About

ElliesNote

Living with CFS or ME means navigating a body that doesn't follow the same rules. Energy is unpredictable, symptoms shift day to day, and keeping track of it all can feel like another drain on what little you have. ElliesNote is a symptom and energy tracker built specifically for people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It's designed to ask as little of you as possible — because on the days when logging feels like too much, that's when it matters most. LOG YOUR DAY Rate your energy on a simple 1–5 scale and tap the symptoms you're experiencing: fatigue, brain fog, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, dizziness, nausea, or sleep disturbance. Add a note if you want. Log multiple times a day. Morning and evening reminders help you stay consistent without having to think about it. CRASH DAYS On hard days, tap "I'm Crashing Today." It's tracked separately from your regular entries and shows up clearly across your history — no need to force it into a log note. INSIGHTS The Insights screen shows how your energy and symptoms trend over 7, 14, or 30 days. Useful for spotting patterns, understanding your limits, and sharing data with a doctor or specialist. APPLE HEALTH Connect to Apple Health and ElliesNote automatically pulls in your sleep duration, resting heart rate, HRV, and step count. See how they correlate with your energy without entering a thing manually. YOUR HISTORY Browse your logs month by month. See which days you logged, which you missed, and which were crash days — all in one place. ELLIESNOTE PREMIUM Unlock the full picture: • Personalised energy insights • 14-day and 30-day trend charts • Apple Health sync (sleep, HRV, resting HR, steps) • Full calendar history, month by month • 30-day missed-day tracking Try Premium free for 7 days, then choose monthly or annual billing. Cancel anytime in App Store settings. Built with care for the CFS/ME community.
