## What is Flare Trail?

Flare Trail is a private tracker for IBD.
Log bowel movements with the Bristol scale, mark pain and symptoms, and see your month color-coded by severity at a glance. Find the rhythm in your symptoms, spot what triggers a flare, and bring honest data to your next GI appointment.
Built for people who already know they need to track. No streaks. No nagging. No medical jargon you have to decode.
What you can do
• Log a movement in four taps — consistency, pain, symptoms, save
• See your whole month color-coded by severity, like a weather forecast for your gut
• Tap any day to review every entry, with notes
• Track severity and frequency over time in the Trends view
• Generate a clean PDF summary for your doctor
Built around the Bristol Stool Scale
The same 1–7 scale your gastroenterologist uses. Pain on the same 0–10 scale clinicians know. Flare Trail speaks your care team's language so the data you log is data they can use.
Your data stays yours
Flare Trail uses your private iCloud to sync across your iPhone and iPad. We never see your data — there's no server, no account, no analytics. Your symptoms are nobody's business but yours and your doctor's.
Designed to disappear
The whole app is built around a single principle: when you're in a flare, the last thing you need is friction. Open, tap, log, close. The calendar, the trends, the doctor export — they're all there for the days you want them, and out of your way the rest of the time.

Flare Trail is a tracking tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical advice.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-07

New Widgets and improved logic to correlate stress with flares

### 1.1 — 2026-06-06

- Insights: Pauta now spots patterns in your data and explains them in plain language: flare days compared to last month, day-of-week trends, symptom highlights, and good-day streaks. They appear on the Trends tab, with a quick highlight on your calendar. Don't want them? Turn them off anytime in Settings.
- Clearer trends: Entries-per-day bars are now colored by severity, so frequency and how rough each day was read at a glance. The Severity chart adds a 7-day average line to show which way things are heading.
- Easier on the eyes: Smaller chart points and smarter scaling keep longer date ranges and calm, low-severity stretches from feeling crowded.
- Polish: Refined chart interactions and a handful of small fixes.
