If your fitness tracker thinks you're broken, you're using the wrong app. FlareCast was built by someone living with Sjögren's syndrome, for people with chronic illness. Instead of a step goal that shames you on bad days, FlareCast gives you one honest number: your capacity for today. It's calculated from how you slept, your symptoms, fever, stress, hydration, and check-ins. A 30% day is a 30% day — the app tells you that, and tells you why. Behind that number, FlareCast quietly tracks what your doctor wants to see at your next appointment: • Symptom load over time • Fever trends, with a flag at 100.4°F • Medication adherence • Sleep, resting heart rate, and HRV from your Apple Watch • Hydration against your goal Tap one button and FlareCast generates a clean PDF you can email your specialist before your visit. Gentle by design. Log from your wrist by answering a reminder, no need to open the app. Soft colors instead of alarm-red. Miss a few days? It welcomes you back instead of guilt-tripping you. Private by default. Everything stays on your iPhone. No account. No cloud. No tracking. No data sold...ever. FlareCast reads from Apple Health; it never writes to it and never sends your data anywhere. What you can track: • Wellbeing, symptoms, stress, body temperature, hydration • Medications with day-of-week scheduling and reminders • Blood pressure and glucose • Free-form notes with photos • Period start/end with a calendar and predictions Built for autoimmune conditions like Sjögren's, lupus, and RA, useful for anyone living in a body that needs listening to. — FlareCast is not a medical device. Any score, prediction, or insight is for personal pattern-tracking only. Don't use it to diagnose, to decide whether to take or skip medication, or in place of your doctor.
