Meno Log
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hot flash tracker and menopause symptom log. Every hot flash, with the time it actually happened. Pay once, no subscription. Most menopause apps only let you say "I had hot flashes today". That is not what your doctor needs to see. Meno Log saves each flash as its own moment: tap the circle, choose how strong it was, done. Two taps, exact time โ and you can correct the time later for the one that woke you at three in the morning. LOGGED IN TWO TAPS โข One big button for a hot flash โ the time is saved for you โข Nine more symptoms: night sweats, sleep, mood, brain fog, headache, fatigue, palpitations, joint pain, plus your own โข Three levels of intensity, an optional note, full edit and delete YOUR DAY AND YOUR NIGHT History shows every day with flashes split into daytime and night, so the pattern is visible at a glance. A REPORT IN A MINUTE Two weeks, one month or three months โ share it as text or as a CSV file your doctor can open in any spreadsheet. NO ACCOUNT. NO CLOUD. No sign-up, no server, no ads, no analytics. Everything stays on this iPhone. ONE PAYMENT, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Logging is never limited. Your first 14 days open everything; after that, today and your last 7 days stay free forever. One purchase unlocks your full history and doctor reports forever. Meno Log is a personal journal. It does not diagnose, does not interpret your entries and does not give medical or treatment advice. For anything about your health, talk to your doctor.
Campfire, From Below

Lie on the ground by a campfire and look up. The stars above you are the real ones, for where you are and the minute it is. The fire is at your feet. Look down and it fills the view: flames, glowing logs, a ring of stones. Look up and its sparks drift into the sky, and the heat above the flames makes the stars over it shimmer. Past the fire, the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds, the moon in its actual phase, all seven planets and the meteor showers are all where and when they really are. 5,044 stars, down to magnitude 6, plus the best clusters, nebulae and galaxies. The land is real too. The hills and ranges on the horizon are worked out from open elevation data for about 130 km around, with the curve of the earth, so the moon comes up over the actual ridge. Tap the skyline and it tells you how far away it is and how high, and at the built-in places, the name of the hill or mountain. The sound is made as you listen: the low lapping of the flames, crackle, hiss and snaps, a log settling, wind in the gums, crickets and a boobook owl somewhere off in the dark. Nothing here is a recording. The flames, sparks, smoke, gum trees and every sound are generated on your device as it runs, and it works offline. WHAT YOU CAN DO Start with Sleep tonight (eight hours, fades out), Stargaze (three hours with the sky guide) or Just watch (no timer) Three modes: Sleep, Stargaze and Fireside Point your phone at the sky and the stars on screen follow it Find any named star, all 88 constellations, the planets and the best clusters, nebulae and galaxies, while you're lying back See through the ground to the stars on the other side of the world (ten free goes) Tonight: what's up where you are, the next meteor shower and when the planets meet A note on the nights a good meteor shower peaks Tap a star, a planet, the moon, the fire or the skyline to find out what it is Constellation lines and names when you want them The real sky in Brisbane or from where you are, now or tonight A sleep timer with a slow fade at the end Keeps going with the screen locked, with play and pause on the lock screen Text up to twice the size, Reduce Motion, higher contrast and VoiceOver labels No account, no ads, no tracking Made for falling asleep, stargazing and sitting by the fire. Made in Brisbane. PRO Pro adds nineteen more places under their own skies, any night you choose, the open plain, a fire that burns down through the night, light pollution and moon settings, more meteors, the sound mixer, saved setups, stills, the sky numbers, unlimited see-through ground, a note when the moon comes up over the ridge, and links that share a night with a friend. It is a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription (A$2.99 a month or A$19.99 a year in Australia; prices differ by country), or a one-off lifetime unlock (A$39.99). Subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and can be managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings.
