Damson

Damson for iPhone

The meal companion for PCOS.

Damson reads your plate, asks how it sat, and shows you your own patterns. Built for PCOS, now also called PMOS.

Damson's Today screen. A companion note reads: yesterday you said full, how is today treating you, with a suggestion to log a usual wholegrain bread.

Damson is not on the App Store yet. Leave your email address and we will tell you once, on the day it is there.

One email when Damson launches, and nothing else. No newsletter unless you ask for one later, and you can reply at any time to be removed.

Damson is not medical advice. It helps you notice your own patterns, and your clinician is still the person to talk to about treatment.

From a photo to your own pattern

  1. Damson's review screen for a plate of rice, beans and vegetables. It says every weight below is our estimate, and each food carries an editable weight in grams above the line that it is an estimate you can change.

    You photograph your plate. Damson names what it sees, with weights that always say about, and you can correct any of them.

  2. Damson's read of a plate of rice, black beans and greens. A paragraph in serif says the plate taken in the gentler order asks very little of you and that the amounts are yours throughout, with the carbohydrate marked as not read.

    Then comes the read: what this plate means for you, on this day, in plain sentences.

  3. A pattern built from her own check-ins, saying that in nine of her twelve meals where protein was on the plate she recorded feeling fresher, over twelve days, with a button to view the source meals and check-ins.

    Weeks of your answers become patterns you can open, each one built from your own records.

A read, not a number.

After you log a meal, Damson tells you what the plate means for you: your cycle day, your goals, your past reactions. Estimates always say about, and you can correct them.

Damson's read of a plate of lentil soup, salad and bread. A paragraph in serif says the carbohydrate arrives whole and does not arrive alone, that a plate like this asks very little of you, and that last time this plate she said settled after.

It remembers how it sat.

A few hours later, Damson asks one small question. Your answers become your own record of what suits you, receipts included.

A check-in sheet titled in a word, offering four answers about a meal: settled, full, tired, and craving.

Yours stays yours.

Your records live on your phone. If you turn on syncing, they travel through your own iCloud, not our servers. Questions you ask are stripped of anything that identifies you.

Damson's ask screen, explaining that the questions read your own records on this phone and that nothing leaves it to answer them.

How Damson works with the science

Every claim the app makes carries a citation to peer-reviewed research, and you can open the paper from inside the app. Where the evidence is thin or still argued over, Damson says so instead of rounding it into confidence.

The same rule holds for everything we publish here. How we source claims, how we grade evidence, and how we handle a correction is written down in our editorial policy.

Not on the App Store yet.
