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.

Sessei
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sessei is a calm, local-first tracker for the three habits that make the rest of your wellness routine work: drinking enough water, sticking to your fasting window, and remembering your daily supplements. No account. No cloud. No tracking. Your data stays on your device. — WATER — Log drinks in two taps from the home screen, the Add sheet, or a home-screen widget. Eight drink types are built in with research-backed hydration coefficients, so a coffee or a glass of wine doesn't quietly inflate your daily total. Quick-add presets remember your usual sizes and drink types. — FASTING — A clean, focused timer for intermittent fasting. Pick a window from 12:12 to 23:1 and tap to start. The ring evolves through ten phases — from glycogen burn through autophagy to extended fasting — with a personalised autophagy estimate tied to your profile. A flame marks where autophagy is generally observed. Tap to learn more about the science. — SUPPLEMENTS — Add supplements from a curated catalog of ~50 vitamins, minerals and common stack items, or scan a label with the camera. Daily and weekly cadences. Tap to log, swipe to deactivate. The app gently nudges you when something is due based on timing hints (with-meal, fasted, evening, etc.). — INSIGHTS — Day, week and month views per category. Swipe horizontally to scrub through history. See your weekly hydration cadence, fasting consistency, and supplement adherence at a glance. — HOME-SCREEN WIDGET — Three sizes. The small widget is water at-a-glance plus a +50 and +250 mL quick-log button. The medium widget shows water and your current fast side by side. The large widget adds supplements still to take today. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — Everything you log lives in a local database on your iPhone. There is no Sessei account, no analytics, no third-party SDK collecting your data. The optional Apple Health integration is two-way and entirely under your control — turn it on or off in Profile at any time. — PRICING — Free 7-day trial unlocks every feature. After the trial, water and fasting stay free forever. The Supplements module requires a one-time Premium purchase — no subscription, no recurring fee, no expiry. Restore Purchases is available in the paywall if you change devices. — DESIGN NOTES — Sage palette, copper accents, generous whitespace. Built for iOS 17 — interactive widgets, Live Activities-ready, Dark Mode throughout. The app respects Reduce Motion and uses Dynamic Type everywhere. — WHAT SESSEI WILL NOT DO — No streaks-as-shame. No alarm-bell notifications. No "you missed yesterday" guilt copy. The tone is supportive, the data is yours, and the goal is to make showing up easier — not noisier.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Sessei at daily against Bearable's weekly. Bearable's advantage is chart position (#182 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
