Read full description

PeriWise is a private companion for perimenopause and menopause. Track how you actually feel โ€” hot flushes, sleep, mood, brain fog, joint pain and more โ€” and watch the patterns emerge over weeks and months. When you next see your doctor, bring a clear PDF summary instead of trying to remember. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE No account. No sign-up. No server. No tracking. No ads. Your entries live in an encrypted database on your device, and PeriWise has no way to read them. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Log symptoms in seconds, with the six that matter most to you on the home screen โ€ข Track your cycle โ€” period days on the calendar, and an estimate of when the next may start โ€ข Record medication and supplements, with reminders scheduled on device โ€ข Note measurements including weight, blood pressure and blood sugar โ€ข Connect your Oura Ring or Apple Watch โ€” nightly temperature, sleep, heart rate and stress land on the same charts as your symptoms โ€ข See trends and connections across symptoms, sleep and mood โ€ข Read plain-language guidance on what is happening and why โ€ข Create a doctor-ready PDF report โ€” always free โ€ข Log from your Apple Watch when your iPhone is not to hand โ€ข Lock the app with Face ID โ€ข Export and import your data if you change device ABOUT THE CYCLE ESTIMATE Perimenopausal cycles are irregular by nature. The estimate is for orientation only. It is not a contraceptive method and must not be used to prevent or plan a pregnancy. SUBSCRIPTION PeriWise is free to download โ€” and logging is free forever: symptoms, cycle, medications, measurements, Apple Health and Oura sync, and the doctor-ready PDF report. PeriWise Premium, โ‚ฌ1.49 per month or the equivalent in your local currency, unlocks personal insights and the 30- and 90-day trend views. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

About

FlashCount

Features
Read full description

FlashCount answers a different question than most menopause apps: not "fill out today's check-in" but "log this hot flash and get back to your day." One tap starts a record โ€” no multi-step form, no required fields, nothing to type unless you want to. WHAT IT DOES โ€ข One-tap logging: tap once and a hot flash is logged instantly, with the time recorded automatically. Add a severity level or tag a trigger afterward if you want to โ€” nothing is required up front. โ€ข Patterns, at a glance: a 14-day chart, a time-of-day breakdown, a night-versus-day count, and a severity and trigger summary, all on one screen โ€” no scrolling through a diary to see what's changed. โ€ข Six triggers: coffee, alcohol, spicy food, stress, exercise and heat. Tag any of them on a flash in a couple of taps. โ€ข Doctor report: a clean 4-week or 12-week summary โ€” total count, daily average, night flashes, severity split, top triggers and a weekly trend โ€” built to screenshot and bring to an appointment. โ€ข 44 achievements: streaks and consistency badges for keeping the habit going, not for how many hot flashes you have. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER FlashCount has no sign-up and no account. Every flash you log, every trigger you tag and every setting stays on your device โ€” there is no server to lose it to, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. FLASHCOUNT PREMIUM FlashCount is a premium app: logging, patterns and the report are part of FlashCount Premium. โ€ข Weekly, monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription โ€” new subscribers get a discounted first week on the weekly plan โ€ข Or a one-time lifetime purchase โ€” pay once, keep it Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. FlashCount is a personal log for tracking and sharing what you notice. It does not diagnose, treat or monitor any medical condition โ€” always talk to a doctor about menopause symptoms and treatment.
