You're not imagining it. The 3am wake-up. A heart that suddenly races. A full night of sleep that still leaves you flat. Perimenopause can make nights hard to make sense of — and Apple Watch can leave you with numbers but no clear picture. Perigee brings five Apple Watch readings into one clear morning view: HRV — the small changes in time between heartbeats — resting heart rate, sleep, wrist temperature, and breathing rate while you sleep. Each is compared with what’s usual for you. No athlete score. No mystery grade. WHAT YOU GET EVERY MORNING • A useful morning explanation: what changed, what likely contributed, and one practical suggestion. • Five Watch readings in one place, each beside what’s usual for you. • A plain note when the Watch missed part of the night or needs more nights for a fair comparison. No guessing. TRACK WHAT YOU FEEL • Log a symptom in ten seconds — hot flashes, night sweats, racing heart, brain fog, low mood, poor sleep. • Keep a simple HRT log and see your notes beside your Watch readings over time. Perigee never tells you what to take or change. SEE THE PATTERNS • See which symptoms and Watch readings happened on the same nights. Open the dates, counts and missing nights behind each Pattern. • Export a clean, doctor-ready PDF to bring to your next appointment. WHY PERIGEE IS DIFFERENT Perigee is made for perimenopause and menopause, when sleep, night sweats, brain fog, hot flashes, a racing heart or low mood can be hard to explain. It keeps your symptoms, HRT notes and Apple Watch readings together, so you can see what changed, what repeats, and what to bring to your doctor. FREE, AND FAIR Your Watch readings and history are free, forever. So are symptom and HRT logs. The free plan includes up to one morning summary a week and three a month. Perigee Plus unlocks a useful explanation every morning, full weekly reports, and doctor-ready PDF export. AN HONEST WORD ON WHAT THIS IS Perigee is a wellness and self-knowledge companion, not a medical device. It does not detect, diagnose, or treat menopause or any condition, and it does not give medical or medication advice. It shows your own Watch readings and symptom log so that you — and your doctor — can review them together. Always talk to a qualified healthcare professional about symptoms, treatment, or any decision about HRT. SUBSCRIPTION Perigee Plus is an auto-renewing subscription available as a monthly or annual plan. Eligible new subscribers can start with a 7-day free trial; the Apple purchase sheet shows the offer available to your account. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

You're not imagining it — now you have dates and readings to bring with you.
Shh.Kit
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Shh.Kit app helps girls feel prepared for and confident about their first period. It provides facts about body changes, period-related symptoms and products, and tracks monthly cycles so users aren’t caught off guard when their periods arrive. It also provides parents peace of mind through transparent, accurate information. A COMPANION TO THE PHYSICAL SHH.KIT The Shh.Kit App is the digital companion to The Shh.Kit — a period starter kit — created by girls, for girls. Co-founders Grace and Lydia launched the company at eleven years old before starting fifth grade. The idea was born out of frustration when they couldn't find a convenient, on-the-go period kit for their backpacks. Realizing that their friends were going through the same thing they created The Shh.Kit. The app works completely on its own — you don't need to buy anything. Any link out of the app sits behind a parental gate. Prepared with Purpose. For every kit purchased, we donate to children experiencing housing insecurity at Horizons for Homeless Children. FEATURES • Clear, age-appropriate answers about first periods, cycle length, flow, cramps and mood changes — written for girls aged 11 to 14 and not adapted down from adult material. • A guide to menstrual products: pads, tampons, period underwear and more, so she can work out what suits her. • A private cycle tracker for flow, symptoms and mood, with a gentle estimate of when her next period might arrive. • Optional reminders three days before and the day before, so you can pack your bag rather than be surprised. • A short quiz that teaches rather than tests — a wrong answer explains the right one. BUILT FOR PRIVACY, NOT AROUND IT There is no account and no sign-up. There are no analytics, no advertising and no third-party tracking of any kind. The app makes no network requests at all — it works fully in airplane mode. Everything you log is only stored on your personal device. We cannot see your data because we never receive it. Delete the app and it is gone. CYCLE INSIGHTS Early cycles are irregular, and the app states this. Rather than a confident countdown that leads to questioning whether your body is “normal”, Shh.Kit shows a date range which becomes more precise as more cycles are logged. Throughout, anything that warrants medical attention points you to a parent, guardian, school nurse or healthcare provider. This app is a companion to those conversations, not a replacement for them. DISCLAIMER: Shh.Kit is an educational app and a companion to conversations with a parent, guardian or healthcare provider. It does not provide medical advice.
