Perith is a menopause and perimenopause tracker for women who are tired of rebuilding weeks from memory. Log a hot flash in one tap, keep sleep, mood and treatments in one calm record, and walk into your next appointment prepared. LOG IN SECONDS - One-tap hot flash and night sweat logging - A quick daily check-in for heat, sleep, mood and function - Brain fog, anxiety, joint pain, palpitations, low libido and cycle changes - Notes for the details you would otherwise forget WALK INTO YOUR APPOINTMENT PREPARED Perith organizes your entries into a clear view of how often symptoms happened, how they affected your day and which treatments were involved, so the conversation starts from your record instead of a rushed recap. SEE WHAT KEEPS COMING BACK Compare heat, sleep and daily function over time and spot the possible triggers worth mentioning: caffeine, alcohol, late meals, stress. FIND OUT WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS Track HRT (pill, patch, gel or cream), a supplement or a routine change as an experiment. Mark taken or missed days and see what shifted after you started. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. Your log is stored on your iPhone. Perith does not sell your information or use it for advertising. Limited, anonymized product-usage analytics are processed by TelemetryDeck to improve the app. Symptoms, journal notes, treatment details, appointment notes, exported reports, and Apple Health data are not sent in these analytics. Read our Privacy Policy for details. BUILT FOR THE TRANSITION Perith is not a fertility tracker, pregnancy app or period-prediction tool. It does not diagnose or recommend treatment. It helps you keep an honest record to discuss with your clinician. PERITH PLUS Free to start: daily logging, 14-day patterns and one active experiment. Perith Plus adds 30- and 90-day patterns, unlimited experiments, custom symptoms, Apple Health sleep and heart-rate context, and an exportable doctor report. The annual plan starts with a 1-week free trial for eligible new subscribers. Subscriptions: Perith offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions (Perith Plus Monthly and Perith Plus Annual). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account and subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://ylemos-inc.com/privacy
