Walk into every doctor visit prepared — in under a minute. The 3 a.m. flare. The medication that didn't help. The pattern only you noticed. You sit down in the exam room, the doctor asks "so what's been going on," and your mind goes blank. Speak when something happens. Sympnote organizes it into a Health Brief — something a clinician can read in under a minute, so you walk out feeling heard. Most symptom apps log data. Sympnote turns it into something a doctor will actually read. — HOW IT WORKS — 1. Capture in seconds. Tap to type or hold to speak. Voice notes are transcribed on-device, so you can talk freely. 2. Auto-organize. Each note is sorted into the fields a clinician cares about — symptom, severity, duration, triggers, body system — without you lifting a finger. 3. Generate a Health Brief. When you're ready for an appointment, Sympnote pulls everything together: top concerns, timeline, patterns, red flags, and questions to ask. 4. Share it. Send the brief as text, or export a clean PDF to bring to the visit. — WHO IT'S FOR — • Living with a chronic condition and juggling specialists • Newly diagnosed and unsure what's worth tracking • Caregivers relaying symptoms for a parent, partner, or child • Anyone who freezes when the doctor asks "so what's been going on?" • People who want to be heard, not rushed — WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT — • A symptom journal that takes 20 seconds, not 20 minutes • AI Health Briefs tailored to each appointment and specialty • A care team view so each specialist gets the right context • Print-ready PDF handouts your doctor can scan in 30 seconds • Annual plan saves over 35% • No account, no ads, no tracking — ever — PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST — Your notes stay on your device by default. Voice recordings never leave your phone — transcription runs locally. Sympnote does not sell your data, does not show ads, is not linked to your identity, and does not require an account. When you generate a brief, your note text is sent to Google Gemini and OpenAI as data processors to organize it. Both process the data only to fulfill your request, do not train their models on it, and do not retain it beyond what their API terms allow. Your name, audio, and the names of clinicians on your care team are never sent. Nothing happens until you tap "I agree" on the in-app consent screen. — A NOTE ON AI — Sympnote uses AI to organize what you tell it. Briefs are summaries of your own words, not medical advice or diagnoses. Always confirm with a qualified clinician before making decisions about your health. AI can occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete summaries — review any brief before sharing it. — SUBSCRIPTION — Sympnote Plus is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks unlimited briefs, PDF export, care team management, and appointment prep tools. • Monthly — $7.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers • Annual — $59.99 per year (save over 35%) Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription auto-renews at the same price and duration unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The renewal charge is processed within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage your subscription or turn off auto-renewal anytime in your App Store account settings. No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during an active period. If you start a free trial and subscribe before it ends, any unused portion of the trial is forfeited when the paid subscription begins.
