## What it does
- One-tap symptom notes (hot flash, foggy, poor sleep, overwhelmed) plus notes in your own words, with the original date kept.
- Doctor appointment preparation: choose a main concern, up to three questions and the notes to share; preview, edit, save as PDF, print or share.
- Search earlier notes by date (7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year) and record when something changed, such as a treatment your clinician prescribed.
- An animated story garden that grows with each saved note: 8 chapters, 16 collectible flowers, 15 milestones. No streaks; a break never removes progress.
- Low-Capacity mode, VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion support.

## Pricing
- Free: logging, history, search, visit briefs, PDF export, reminders, encrypted backup and deletion. Records are never hidden.
- Optional Premium (auto-renewing monthly or annual Apple subscription) adds comparisons, Replays, advanced briefs, Playbooks, a yearly Passport and extra garden looks. Current prices are shown in the app.

## What it is not
- It does not diagnose menopause, infer your stage, recommend treatments or doses, or claim one thing caused another. It is a personal organization and general wellness tool.
