## What is Pain Canvas?

Most trackers make you turn pain into a number. Pain Canvas lets you paint it.

Draw exactly where it hurts — the shape, the spread, the intensity — on a body map or your own photo. Pick what it feels like: aching, throbbing, sharp, burning, tingling, pressure. Each type gets its own color, so your history becomes something you can actually see.

YOUR DAY, AT A GLANCE
• Log attacks in seconds, tagged morning / noon / afternoon / evening
• Track the things around your pain: sleep, stress, caffeine, meals, meds, weather
• Streaks and a weekly review keep the habit alive

PATTERNS IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
• Pain Canvas correlates your logs and tells you what it found — "Poor sleep: your pain ran ~80% higher on days you had it"
• Honest statistics: it only speaks up when the signal is real, and it's clear that it's an early signal, not medical advice
• Ask questions about your own history — answered instantly on your phone, no AI, no waiting
• Start a two-week experiment on any suspected trigger and let the data decide

BUILT FOR YOUR DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT
• Generate a clean, printable summary of your history — where, how often, how bad, and what correlates
• Walk in with a picture instead of a memory

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your data belongs to you, synced securely to your account so a lost phone never means lost history
• Photos are stored privately, visible only to you
• Delete your account and every trace of your data any time, right from Settings

Pain Canvas is a self-tracking journal, not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything — it helps you see your own story clearly and share it with the people who can.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-07-26

Your pain journal just became an investigation.

• NEW: Case-opening onboarding — tell us your theories ("what makes it worse?") and Pain Canvas starts testing them against your real logs.
• NEW: Your Theories board — see where the evidence stands on each suspect: testing, agreeing, or helping.
• NEW: The Timeline — scroll your last 90 days of life (meds started, notes, cycle) laid against your pain.
• NEW: Your monthly letter — a short, personal recap of how this month compared to last, and what to watch next.
• NEW: Share "My Pain Story" — a summary image of your month to send to family or bring to your doctor.
• Today's Risk on your home screen when your known suspects are active.

• Drawing and scrolling no longer fight each other. Press and drag to mark; swipe to scroll.
• Body outlines are now front or back — choose a side before you draw, and add a second outline for the other side.
• Fixed: tapping an entry in History or Today didn't open it.
• Entries now need a photo or the body outline before they can be saved.
• History: filter by last 7, 30 or 90 days, or jump straight to a date.
• Today: your streak now sits above the list, which shows five entries with "Load more".
• Weather is back on Today, with the day's conditions and pressure trend.
• Icons redrawn throughout so they display correctly on every device.
• The printed report and setup screens no longer sit under the status bar.
• Clearer evidence language throughout, plus many small fixes.

As always: private to you, synced to your account, and never medical advice — just your own story, made visible.
