About

Pause

Read full description

When your days feel different, it helps to have somewhere to keep track. Pause brings your menopause and perimenopause journal together: symptoms, sleep, mood, meals and daily routines. KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR DAYS Log how you feel, record hot flashes, and keep notes you can return to later. REMEMBER YOUR MEALS Save a meal photo and a short description. Add how you felt afterwards to build your own record over time. MAKE ROUTINES EASIER TO FOLLOW Create, edit and remove routines that fit your day. See what you recorded alongside them without assuming one caused the other. SEE PATTERNS IN YOUR ENTRIES Explore recorded trends and comparisons. Prepare questions for your healthcare professional. Your journal cannot diagnose a condition or prove what caused a symptom. KEEP YOUR JOURNAL ON YOUR DEVICE No Pause account is required. Journal records stay on your device, without a Pause server database or automatic syncing between devices. Export a copy when you want to keep or share it. OPTIONAL APPLE HEALTH CONNECTION Choose whether to allow read access in Apple Health. Keep tracking manually without connecting. ON-DEVICE AI, WHEN AVAILABLE Optional AI chat and summaries use Apple's on-device model on supported devices with iOS 26 or later and Apple Intelligence available. Availability depends on hardware, settings and model readiness. Core tracking, calculated insights and guides work without AI. AI can be wrong and does not replace professional advice. SUBSCRIPTIONS Pause Premium requires a subscription. Eligible new subscribers receive a 14-day free trial. Available plans, prices, trial eligibility and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Payment is handled by Apple. A trial converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings. Deleting Pause does not cancel your subscription. Pause is a wellness journal, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional about symptoms and treatment decisions.
