EmberLog
Read full descriptionHide full description
EmberLog is a private menopause and perimenopause companion. Log a hot flash in one tap, check in on your symptoms, track how your treatment responds, and walk into your next appointment with a clear report. SEE YOUR PATTERN Flash load combines how often your hot flashes happen with how strong they are, so one trend shows whether things are easing or building. Daily check ins cover five symptom clusters: vasomotor, sleep, mood, cognitive, and genitourinary. The timeline shows how your cycle and symptoms are changing through the transition. EmberLog never claims to predict a period. KNOW WHETHER TREATMENT HELPS Record hormone therapy and supplement regimens with their start dates. The before and after view compares your own log around each change, so you can see the response instead of guessing. Correlations connect sleep, triggers, and flashes using only your data. WALK IN PREPARED The Menopause Care Visit Report gathers your recent pattern, treatments, and changes into a clean PDF you can print or share with your clinician. The clinical background shown in the app cites its sources on screen: ACOG, The Menopause Society, and the NHS. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your data lives on your device and in your personal iCloud, synced across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. No analytics, no tracking. You can delete everything at any time. ALWAYS AT HAND Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your day at a glance, the Apple Watch app keeps your log close, and everything stays in sync on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. FREE AND PRO Free includes hot flash logging, the vasomotor symptom cluster, and the visit report. A single lifetime unlock adds the remaining symptom clusters, treatment response, and correlations. No subscription, no recurring charges. EmberLog is informational only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always discuss symptoms and treatment decisions with your clinician.

Kinteba is a daily logbook for people living with long-lasting symptoms. You log your day in about thirty seconds, on a five-level scale: none, a little, moderate, a lot, maximum. No text to write, no forms. A day when everything is as usual takes a single tap. YOU DON’T START FROM A BLANK PAGE The first time you open the app, you pick your starter kit from twenty-four: fibromyalgia, migraine, endometriosis, ME/CFS, long COVID, Crohn’s, Hashimoto’s, lupus, osteoarthritis… or you go with the free-form kit. The trackers that go with it are already in place, and you change them as you like. Six are shared by all kits: fatigue, difficult night, sleep duration, low mood, nervous tension, brain fog. WHAT YOU CAN LOG • How you feel today, and the trackers you add yourself • Pain pinpointed on a body map, front and back • Your treatments, at set times or as needed, and the doses you actually took • Meals and context: coffee, gluten, alcohol, night away from home, major event… • Your menstrual cycle, if you turn it on • Your sports or other activities • The day’s weather and pollen, recorded automatically WHAT KINTEBA SHOWS YOU From 14 logged days on, the app looks for coincidences between what you log and how you feel. It only shows a pattern if it holds for 2 weeks in a row, and tells you simply: “The level of ‘Fatigue’ is noticeably higher on days with ‘Coffee’. Compared over 23 days with and 20 without.” These are patterns in your own entries. Not causes, not advice, never a diagnosis. THE DOCTOR SHEET In one tap, Kinteba prepares a page to put on your doctor’s desk: the period, what keeps coming back, the doses, your questions. It’s all made on your phone, and you choose what goes out. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account. No server. No ads. Your entries are stored on your phone, and nowhere else. You can export all your data as CSV at any time, and take your journal to another phone in a file encrypted with a passphrase only you know. FREE, AND PAID Free: unlimited logging, full history, the body map, treatments, charts and CSV export. Kinteba Plus unlocks automatic patterns across all your factors, experiments, weather and pollen, the PDF doctor sheet, appointment preparation and advanced trends. A one-week free trial, then a monthly or yearly subscription, or a lifetime purchase. Kinteba is not a medical device. It records and displays what you log. It doesn’t replace your doctor.
