When weeks blur together, Perith helps you keep the details. Track hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, daily impact and treatments as they happen. When an appointment arrives, your record is already there. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK - Hot flashes & night sweats - Sleep disruption - Mood changes & brain fog - Cycle changes - HRT and other treatments - Personal triggers and patterns - Optional Apple Health context (sleep, heart rate) MADE FOR APPOINTMENT PREP Perith organizes your symptom history into a clear summary you can review with your doctor, so decisions are based on your actual data instead of a rushed recap. TRY WHAT HELPS Log simple experiments — a supplement, a bedtime change, a new routine — and see whether your symptoms actually shift over time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays yours. 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.

It's 3:12am. You didn't set an alarm, your body did. Your heart is racing and nothing is wrong. So you lie there and run the list again. The shoulder that seized up for no reason. The word that vanished in Tuesday's meeting. The ear you can't scratch. The night you were drenched, then freezing ten minutes later. He's asleep next to you. He thinks you're losing it. Some mornings you agree with him. You went to the doctor about it. Twice. Took the afternoon off, drove in, paid, sat down, and got "probably stress" and a leaflet in eight minutes. Your bloods came back fine, which somehow made it worse. So you stopped asking. Now you read the groups at 3am instead, where every second post is a woman going "is anyone else?" and two hundred women underneath saying yes. Here's what nobody said in either appointment. You weren't wrong. You just had nothing to show them. A feeling and a bad night is easy to call stress. Six months of nights, dated, in your own words, isn't. Emberpause is that record. TALK, DON'T TRACK Tell Flick what happened the way you'd tell a friend. "Soaked again at 3am, couldn't get back off till 5." She drafts the check-in, shows you what she noticed, and you tap confirm. Nothing goes on your record without you. Some nights you'd rather tap than talk, so there's a 60 second check-in too. Both land in the same place. SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHERE YOU WERE IN MARCH Flick answers from your record, not from a generic article. Ask her at 3am whether this is new or whether it was worse in March, and she knows, because she was there. Nobody else in your life holds that timeline. Not eight minutes with a GP, not the group, not him. THE REAL TREND, NOT A FEELING Every week you get a short letter about what your pattern is actually doing. The 3am wake-ups landing on the same days as the racing heart. The fog worst the week before your period, when you get one. Things you can't see from inside them, because you're too tired to look. ONE TAP. ONE PAGE. A DIFFERENT APPOINTMENT. Your symptoms, your timeline, your own words, the questions worth asking, dated. You hand it across the desk. It's hard to say "probably stress" to six weeks of evidence, so the eight minutes go on what to do about it instead of you telling the story from memory, nervous and out of order. That's the appointment that goes somewhere. And the one after it is the one you don't have to book. ALL 48 SYMPTOMS, EXPLAINED CALMLY Most women can name four. The other 44 are the ones you've been apologising for. Itchy ears. Electric shocks. Burning mouth. Frozen shoulder. What it is, why hormones do it, what tends to help, and when it needs a professional tonight rather than a hormone label. WHERE YOU LIVE MATTERS Tell Flick your country once. What's true in the US isn't always true in the UK or New Zealand, and she reflects it. YOUR RECORD STAYS YOURS It lives on your phone. No account. We never sell your data. When you talk to Flick, your message and the slice of your record needed to answer it go to our server and on to our AI provider. Our server keeps none of it. The provider doesn't train on it. You've learned to distrust health apps, and you were right to, so here is exactly where your words go. FREE FOR 7 DAYS All of it. Cancel anytime, and your record is still yours. You said "I miss me." She didn't go anywhere. She's been running on four hours' sleep with no explanation. Let's get her one. Our goal for 2026 is to help one million women understand what their own body is doing. Tonight, you're one of them. Flick explains and remembers. She doesn't diagnose, and she'll tell you plainly when something deserves a doctor tonight. Emberpause does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always talk to a qualified health professional about your symptoms. Emberpause Plus auto-renews until cancelled in Settings.
