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. Work out which activities drain you or give you energy, and give your doctor a clear record of how your chronic illness has changed. Built with people living with PoTS, EDS, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS and long covid. GUT, HORMONES AND CYCLE Log digestive symptoms, food and bathroom habits to find out which foods are behind your IBS or GERD flare-ups. See how your symptoms, pain, migraine and mood change across each phase of your cycle, useful for PCOS, PMDD, endometriosis and menstrual migraine. 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. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Symptoms, pain, migraine, mood, medication, exercise and diet in one health tracker, so you can find useful patterns instead of switching between apps. - Fully customisable: record exactly what matters to you - Insights that show what correlates with your symptoms - Reports that turn months of symptom, pain and mental health logs into actionable insights - Sync steps, sleep and heart rate from Apple Health and Fitbit - Reminders, secure export, restore across devices, dark mode PRIVATE AND SECURE Your health data is encrypted.

What if someone was always watching out for you — without you having to do anything? SafeGuard monitors your activity quietly in the background. If you go silent for too long, it checks in with you first. If you don't respond, your chosen guardians are notified immediately. No daily check-ins. No panic buttons. Just quiet, automatic protection. DESIGNED FOR - People living alone who want peace of mind - Adult children worried about elderly parents - Hikers, travelers, and solo adventurers - Anyone who wants a safety net — just in case HOW IT WORKS SafeGuard uses your step count, phone usage, and location movement to detect activity. Set your own guarding hours and inactivity threshold. If nothing is detected for that period, SafeGuard asks "Are you okay?" — one tap confirms you're safe. No response? Your guardians get an alert. FEATURES - Fully automatic — no daily sign-in required - Continuous background monitoring — works even when the app is closed - One-tap SOS for immediate emergency alerts - Customizable guarding hours and thresholds - Last-known location sharing in alerts (optional, not real-time) - Mutual guardian relationships — watch over each other - Full alert history log - iCloud sync — switch devices without losing settings - Face ID / Touch ID lock for privacy PRIVACY FIRST All activity detection happens on your device. Your step count and motion data never leave your phone. Location movement is used only as an activity signal — no location history is stored or tracked. Location is only shared with guardians when you choose — and only when an alert is triggered. SUBSCRIPTION New users get a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. Cancel anytime.
