Musa - A self-care dragon to help reduce PMS and cramps
by•
Stress and hormones? The most toxic relationship. That's why 80% of people with cycles deal with cramps and PMS (mood swings and anxiety before period). We turn self-care into a game you want to play to help you balance hormones and ditch the monthly struggle.

Hello wellness enthusiasts and dragon fans on Product Hunt! 🐉
We're excited to launch Musa, a self-care dragon that is so cool it makes anyone wish they had a period! (Seriously, that’s the most common reaction we get from people who don’t menstruate. 😝).
Why Musa?
While building my last company, I got an autoimmune disease on my thyroid from excessive stress. Every month, PMS hit like a truck—crippling anxiety, mood swings, and exhaustion, before my period and brutal cramps once my period arrived. I was even misdiagnosed with depression when, in reality, hormonal imbalances caused by stress were the real culprit.
😭 High stress = worse PMS and cramps
I wasn't alone. Over 80% of people with cycles suffer cramps and PMS (premenstrual syndrome), which shows up as anxiety, mood swings and low energy once a month. It is common, but it is NOT normal, it’s a sign that your hormones are out of balance. And one of the biggest disruptors? Cortisol, the stress hormone. More stress = worse PMS and cramps.
🧠 Changing habits is hard, motivation fades away quickly
Did you know that for people with cycles, brain chemistry shifts up to 25% every month? Our motivation (dopamine and serotonin) levels peak around ovulation, and then quickly drop. That's why daily routines just don't work, because you are not the same person everyday of the month. Staying consistent with self-care feels impossible when your motivation is constantly fluctuating.
💎 The solution: A self-care game to motivate you in every phase of the cycle
We turned self-care into a game that is synced to your cycle. You get an adorable baby dragon that only grows when you complete your daily self-care exercise. Plus, Musa’s Hormonscope (backed by scientific research) predicts your mood and energy for the day, with personalized tips for workouts, food, and mental well-being—all tailored to your cycle.
🤩 It works!
I was able to almost completely reverse my thyroid disease by syncing my habits to my cycle—but it took an insane amount of effort. Musa makes it 10x easier by keeping you engaged and motivated without the burnout. In our closed beta with thousands of users, over 60% of users use the app daily, and 75% build a self-care habit longer than 4 months.
🔒Data privacy is our obsession, feel free to use anonymously with Guest Mode
We take data security seriously. Your personal info (name, email) is stored separately from your cycle data, so they can’t be linked. We use bank-grade encryption, offer Guest Mode (use the app anonymously without email), and let you delete your data instantly—no waiting, no recovery, no exceptions.
👉 Know someone with a cycle? Share Musa with them!
We’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and dragon name ideas. 🚀
@pamevls_ a reminder that we are not crazy, just cyclical women, and we can welcome our hormones more kindly, thanks for making the app fun and friendly
@pamevls_ Huge congrats on the launch! Excited to see Musa help more people take control of their well-being.

This is a very unique approach. Definitely I'm not the target audience 😅 but perhaps my girlfriend might be interested in this. Huge congrats on the launch and keep up the hard work team!

This is such a refreshing take on self-care. Most cycle-tracking apps just give data, but Musa actually helps build habits in a way that feels fun and natural. Love how it acknowledges that motivation isn’t the same every day, because that’s so real. And the dragon thing is genius. Who wouldn’t want a little creature to grow with them!
Congrats on the launch!
Best wishes and sending lots of wins to the team :) @pamevls_

@onecaseman thank you so much, we would not be here without you :)
Definitivamente con la aplicación eh conocido mejor mi ciclo menstrual, los tips tanto de alimentación, como de ejercicio y de habitos han hecho que muchos de los SPM sean más llevaderos; y no solo los sintomas, sino todas las emociones que experimentamos en cada fase de nuestro ciclo. Definitivamente es una aplicación que todas las mujeres debemos tener en nuestro cel, esta es una de las aplicaciones que beneficia a nuestra salud. ¡¡Felicidades Pam y a todo el equipo!!.

@liz_vazquez gracias Liz!!!!
