings, and cervical mucus observations — with explicit acknowledgment that PCOS makes timing uncertain. No false confidence. CYCLE TRACKING THAT RESPECTS PCOS PCOS Coach tracks ovulation signs without predicting a single ovulation date. Patterns across multiple cycles matter more than any one data point. PRIVACY FIRST Your health data stays on your device and your own private iCloud. AI runs entirely on-device. No PII analytics. No cross-app tracking. PLANS Free: Daily check-in, symptom log, 30 days of history, basic widget Plus: $9.99/mo or $69/yr — AI patterns, bloodwork, intervention tracking, doctor reports, smart reminders, iCloud sync Pro: $14.99/mo or $99/yr — everything in Plus, plus Doctor's Report Pro with CSV export, Live Activities, and Apple Watch Lifetime: $179 — all Plus and Pro features, offered after 60 days PCOS Coach is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Always consult your clinician. Built for cysters, by people who get it. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://brainrash.com/apps/pcos-coach/privacy

Hot flashes rarely pick a good moment: the middle of a meeting, the checkout line, three in the morning. Logging one should take a second, not a form. Tap the big warm circle and it's saved. Add how strong it was or what was happening just before, only if you feel like it. HOT FLASHES, DAY AND NIGHT • Day and night are counted separately, because the ones that wake you deserve their own line • Your week at a glance • Log from the app, from Control Center, or just ask Siri HOW YOU FEEL • A quick daily check-in for sleep, mood, brain fog and joint pain, kept right beside your flashes YOUR HORMONE THERAPY • Add what you use: patch, gel, pills or spray, with estrogen, progesterone or testosterone • Mark when you started or changed a dose, and it appears on the same chart as your flashes • On patches? Set your change days once, and a gentle reminder arrives on your lock screen. Mark it done right there • A calendar of the last four weeks of doses and patch changes YOUR PATTERN OVER TIME • A clear chart of your hot flashes across weeks and months, so you don't have to rely on memory READY FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT • A one-page PDF with daily counts, night episodes, severity, symptoms and your treatment timeline • The first question is usually "how often?" Now you can answer from your own record YOURS ALONE • Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no tracking • If you'd like, your hot flashes can also be saved to Apple Health Hot Flash Log is a journal, not medical advice. It doesn't tell you what to take or when. Treatment decisions belong with you and your clinician. MENO PLUS Optional subscription, monthly or yearly with a 7-day free trial, for longer trends, patterns, the doctor's report and trend widgets. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.
