Musa - The self-care dragon to help reduce PMS and cramps

Launching /Launch date: Wed 19 Feb 2025

We’re thrilled to introduce Musa, a self-care dragon so awesome it makes even non-menstruators wish they had a period! (Yes, that’s the most common reaction we get. 😝).

Why Musa?

While building my last company, I developed an autoimmune thyroid condition due to extreme stress. Every month, PMS hit me like a ton of bricks—crippling anxiety, mood swings, and exhaustion before my period, followed by brutal cramps once it arrived. I was even misdiagnosed with depression, when in reality, stress-induced hormonal imbalances were to blame.

😭 High stress = worse PMS and cramps

I wasn’t alone. Over 80% of people with menstrual cycles experience cramps and PMS (premenstrual syndrome), which can manifest as anxiety, mood swings, and low energy every month. While common, it’s not normal—it’s a sign your hormones are out of balance. One of the biggest culprits? Cortisol, the stress hormone. More stress = worse PMS and cramps.

🧠 Changing habits is hard, and motivation fades fast

Did you know that for people with cycles, brain chemistry can shift up to 25% each month? Motivation-boosting hormones like dopamine and serotonin peak around ovulation, then plummet. This is why daily routines often fail—you’re not the same person every day of the month. Staying consistent with self-care feels impossible when your motivation is constantly changing.

💎 The solution: A self-care game that motivates you through every phase of your cycle

We’ve turned self-care into a fun, engaging game synced to your cycle. You’ll nurture an adorable baby dragon that grows as you complete daily self-care exercises. Plus, Musa’s Hormonscope (backed by science) predicts your mood and energy levels each day, offering personalized tips for workouts, food, and mental well-being—all tailored to your cycle.

🤩 It works!

I was able to nearly reverse my thyroid condition by syncing my habits to my cycle—but it took an enormous amount of effort. Musa makes it 10x easier by keeping you motivated and engaged without burnout. In our closed beta with thousands of users, over 60% use the app daily, and 75% have built a self-care habit lasting 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 an email), and let you delete your data instantly—no waiting, no recovery, no exceptions.

Join us and make self-care a game you’ll love to play! 🐉✨
