Bring your clinician a clear report of the last 30, 90, or 180 days—not a rushed attempt to remember months of symptoms. Pattern turns quick daily check-ins into a clean, shareable PDF, and your intimate health data stays on your iPhone. Log hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, cognition, body changes, irregular bleeding, and possible influences in under 30 seconds. There are no cycle predictions and no fertility assumptions—just a record of what happened. SEE PATTERNS, HONESTLY Follow symptom trends across 30, 90, or 365 days. Pattern only surfaces associations after enough paired observations and always labels them as patterns worth discussing, not causes or diagnoses. ARRIVE PREPARED Create a monochrome-friendly doctor report with symptom averages and trends, hot-flash and sleep summaries, cycle gaps, notable patterns, and your questions. AirDrop, print, save, or email it using the iPhone share sheet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no server, no advertising, and no analytics SDK. Your entries stay on-device unless you choose to export or share them. Export everything as JSON or delete everything at any time. Optional Face ID/passcode protection is available. Pattern includes optional read-only access to sleep duration and heart rate from Apple Health. It works completely without Health access and never writes Health data. A subscription is required after your first check-in. Annual and monthly plans include a 14-day free trial for eligible subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account after confirmation and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Apple ID subscription settings. Pattern is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Share this information with your clinician.

MigraLoom

Read full description

Migraine days are already hard. Remembering every detail later shouldn’t be. MigraLoom is a calm, private migraine tracker that helps you capture what happened, understand the patterns in your record, and arrive at appointments with a clearer picture. LOG THE ESSENTIALS Start an episode in seconds, then add details when you feel ready. Record intensity, timing, symptoms, triggers, pain location, medication, and notes without forcing yourself through a long form in the moment. SEE YOUR PATTERNS Review frequency, duration, intensity, recurring symptoms, and the details that stand out across your history. MigraLoom reports only what your records show—without presenting guesses as medical conclusions. PREPARE FOR APPOINTMENTS Turn your entries into a structured visit summary. Choose a time period, review the clearest signals, and prepare a PDF you can share with your doctor when you decide. BETWEEN EPISODES Optional check-ins help add context to migraine-free days, giving you a more complete record instead of remembering only the difficult moments. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No MigraLoom account is required. Your migraine journal and health details remain stored on your iPhone. MigraLoom does not sell your data or use advertising trackers. You control when and where an exported summary is shared. MigraLoom is an informational self-management tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional about a medical condition or treatment. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
