Pausely is the private menopause tracker built around the one thing other apps make impossible: logging a hot flash the moment it happens, in a single tap. ONE-TAP HOT FLASH LOGGING Hot flashes hit many times a day, at the worst times. Tap once to log each one, with the time captured automatically. See how many you have had today on a simple timeline, and watch the real pattern build, including how many strike at night. ALL 34 PERIMENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS From night sweats and brain fog to joint pain, anxiety, and the symptoms no one warns you about. Tap what you feel, set the severity, and Pausely quietly builds your picture over weeks. SEE YOUR PATTERN, READY FOR YOUR DOCTOR Clear trends over 30 and 90 days, and a doctor-visit summary that turns months of tracking into real data for your appointment instead of vague recollection. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No ads, no tracking, no cloud. Your symptoms are stored only on your device, and nothing is ever uploaded. Pausely is a tracking tool, not medical advice or a diagnosis. Talk to your doctor or a menopause specialist about treatment.
Marigold

Menopause, on your terms. Marigold is a private companion for perimenopause and menopause — built to help you feel understood, spot your patterns, and walk into every appointment with data your doctor can use. Everything runs on your iPhone. No account, no ads, nothing sold. Try everything free for a month. IT NOTICES WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A gentle weekly reflection reads your week back to you in plain language — what eased, what stepped up, what's worth watching. It only ever says what your own data shows. AN HONEST FORECAST — NOT A GUESS Marigold's on-device forecaster predicts your next period as a range with a confidence level, and tells you honestly when your cycles are too irregular to call — because in perimenopause, that's part of the story. LOG YOUR DAY IN SECONDS Periods and flow, hot flashes and night sweats, 21 symptoms with severity, a one-tap "how was today", and HRT in every form — patch, gel, spray, tablet and more — with dose reminders and running-low refill alerts. A CALMER MOMENT, BUILT IN For the harder moments: paced breathing, a 5·4·3·2·1 grounding exercise, mindful colour-and-draw, a still garden to arrange, an evening "three good things", and a gentle memory game. After a log, Marigold suggests one only when your own recent trend suggests it might help — never a nag. A HEADS-UP FOR THE DAY AHEAD On days when heat and humidity can bring on more hot flashes, Marigold gives a quiet, on-device weather heads-up before you head out. WALK INTO EVERY APPOINTMENT PREPARED One tap builds a clean, doctor-ready PDF: your cycle pattern, symptom burden on the Menopause Rating Scale, HRT and adherence, forecast, flags to raise, and questions to ask. SEE THE PATTERNS BEHIND YOUR DAYS Cycle-length trends, hot flashes and night sweats week by week, your most frequent symptoms, and your symptom burden over time. ON YOUR WRIST, AT A GLANCE An Apple Watch app to check your forecast and next dose, take a minute to breathe, and log a hot flash, symptom or mood in one tap — plus Home Screen widgets, a watch complication, and Siri: "Log a hot flash in Marigold." CONNECTS TO APPLE HEALTH Sleep, resting heart rate, wrist temperature and cycle data can flow in automatically (read-only) to sharpen your forecasts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics. Your data stays on your phone — and only in your own private iCloud if you choose. We couldn't sell your data if we wanted to: there's no server for it.
