## What is FlareCast?

If your fitness tracker thinks you're broken, you're using the wrong app.
  
FlareCast was built by someone living with Sjögren's syndrome, for people with chronic illness. Instead of a step goal that shames you on bad days, FlareCast gives you one honest number: your capacity for today. It's calculated from how you slept, your symptoms, fever, stress, hydration, and check-ins. A 30% day is a 30% day — the app tells you that, and tells you why.
  
Behind that number, FlareCast quietly tracks what your doctor wants to see at your next appointment:
  • Symptom load over time
  • Fever trends, with a flag at 100.4°F
  • Medication adherence
  • Sleep, resting heart rate, and HRV from your Apple Watch
  • Hydration against your goal
  
Tap one button and FlareCast generates a clean PDF you can email your specialist before your visit. 

Gentle by design. Log from your wrist by answering a reminder, no need to open the app. Soft colors instead of alarm-red. Miss a few days? It welcomes you back instead of guilt-tripping you. 
  
Private by default. Everything stays on your iPhone. No account. No cloud. No tracking. No data sold...ever. FlareCast reads from Apple Health; it never writes to it and never sends your data anywhere.
  
What you can track:
  • Wellbeing, symptoms, stress, body temperature, hydration
  • Medications with day-of-week scheduling and reminders
  • Blood pressure and glucose
  • Free-form notes with photos
  • Period start/end with a calendar and predictions
  
  Built for autoimmune conditions like Sjögren's, lupus, and RA, useful for anyone living in a body that needs listening to.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-27

Housekeeping this time. A few small fixes under the hood, and nothing you need to do differently.

One new thing you might notice eventually: FlareCast may ask what you think of it. If it does, it will pick a day when you have the room for it, and it will not ask again for a long while.

### 1.5 — 2026-08-18

Medication logging got a lot more careful this release.

If you tapped Take on a reminder that had been sitting in your notifications a while, and you had already logged that dose in the app, FlareCast could record it twice. It now checks whether that scheduled dose is already on your list, so a stale reminder stops quietly doubling things up. If you really did take a second dose, tap Take in the app and it will ask first.

A dose saved with the wrong time could also make a medication impossible to log for hours, with nothing on screen saying why. That is fixed.

Also in this update:

Your Today card now names the symptoms it is talking about instead of saying "a symptom is up".

FlareCast now notices the symptoms that never let up, not just the ones that spike, and says when one is worth mentioning to your doctor.

Refill reminders can be answered. Got it, Refilled, or remind me tomorrow.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-07

Make the home screen yours. Drag cards into your own order, or hide the ones you don't use (Customize dashboard in the top-right menu). Your capacity score always stays on top.
Log sleep as exact hours and minutes, no more decimals.
Tapping a reminder now takes you to the right place: check-ins open the check-in, refill reminders open that medication.
A new pattern: how your days start compared to how they end.
Thank you for being here. Your feedback shapes every update.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-07

Mark a medication as "as needed" (PRN) for anything you take only when you need it, with no schedule and no reminders.
Set a quantity per dose, so "200 mg x2" shows on the medication and in your records.
New: an optional Local weather chip. Turn it on in Settings and FlareCast can check barometric pressure against your flare patterns.
Backdate a sleep entry and it now counts toward that day's capacity, like every other backdated reading.
Reliability: fixed a double-tap that could log a dose twice, reminders for weekly and monthly medications no longer stop after a stretch, marking a dose as skipped now shows as skipped, and correcting a period's end date updates cleanly.
The home screen rolls over properly at midnight, and the free doctor report now includes your symptoms, fever, and blood pressure.

Thank you for being here. Your feedback shapes every update.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-01

Log any reading for an earlier time. Every manual entry (blood pressure, glucose, temperature, weight, blood oxygen, heart rate, and sleep) now has a When option, so you can backdate a reading you took earlier or on a past day.

FlareCast now follows your phone's rotation, so you can use it in landscape.

Your home screen refreshes at midnight, so the day's cards roll over even if you leave the app open.

Fixes and polish throughout.

Thank you for being here. Your feedback shapes every update.
