Living with lupus means dealing with uncertainty. One day you're fine, the next you're hit with pain, rashes, brain fog, fatigue, or swelling that seems to come out of nowhere. You try to remember what you ate, how you slept, whether you took your meds, or the weather. But without a system, it's impossible to keep it all straight. Our Lupus tracker app helps you bring order to the chaos and spot the patterns hiding in plain sight. TRACK SYMPTOMS, FASTER Use the built-in symptom tracker to log pain, fatigue, joint stiffness, swelling, rashes, fevers, mouth sores, mood changes, lupus depression, brain fog, and more. Entries take seconds. Customize severity ratings, attach notes, add photos, and track multiple symptoms each day. No paper journals, no spreadsheets, no guessing. FOLLOW YOUR MEDICATION PLAN Keep your lupus treatment plan on track. If prednisone, hydroxychloroquine, or methotrexate is part of your plan, add the dose, schedule, and notes. The same flexible log works for azathioprine, rituximab, Benlysta, Plaquenil, injections, infusions, supplements, and other medications. Set reminders for specific times, receive alerts, and record missed or late doses. Get refill reminders before you run out. The medication tracker supports simple and complex regimens and adjusts across time zones when you travel. RECOGNIZE FLARE PATTERNS A flare, sometimes called a lupus attack, is easier to handle when you catch it early. The flare tracker lets you record flare start and end dates, suspected triggers, and associated symptoms. Over time, you can see how flares relate to sleep, skipped meds, hormone shifts, or environmental factors. Knowing what came before a flare gives you the power to respond sooner and prevent escalation. CONNECT WITH YOUR BODY Sync with Apple Health to bring in step count, heart rate, oxygen levels, sleep, weight, blood pressure, and menstrual cycle tracking. All of this data appears on your health timeline alongside symptom logs and medication history. You start to see what leads up to flares and what helps recovery. TYPES OF LUPUS SUPPORTED Pair it with resources from your lupus foundation, lupus association, or lupus society. It covers all major types, including: - Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) - Cutaneous lupus (discoid and subacute) - Lupus nephritis - Drug-induced lupus It also supports overlap conditions and related autoimmune diseases like: - Fibromyalgia - Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) - Sjögren's syndrome - Hashimoto's or Graves' disease - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) SHARE REPORTS EASILY Export daily or weekly reports as PDFs or CSV files.

DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE - Track symptoms, meds, flares, and more in one place - Sync with Apple Health for seamless biometric data - Manage profiles for multiple people (perfect for caregivers) - Secure your data with Face ID, passcode, and encrypted cloud backup - Simple enough for teens and parents, powerful enough for complex cases MAKE IT YOUR OWN Build a routine with Lupus Tracker, free from rigid templates.
