About

CoughTrack

Features
Read full description

CoughTrack listens quietly through your Apple Watch and logs every cough and sneeze automatically โ€” no buttons, no manual tracking. HOW IT WORKS Wear your Apple Watch and start monitoring. CoughTrack uses on-device sound analysis to detect coughs and sneezes as they happen, scoring each one mild, moderate, or severe based on how loud it was. SEE YOUR PATTERNS โ€ข Today โ€” a running count of today's coughs and sneezes, broken down by severity โ€ข History โ€” browse every logged event โ€ข Trends โ€” track how your daily totals change over time MAKE IT YOURS Adjust the sensitivity to match how you actually cough โ€” catch more faint coughs, or cut down on false alarms. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Optionally save your logged events to the Health app, so they sit alongside the rest of your health history โ€” and can easily be shared with your doctor if that's useful to you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no analytics. Sound analysis happens entirely on your Apple Watch โ€” raw audio is never recorded or sent anywhere. Only the detection result (cough or sneeze, severity, timestamp) reaches your iPhone to be logged. CoughTrack is a personal log, not a diagnostic tool. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or predict any medical condition โ€” it simply helps you notice your own patterns.
