The Best App
Response from developer
Thank you. This kind of message is what keeps me building. Tended started because the app I needed for someone in my family didn't exist, so it means a lot that it's working as hard for you. Geoff

This health journal helps you track chronic illness symptoms, pain, and daily well-being. Log entries quickly, even on difficult days, and identify potential patterns to better prepare for doctor appointments. It's designed for fluctuating conditions and prioritizes your privacy.

• Doctor Mode now separates Appointment Summary from a priority-aware Timeline that keeps flagged events and medication taper changes visible alongside appointments and representative low days. • German language support (beta) is now available across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, widgets, shortcuts, notifications, Help, and reports. • Appointment editing is safer: reminders update only after changes are saved, save failures remain recoverable, and duplicate appointment markers are suppressed while reconciliation finishes. • Moving Tended to the background no longer forces a last-second journal-summary database write, reducing work during app switching while scheduled updates continue normally. • Backup restore and iCloud reconciliation are more reliable, reducing duplicate journal entries, appointments, and Major Events. • Labels across insights, reports, widgets, and imported mood notes now follow your selected language more consistently. Where available, on-device AI text follows that language too. • Tended now supports iOS and iPadOS 18 plus watchOS 11, with private on-device voice entry across supported iOS versions. • Connected Apps gives you a default-off choice to share a local journal summary with compatible apps on the same iPhone. • A new What’s New screen highlights important changes after an update and remains available under More > Support > What’s new. • Peripheral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is now the 68th condition starter set, with relevant symptom suggestions and no condition-specific food or trigger defaults.
