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 you could get ahead of your next migraine instead of just enduring it? Bleary is your companion for understanding your migraines and no longer flying blind. Log an attack in under 10 seconds and discover which days carry the most risk by crossing your migraines with barometric pressure and other signals from your body. Bleary works with a Bleary Pro subscription (with a 7-day free trial): all features described below require an active subscription. Here's what Bleary does: GET AHEAD OF THE WEATHER Your iPhone has a barometer built in. Bleary uses it to correlate your migraines with barometric pressure, give you a 7-day pressure forecast, and alert you on high-risk days. The pressure–migraine correlation is the heart of the app. LOG IN SECONDS One big button: the attack started. Another tap: it's over. Afterwards, if you want, add intensity, pain location, symptoms, medication, and a note. Everything is optional — because nobody wants to fill out forms mid-attack. UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS Bleary relates your attacks to pressure, sleep, caffeine, hydration, and your cycle. See your trends in clear cards, in the calm style of the Health app — no impossible charts. YOUR REPORT FOR THE DOCTOR Export a PDF report with your migraine history, symptoms, and medication for your next neurologist appointment. What you used to reconstruct from memory, you now bring in writing. DESIGNED FOR WHEN IT HURTS Dark mode by default, soft colors that don't hurt with photophobia, and a companion during the attack: guided breathing, a timer, and live pressure. Choose the color that calms you most. Why Bleary and not another app? Because you don't need to fill in a thousand fields or join any community. Your health data never travels to any server of ours: it stays on your iPhone and syncs privately across your devices with iCloud. Simple, private, and built to be there for you — even on your worst day. Disclaimer: Bleary is a self-awareness and tracking tool. It does not diagnose and does not replace the advice of a healthcare professional; always consult your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. — BLEARY PRO SUBSCRIPTION — Bleary Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. It includes a 7-day free trial. · Payment is charged to your Apple account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period (and at the end of the free trial) unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. · You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Bearable at free with in-app purchases against Bleary's subscription. Bearable also leads on ratings volume (6.5K vs 1) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). Bleary's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bearable sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and Bleary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bleary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bearable has 6.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Bearable ships an update weekly, Bleary every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
