Rings
Read full descriptionHide full description
Rings is a timer, a journal and a tracker for people who meditate on their own. No audio guides, no feed, no account — a bell, silence and an honest record of your time. Every session is a ring Instead of bar charts, Rings draws a tree slice. You sat for twenty minutes — a new growth ring appears. The longer the session, the thicker the ring; morning sessions are paler, evening sessions denser; today's ring is red. A week is a twig, a month is a slice, a year is a trunk — something you want to keep growing. Timer • Presets from 5 to 30 minutes, a custom duration up to 3 hours, or an open-ended session • A warm-up before the start, a bell at the start and the end, interval bells • Works with the screen locked; a pause leaves a visible mark on the ring • Save your own presets Journal • A note, a technique tag and how you felt before and after — shown as a line, not a number • Search, filters by tag and period, manual entries for sessions without the app • Export to CSV Rings • The slice for the month, the year and all time; tap a ring to open its entry • Totals, averages, streaks with one rest day a week so a single miss does not break it • Share your slice as a picture for your feed or stories Lessons • The Basics course: ten short chapters — posture, breath, the wandering mind, body scan, metta, habit • Each lesson ends with a "Practise" button that starts the timer with the right settings Also • Apple Health: mindful minutes are written after each session, with your consent • Gentle reminders: a daily one at your time and an evening one if you have not sat today • iCloud sync across your devices; your data never leaves your Apple account • Light and dark "paper and ink" themes Rings Pro unlocks all sounds and interval bells, presets, the year and all-time slices, sharing, full statistics with tags and search, all ten lessons and CSV export. Free users keep a fully working timer and journal. Rings is a tool for habit and practice, not a medical product.

Celsia is a perimenopause and HRT tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. It reads what your Watch already records, keeps a log of your symptoms and treatments, and makes a one-page report your provider can read in thirty seconds. YOUR NIGHTS, WITHOUT TYPING With your permission, Celsia reads sleep, heart rate variability, resting and overnight heart rate, and wrist temperature from Apple Health, and compares each night with your own usual range, never with anyone else’s. Each morning, Today sums up last night in a sentence and marks anything outside your usual. On iOS 27, Celsia reads the stage you set in Apple Health, and symptoms you log there count too. ONE TAP TO LOG Log a hot flash, night sweats or any of more than 20 symptoms with one tap, and hold a symptom to set how strong it was and when. Log from the Lock Screen, Control Center, Siri or your Apple Watch without opening the app. The symptoms and bleeding you log also go to Apple Health wherever it has a matching type, and what you’ve already logged in Apple Health counts too. If you still have periods, log bleeding and spotting and see the days since your last bleed, with no predictions. EVERY FORM OF THERAPY Estrogen patches, gels, sprays and tablets, progesterone, vaginal estrogen, rings, IUDs, testosterone, non-hormonal treatments, and your own entries. Reminders understand twice-weekly patches and cyclical progesterone, suggest the next patch site, and arrive as time-sensitive notifications with Taken, Snooze and Skip. Your next dose can also wait on the Lock Screen. Every dose change is marked on your timeline. A REPORT FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT One tap makes a PDF on your iPhone: your current therapy and how often you took it, symptoms per week, your nights against your usual, what changed after your latest dose change, bleeding, and the questions you want to ask. Share it, print it or save it. With Celsia Pro (in-app purchase), it adds pages with every symptom, dose and note. Add the date of your next appointment and Celsia can remind you the evening before. TRENDS AND PATTERNS Trends show the last four weeks of your nights and symptoms against your usual range, and what changed after your latest dose change. With Celsia Pro (in-app purchase): twelve weeks to a year, every earlier dose change, and pattern cards that show when symptoms line up with your nights, your cycle or your therapy, each with its numbers and a “Why am I seeing this?” note. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no sign-in. No analytics, no ads, no tracking and no third-party SDKs. Apple Health data never leaves this iPhone. Nothing is sent to us. Export what you’ve entered, or delete everything, at any time. CELSIA PRO, AN OPTIONAL IN-APP PURCHASE Celsia Pro is an auto-renewing subscription sold as an in-app purchase: $39.99 a year with a 14-day free trial, or $6.99 a month. Pro adds the full report with a day-by-day grid, unlimited report history, trends past four weeks, every earlier dose change, pattern cards, and your choice of device for sleep and heart rate variability. Logging, the therapy log, reminders, widgets, the Apple Watch app, the one-page report, what changed after your latest dose change, and exporting everything you’ve entered are free. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.

It does not diagnose, and it does not recommend treatments or doses. Decisions about your care belong to you and your provider.
