How Threshold began

Threshold began the way a lot of good things do — with someone paying attention.

It didn't start with a business plan. It started with watching someone close move through perimenopause and menopause, and noticing how little there was to meet her there. Plenty of noise, plenty of products, plenty of advice — but almost nothing that felt considered, private, or genuinely on her side.

What was missing

The advice online was loud and certain, and rarely the same twice. What she actually wanted was kinder: somewhere to notice how she felt, keep a little record without pressure, and feel prepared rather than dismissed when she saw her GP.

She needed somewhere that would simply help her keep track, and take her seriously.

So we built it

Threshold is that place. Daily notes, with no streaks. A reading whenever she asks, telling her what has been showing up and what shifted after something new, never a diagnosis. A clear summary to carry into an appointment. Everything private, on her own device, unless she chooses otherwise. Nothing to keep up with, and nothing to fail at.

The name says the rest. The change isn't a fault to be fixed — it's a threshold, a passage from one part of life to the next. We wanted to build something that treats it that way: patient, respectful, and kind. It's shaped far more by listening than by telling.

If any of this sounds like what you've been looking for, we'd love for you to try it.

Threshold is not a diagnostic tool, and not a substitute for a doctor or practitioner. It helps you notice and remember, and it keeps the record for whoever you choose to show it to.

A doorway, not a diagnosis.

A patient companion for the change — private, and entirely your own.
