Feeling overwhelmed by your health? Bearable is the symptom tracker that helps you work out what makes your symptoms, pain, migraine and mental health better or worse, so you can feel more in control. Join over 2M patients & doctors using Bearable to manage symptoms, pain, migraine, mood, medication and mental health. FIND YOUR TRIGGERS Most people arrive with one question: what is making my symptoms worse? Log how you feel in a few taps a day, and Bearable shows the correlations between your symptoms and your sleep, food, weather, stress, medication and habits, so you know which triggers to avoid. NOT SURE WHERE TO START? No diagnosis or plan needed. Rate how you feel, add a symptom or two, and Bearable suggests what to log next as your symptom diary grows. PAIN, MIGRAINE AND HEADACHE TRACKER Record pain levels, where the pain is and how long it lasts. Log migraine frequency and severity, spot the warning signs before a migraine attack, see which migraine treatments help, and learn which triggers reliably set off your headaches. The pain tracker is used every day by people managing chronic pain, migraine, arthritis, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, joint pain and back pain. MENTAL HEALTH AND MOOD TRACKER See whether your mental health is changing over time, not just how today feels. Log mood, energy, stress, sleep and anxiety alongside what is going on in your life, and see how work, exercise, social plans and the weather shape your mental health. The mental health tracker is used by people living with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD and OCD, and by anyone wanting a clearer picture of their mental health. CHRONIC ILLNESS, FATIGUE AND FLARE-UPS Log flare-ups, pain, crashes and good days to see what leads to each.

MEDICATION AND TREATMENTS Log medication, supplements and treatments, then see whether they are working for your pain, migraine or mental health and whether they cause side effects. The medication tracker also sets reminders so you never miss a dose or a diary entry.

Train Your Mind. Perform When It Matters. HeadCoach is the mental performance system that develops the skills your physical training doesn't. Built on neuroscience and structured for competitive athletes, it gives you a daily programme to build confidence, focus, resilience, and self-control. The same skills determine who performs under pressure and who doesn't. WHAT YOU DO EVERY DAY Your day starts with a 5-minute check-in. Log how you're feeling, assess your energy, and set your focus for the session ahead. Then open your daily performance strategy - a specific, actionable task matched to whichever of the 8 skills you're developing that day. After training or competition, complete a structured reflection: text or voice. The app guides you through a sport-specific review that builds self-awareness over time - not a journal, not a diary, a guided performance review. THE 8 PERFORMANCE SKILLS Every athlete in the programme develops across 8 evidence-based skills: Confidence · Focus · Resilience · Optimism · Self-Control · Competitive Drive · Teamwork · Self-Awareness Each skill has its own audio learning modules, daily strategies, and reflection prompts. Progress is tracked. Development is visible. Nothing is left to chance. HOW IT WORKS The HeadCoach Performance System was developed by Jonathon O'Neill (UEFA A licensed, RocheMartin EI accredited) and is grounded in the neuroscience of constructed emotion. Every strategy, reflection, and learning module is designed by sport psychologists and performance coaches - not generic content, not recycled advice. Your daily programme follows a Train · Track · Reinforce cycle: — Train: Complete your performance strategy before or after sessions — Track: Log mood, energy, and reflections to build self-awareness — Reinforce: Listen to short audio modules that deepen your understanding of each skill BUILT FOR TEAMS HeadCoach is used by competitive programmes across North America and Europe. Your squad has its own Team Hub with leaderboards across habits, strategies, and reflections. Compete with your teammates. Build accountability. Raise the standard together. Your data stays yours. Coaches cannot see your reflections, mood, or assessment data. The leaderboard shows points only - nothing personal. START FREE Download HeadCoach and start your 30-day free trial. No credit card required. Individual plans: $10/month or $100/year. If your club or school has enrolled in a HeadCoach programme, your access is included - ask your coach for the team code.
