Hot Flash Tracker
Hot Flash Tracker App — Log, Understand, and Report Your Episodes
Track hot flash frequency, severity, and time of day. Spot triggers. Bring 3 months of data to your doctor instead of a guess.
Quick answer
Peri Tracker logs each hot flash with time of day, severity (mild / moderate / severe), and context. After a few weeks, patterns emerge — which times of day are worst, whether triggers like caffeine or stress are involved, and how frequency changes over your cycle. This data can be exported as a PDF report for your gynecologist.

- Women experiencing hot flashes or night sweats during perimenopause
- Anyone trying to identify what triggers their hot flashes

FAQs
What is the best app to track hot flashes?
Peri Tracker is designed specifically for perimenopause symptom tracking, including hot flashes. It logs frequency, severity, and time of day; identifies patterns over weeks; and exports a structured PDF report for doctor visits — features not available in general period trackers.
How do I track hot flashes on my iPhone?
Peri Tracker lets you log a hot flash in under 10 seconds with a severity rating. It automatically tracks frequency over time and shows weekly and monthly trends. No account is required and data stays on your device.
Can tracking hot flashes help my doctor?
Yes. A doctor managing perimenopause symptoms needs to know how often hot flashes occur, how severe they are, and whether they are improving or worsening over time. Bringing 8–12 weeks of logged data — rather than a verbal summary — allows for more accurate assessment and better treatment decisions.
Does Peri Tracker track night sweats separately from hot flashes?
Yes. Night sweats are logged separately from daytime hot flashes so you and your doctor can see how much sleep disruption is occurring and whether it is the primary concern to address.
