Ember vs Solstice Perimenopause Tracker

Ember is the perimenopause tracking app built for women who want data, not pink-washed wellness content. THE PROBLEM WITH EXISTING APPS Period apps are built for fertility. Menopause apps are content-heavy. Neither helps you track the 34+ symptoms of perimenopause, understand your patterns, or walk into a doctor's office with something useful. WHAT EMBER DOES • Daily check-in in 60 seconds — cycle day (or "no period this month"), top symptoms, sleep, mood, energy • One-tap hot flash logger — log instantly, or use Siri: "Log a hot flash in Peri Tracker" • Full symptom library — all 34+ recognized perimenopause symptoms, including the ones you didn't know were related (joint aches, ear ringing, heart palpitations) • Cycle + symptom heatmap — a monthly calendar grid where each day shows your symptom load at a glance • AI pattern surfacing — weekly insights like "hot flashes are 4x more common in the 5 days before each cycle event," computed on-device • HRT & medication tracking — log estradiol, progesterone, supplements; see their effect on your symptoms • Doctor's report — generate a clinician-ready data summary for your OB-GYN or menopause specialist • Evidence library — cited, clinician-reviewed answers to the questions your doctor doesn't have time for NEW IN THIS UPDATE • NEW — Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets, plus a Live Activity that times each hot flash • NEW — Smart reminders that flag your predicted high-symptom window and HRT dose times • NEW — Export your full record as PDF or CSV and share it straight from the app • NEW — Ember Brief: a monthly plain-language AI narrative of how your body changed (Pro) • NEW — Apple Watch companion for wrist-native one-tap logging and a today's-flash-count complication (Pro) • NEW — iCloud sync to keep your multi-year history across iPhone, iPad, and a new phone (Pro) DATA FIRST. NO FLUFF. Numbers are displayed in monospaced type. The hot flash screen reads like a weather report. There are no affirmations, no generic "wellness" tips, no pastel pink anywhere. HEALTHKIT INTEGRATION Ember reads your cycle data, sleep, HRV, and wrist temperature from Apple Health to correlate with your logged symptoms. If you have an Apple Watch Series 8 or later, nighttime wrist temperature data can help auto-detect hot flashes. PRIVACY Your health data is stored on your device. With Pro, it syncs only through your own private iCloud. No advertising. No data selling. No tracking. EMBER PLUS & PRO The free version includes daily check-in, hot flash logging, and 30 days of history. Plus unlocks the full symptom history, AI patterns, HRT tracking, doctor reports, widgets, smart reminders, and PDF/CSV export. Pro adds iCloud sync across devices, the Apple Watch companion, and the Ember Brief monthly AI narrative. Ember is not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat. Always discuss your health with a qualified clinician. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://brainrash.com/apps/peri-tracker/privacy

Solstice is a perimenopause tracker — not a fertility app with a mode bolted on. It expects your cycle to be irregular. It never says "your period is late." It tracks the symptoms women actually experience in the transition — fatigue, brain fog, mood, sleep, hot flushes — in thirty seconds a day. And it turns your own record into the one thing nothing else gives you: a single page your doctor can read in a ten-minute appointment. THE DOCTOR REPORT One page, formatted for a real consultation: your cycle history with the variability shown honestly, your most frequent symptoms with real numbers behind them, your current treatment and how consistently you've taken it, what's changed since you started — and three suggested questions for the visit, drawn from your own data. Edit or redact anything before you share it. It is your record, presented so it can't be waved away. IS IT WORKING? Started HRT, changed a dose, added a supplement? Solstice compares the four weeks before the change with your most recent four weeks and shows you, symptom by symptom, what moved. A record of what you logged — never a medical conclusion. BUILT FOR IRREGULARITY Cycle stats that only count completed cycles, prediction windows instead of false precision, and language that treats a 47-day cycle as normal-for-you — because right now, it is. THIRTY SECONDS A DAY Tap a tile, rate it 1–5, done. No streaks, no guilt, no forty-item checklists. Long-press for detail when you want it: time of day, context, a note. YOUR HEALTH DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No analytics SDKs. Solstice has no servers to send anything to. Export your complete record any time as CSV — free, always — and delete everything instantly. Optional iCloud backup is off until you turn it on, and goes to your Apple account, never ours. FREE FOREVER Symptom tracking, cycle history, trends, your full history, export, and delete-all are free — permanently, no paywall nags. Solstice Pro adds the shareable doctor report (PDF), dose-change comparisons, and labs with custom report ranges: $4.99/month or $35.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Solstice tracks and organizes what you record. It does not diagnose any condition or recommend treatment — bring the record to your clinician; the answers come from them, with your evidence in hand. The turning point of a cycle. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://galeworksllc.com/solstice/privacy/
