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.

Prova is a PMDD tracker that turns your daily symptoms into proof. Log mood, physical, and behavioral symptoms, watch the pattern build across your cycle, and export a clinician-ready report to bring to your doctor. Private and on-device. PROVE IT'S PMDD If every month you're told it's "just stress," Prova gives you the record that changes the conversation. It tracks your symptoms against your cycle and shows the pattern — the luteal-phase spike that defines PMDD — in plain language. THE DAILY LOG Rate 11 symptoms — sadness, anxiety, mood swings, anger, loss of interest, trouble concentrating, feeling overwhelmed, fatigue, appetite, sleep and physical aches — on a simple none-to-severe scale, grouped into mood, behavioral and physical. It's the DSM-5 premenstrual criteria turned into a form you can fill in over a coffee, once a day. One more tap answers the question a clinician asks next: did it get in the way today, at work, at school or at home? A note field captures the day in your words. SEE YOUR PATTERN, FREE Your proof-curve fills in as you log. A phase-by-phase breakdown shows which symptoms cluster in your luteal window — the evidence a clinician looks for. And a home-screen widget shows your cycle day and phase at a glance — never your symptoms. A CLINICIAN-READY REPORT (Pro) Export a clean PDF of your symptom pattern to bring to your doctor. On your phone, Prova checks your log against the DSM-5 premenstrual criteria: how many symptoms rise in your luteal window, which core symptoms, the timing, and whether they got in the way. The report prints that check beside your chart. This isn't in your head — it's a record you and your clinician can act on. WALK IN READY The appointment sheet tells you who to see, gives you what to say in the first minute, written from your own record, and lists the questions worth asking. WHEN IT GETS DARK PMDD can bring hopeless days in the luteal window. When you rate sadness or overwhelm as severe, crisis lines sit one tap away: call or text 988, or text HOME to 741741 (US, 24/7). Settings also keeps a note you wrote to yourself on a clearer day, shown back when the window opens. KNOW BEFORE IT HITS (Pro) Luteal-phase alerts give you a heads-up before your hard window starts, so you can plan around it. SEE IF A TREATMENT WORKS (Pro) Started an SSRI, a supplement, or cut caffeine? Prova compares your luteal-phase severity before and after, so you can see what's actually helping. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your symptom data never leaves your device — no account, no cloud storage of your health data, and no third-party analytics on what you log. Back up your record to a file you keep, and restore it on a new phone. Prova is a personal record, not a diagnosis. Always review it with a qualified clinician. PROVA PRO Unlock the report export, luteal alerts, and treatment insights with monthly, yearly (7-day free trial on the yearly plan), or lifetime access. The price shows before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings.
