Equilo is a diary for people living with Ménière's disease and recurring vertigo. Record attacks even while everything is spinning, and walk into your appointment with clear notes. ONE ATTACK, ONE TAP - Start logging in the app, on Apple Watch, with the Action button, with Siri, in Control Center or right from the Lock Screen, even when your iPhone is locked. - A live timer runs in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen. - Afterwards Equilo asks just two things: type and severity, with three large buttons. Everything else is optional. - Every attack is different: add your own symptoms, such as "tingling in the face", and tap them next time. On Apple Watch too. HELP WHEN IT HITS - Acute help with a calm breathing rhythm and simple steps to lie down safely. - One tap calls your trusted contact or sends them a message with your location. - An explainer card for first responders and family, with the warning signs that mean calling your emergency number right away. READY FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT, ALL FREE - Page 1 of the doctor report is a summary for the first minutes: your questions, attacks by duration (Bárány classes), hearing, daily life and treatment. - Vertigo diary as a PDF, one row per day: type, duration, severity, how it started, symptoms and what you did. - Hearing history: enter audiograms from your ENT or primary care doctor or use the AirPods hearing test from Apple Health, shown as a low-frequency trend. - Treatment over time: attacks before and after a treatment, side by side. - Prepare your appointment: collect questions in one place. - Record an eye video during an attack so your doctor can see the eye movements. - Raw data as CSV. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE - Medications with reminders and "Taken" right in the notification. Equilo counts your supply and tells you before the pack runs out. - Last night: sleep, resting heart rate and heart rate variability from Apple Health, compared with your own normal. No scores. - Days since your last attack, without judgment and without goals. - Daily entry with balance, mood, strain, sleep, tinnitus burden and ear fullness per ear, plus hearing aid or cochlear implant if you use one. Only what you tap is saved. - Warning signs (aura), your own triggers and a salt trend. - "How I'm doing": your day, week or month as an image for family and partner. - Help and self-help: checked patient organizations in the U.K., the U.S., Australia and Europe. HONEST, NOT HYPED Equilo does not promise predictions. The personal pattern analysis checks whether sleep, stress, mood, vital signs or weather line up with your attacks, and openly tests whether it would have been right in hindsight. Knowledge with sources: guidelines, Cochrane reviews, recent studies and a myth check. YOUR DATA IS YOURS No account. No ads. No tracking. Your entries stay on your device and, if you want, in your private iCloud. Eye videos can stay on this device only. Values from Apple Health stay in Apple Health. EQUILO PLUS (OPTIONAL) Personal pattern analysis with a hindsight check, weather and air pressure trend, an alert for large pressure changes and plain-language summaries. Monthly, yearly with one month free, or a one-time purchase with Family Sharing. Everything your doctor sees stays free. Made by Till Heidrich in Germany, built for his own mother. Important: Equilo is a diary, not a medical device. It does not diagnose and does not replace medical advice. Get new or unusual symptoms checked by a doctor. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Petala at none against Equilo's 3. Petala also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
