Question 1

What is perimenopause?

Accepted Answer

Perimenopause is the transition phase before menopause, when your body's hormone levels — especially oestrogen — begin to fluctuate. It can start in your late 30s or 40s and last anywhere from a few years to over a decade.

Question 2

How is Sulu different from other health trackers?

Accepted Answer

Most health trackers are designed for general fitness or period tracking. Sulu is built specifically for perimenopause — it tracks the symptoms that matter during this transition alongside lifestyle factors. The daily check-in takes about 30 seconds.

Question 3

What symptoms can I track?

Accepted Answer

Sulu currently supports over 20 perimenopause-specific symptoms, grouped into categories like vasomotor, cognitive and emotional, sleep and energy, musculoskeletal, and reproductive health.

Question 4

How long does the daily check-in take?

Accepted Answer

About 30 seconds. You rate each symptom with a quick tap and optionally log lifestyle factors like stress, exercise, and sleep.

Question 5

What is the doctor export?

Accepted Answer

The doctor export generates a clean PDF summary of your symptom history — including averages, trends, and lifestyle factors. Instead of trying to remember what you've been experiencing, you can hand your doctor a clear, structured record.

Question 6

Is Sulu free?

Accepted Answer

The core app — daily check-in, symptom tracking, timeline view, and doctor export — is free. Supplement and HRT tracking is a premium feature available with a subscription.

Question 7

What about my privacy?

Accepted Answer

Your health data is yours. We don't sell it, share it with third parties, or use it for advertising. Sulu is offline-first, meaning your data lives on your device first. You can delete everything at any time.

Question 8

Does Sulu work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sulu is built offline-first using PowerSync. You can do your daily check-in without an internet connection, and your data will sync automatically when you're back online.

Question 9

What platforms is Sulu available on?

Accepted Answer

Sulu is available now on Android via Google Play. The iOS version is currently in App Store review — it'll be available soon.

Question 10

Is Sulu medical advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Sulu is a personal tracking tool, not a diagnostic or treatment service. Always consult your doctor for medical decisions.

Question 11

Can I track supplements and HRT?

Accepted Answer

Yes — supplement and HRT tracking is available as a premium feature. Log supplements, HRT regimens, and dosages alongside your symptoms. HRT tracking includes reminders and feeds into your doctor report for correlation.

Question 12

How soon will I see patterns?

Accepted Answer

Most people start seeing meaningful patterns after 2 to 4 weeks of daily check-ins. The more consistently you track, the clearer the picture becomes.

Question 13

Will Sulu replace my doctor?

Accepted Answer

No. Sulu is a tracking tool that makes the conversation with your doctor better, not unnecessary. It gives you a clear record to share — your doctor still makes the clinical decisions.

Question 14

I'm not sure if this is perimenopause — can I still use Sulu?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You don't need a diagnosis to start tracking. Many women use Sulu to understand what's changing before they see their doctor. A clear symptom record is useful whether or not you have a label yet.

Question 15

What if I forget to track for a few days?

Accepted Answer

That's completely fine. Gaps don't break anything. Even inconsistent tracking builds a clearer picture than trying to remember everything at your next appointment.

Question 16

Who made Sulu?

Accepted Answer

Sulu was built by a small team who saw how hard it is to explain perimenopause symptoms from memory. We wanted to make something simple, private, and genuinely useful — not another app that tries to sell you things.
