You are not imagining it. The sudden heat. Waking at 3am. The word that will not come. Periods that arrive early, late, heavy, or not at all. Perimenopause can start in your late thirties and last for years, and most women are told it is nothing, or that they are simply stressed. This app helps you see it clearly. Log how you feel each day in under a minute, watch the patterns appear, and walk into your doctor's appointment with something better than "I just feel off." DAILY CHECK-IN IN UNDER A MINUTE Tap once to log a symptom, tap again to set the intensity. Add how you slept, how stressed you felt, and a note if you want one. No typing required, no long forms. It is designed to be quick enough that you actually keep doing it. A SUMMARY YOU CAN HAND TO YOUR DOCTOR This is the part women tell us they wanted. The app turns your logs into a clear summary written as a letter, addressed to your doctor by name, covering your most frequent symptoms and how severe they usually are, a chart of your symptom load over time, your cycle lengths and how much they varied, and how sleep and stress tracked alongside everything else. Choose three months, six months or everything you have logged, then bring it to your appointment or send it ahead. Ten minutes with a GP goes a lot further when you have the data in front of you. PATTERNS YOU CANNOT SEE FROM MEMORY Insights build as you log. Which symptoms cluster together. How your cycle length is shifting. Whether the bad nights line up with something. The longer you use it, the more it has to tell you. CYCLE TRACKING THAT EXPECTS IRREGULARITY Most period apps assume a tidy 28 day cycle and then tell you that you are late. This one does not. It expects your cycle to become unpredictable, because in perimenopause that is the point, and it tracks the variation instead of complaining about it. UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING Each symptom comes with a short, plain explanation of why it happens during perimenopause. Not a medical library, just enough to put a name to what you are feeling. A GENTLE DAILY REMINDER Set a time that suits you. The reminder skips the days you have already logged, and it is worded like a friend, not a nagging app. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything you log stays on your device and in your own private iCloud, so a new phone gets it back. No account to create, no sign up, no server of ours, no ads, nothing sold to anyone. We never see your symptoms or your notes. SYMPTOMS YOU CAN TRACK Hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, mood swings, low mood, anxiety, heart palpitations, brain fog, headache, joint pain, cramps, bloating, breast tenderness, low libido and vaginal dryness. Plus your period, from spotting to heavy, and your sleep and stress. WHO IT IS FOR Women in their late thirties, forties, and fifties who suspect perimenopause has started, who are already in it, or who are heading into menopause and want to understand their own body instead of guessing. You are not imagining it, and it has a name. SUBSCRIPTION Full access is available through a subscription with a free trial, or as a one time purchase.
