It's 3am. You're wide awake. Again. Hot flashes. Brain fog. Mood swings you can't explain. A body that feels like it's changing faster than you can keep up with. You've googled your symptoms a hundred times and still feel alone in this. I built peripal because I was that woman. This app came from my own perimenopause journey. The sleepless nights, the confusion, the frustration of not finding something that actually helped me understand what was happening. peripal is an app from a woman in perimenopause, for women in perimenopause. Your peripal. Track your symptoms: hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, irregular periods, fatigue, sleep problems, and more. See your patterns. Understand your cycle changes. Ask anything, any time, with an AI guide built around perimenopause and menopause. You don't have to figure this out alone. peripal is not a medical device and does not provide diagnoses or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical concerns.
