Make your pain visible. PainMap is a visual pain diary for anyone living with chronic pain. Tap the body map to mark exactly where it hurts, set how strong it is, and see patterns build up over time, so you can talk to your doctor with real data instead of guesswork. WHAT YOU GET • Body map – front and back model, tap a body part and rate it 1–10. Colour shows intensity at a glance. • Trigger insights – PainMap compares your recent pain with what you logged (coffee, poor sleep, stress, stretching…) and tells you what seems to make it better or worse. • Pain streak – how many days in a row you've had pain, and when your last easy day was. • History filters – find records by body part, intensity, pain type or notes. • Medication log – record what you took and whether it helped. • Statistics – weekly and monthly trends in clear charts. • CSV export – hand your history to your doctor or open it in a spreadsheet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your health data stays on your device. No account, no cloud upload, no ads. FREE, WITH ONE-TIME PRO Log as much as you like for free and see your last 14 days of history, stats and exports.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Massage Note at none against PainMap's 1. Massage Note also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.0). PainMap's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
