## What is Tended?

Track chronic illness without turning your health into homework.

Tended is a privacy-first health journal and symptom tracker for people living with long-term symptoms, pain, fatigue, flares, and appointments that never quite fit into ten minutes.

Log in seconds, notice possible patterns, and prepare for doctor appointments without streaks, guilt, accounts, analytics, data collection, or external servers.

LOG IN SECONDS, EVEN ON HARD DAYS
When thinking is hard, Tended keeps logging light. Record a day rating, symptoms, pain, medications, energy, sleep, mood, bowel changes, food, triggers, activities, periods, photos, and notes at your own pace.

Use Apple Watch, widgets, Siri, the Lock Screen, or the full app when opening your phone feels like too much. Duplicate yesterday, edit only what changed, or describe your day in your own words with optional on-device AI.

BUILT FOR CHRONIC ILLNESS
Tended is made for fluctuating conditions where a normal habit tracker does not fit. Use it as a chronic illness journal, symptom tracker, pain tracker, medication tracker, flare tracker, energy tracking tool, sleep tracking companion, and body map.

Condition starter sets help you begin with relevant symptoms and triggers for fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, lupus, endometriosis, PMOS / PCOS, POTS, EDS, migraine, MS, IBD, PMDD, and many more.

SEE PATTERNS IN YOUR OWN DATA
Your journal can become more useful over time. Tended may help you notice possible links between symptoms, medications, food, sleep, activity, weather, Apple Health averages, menstrual cycle phases, flares, and better days.

Insights are based on what you log yourself. They are self-reported observations, not clinical findings, so you stay in charge of what feels useful.

PREPARE FOR APPOINTMENTS
When brain fog arrives before your appointment, Tended helps you bring the important parts with you. Use Doctor Mode, appointment notes, body map history, medication adherence, symptom trends, focused visual reports, and PDF health reports to explain what has been happening.

Tended+ unlocks longer history, deeper pattern insights, trigger experiments, appointment-ready PDF health reports, focused evidence and care PDFs, and CSV export for people who want to go deeper.

STAY CONNECTED, WITHOUT OVERSHARING
If you choose, Tended can help you share small practical updates with someone you trust through Supported, the carer companion app. Send a quiet check-in, a quick need, or a regular summary without exposing your whole private journal.

FREE FOREVER. NO GUILT.
Every tracking feature is free and unlimited. There are no streaks, no shame, and no "you missed a day" messages.

Tended+ is for people who want longer-term insight and appointment-ready reports. The free journal stays useful on its own.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No analytics. No data collection. No external server.

Your journal lives on your device or in your personal iCloud. Apple Health data is read only when you allow it. Optional on-device AI features run on your device where available; your journal is not sent to Cocoacorn servers.

Use Tended gently, at your own pace. Bring what helps. Leave the rest.

MEDICAL DISCLAIMER
Tended is a personal health journal, not a medical device or clinical tool. It is not a substitute for medical advice or emergency support. Content is based on what you log yourself and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions. Tended does not monitor journal entries for distress. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency or crisis support.

### 5/5 — The Best App

*2026-05-11*

This is the best app I have ever used to to track and help with my pain, symptoms and illnesses. This app has been a game changer and a lifesaver for me. It is so detailed and has everything I need to help me manage my illnesses better!

**Developer response:** 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

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.26 — 2026-09-01

• Tended now pauses optional carer-sharing and compatible-app updates as soon as it leaves the foreground or enters Demo Mode, then resumes safely when active.
• Rapid compatible-app updates now replace older pending work instead of allowing stale summaries to continue.
• These changes reduce discretionary background work while switching apps without changing your journal, sharing choices or permissions.

### 1.0.25 — 2026-08-31

• If Tended cannot open your journal at launch, it now keeps the on-disk data untouched and shows safe recovery guidance instead of closing unexpectedly.
• Reports, Insights, Doctor Mode, PDF comparisons, entry editing and Watch imports now handle duplicate synced definitions more safely, so repeated records do not stop the screen or report you need.
• Tended prevents equivalent custom-field names. Older duplicates that differ only by spacing or letter case are merged while their recorded values stay linked to the retained field.
• iCloud sharing setup now starts only when sharing is used, reducing unnecessary work during normal launches.
• Tended+ now explains clearly that its seven-day trial ends automatically, is not an Apple subscription and cannot charge you.

### 1.0.24 — 2026-08-26

• More Insights now open for everyone with a useful one-month result. Tended+ continues with deeper comparisons, interpretation, and longer history.
• Existing users who previously used deeper Insights receive 60 days of continued access. Tended shows the exact end date in Insights and Tended+ settings; journal data is never changed or removed.
• The Insights hub makes free previews and premium tools easier to distinguish, with one clear continuation instead of repeated upgrade prompts.
• Journal Search, edit cues, filters, day-by-day swipes, and entry choices are easier to find. Dismissed guidance can be restored from Preferences.
• Rating Style and Insight Detail now have dedicated selection screens with interactive previews, so presentation choices are clearer before you select them.
• Larger journals stay more responsive while entry cards and correlation results are prepared.
• Help & Guide now explains free Insights, deeper Tended+ analysis, and the existing-user transition in plain language.

### 1.0.23 — 2026-08-09

• 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.

### 1.0.22 — 2026-07-18

- Start an empty journal with a Quick check-in, then add detail later. If it cannot save, Tended tells you instead of silently moving on.
- A Simple Start now leaves optional Activities and Relief Methods off until you choose to track them.
- Restore checks the selected backup before confirmation and rejects oversized or unsafe archives before it touches your journal.
- Sync details keeps a genuine iCloud issue visible until it recovers, without resurfacing a recovered problem as a warning.
