How are you, really? Moodae helps you answer that in five seconds. Over time it shows you what lifts you up and what weighs you down. CHECK IN WITH ONE SWIPE Drag the orb to how you feel. Add a word, an area of life, a note, a voice note or a photo if you like. Or skip all of that. SEE WHAT GOES TOGETHER Moodae compares your own check-ins and tells you in plain words what goes along with lighter and heavier days: people, places, time of day, sleep, the small resets you take. Patterns, not diagnoses. YOUR WEEK, MONTH AND YEAR Colors and calm charts for every period. At the end of a month and a year, Moodae tells it back to you as a short story you can share. SMALL RESETS AND EXPERIMENTS One-minute breaks to breathe, move or savor. Experiments for 7, 14 or 30 days, like going to bed earlier, with an honest comparison afterwards. WHEREVER YOU ARE Widgets for the Home and Lock Screen, Control Center, Siri, and an Apple Watch app with a complication. APPLE HEALTH If you allow it, Moodae saves your check-ins to Apple Health as State of Mind and your resets as mindful minutes. It reads sleep, steps, exercise, daylight and heart rate variability to show them next to your mood. Health data stays on your device and is never used for advertising. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Your journal lives on your iPhone, locked with Face ID if you want. iCloud sync is optional. Export everything as CSV or JSON whenever you like. MOODAE PLUS Checking in, your journal and exporting your data stay free. Moodae Plus adds all connections, month and year patterns, body & mood, short notes on your week and month written on your device by Apple Intelligence (on supported devices) and a PDF report. After your 7th check-in, Plus unlocks for 14 days for free. No payment, no card. Plus is available as a yearly or monthly subscription, or as a one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.

PatternMD is a free, anonymous symptom tracker and chronic illness journal. Log migraines, flares, pain, fatigue, anxiety, long COVID, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, lupus, IBS, PTSD or any symptom in seconds, discover what triggers it, and connect with people who feel exactly what you feel — without ever revealing who you are. You are not alone in this. WHAT PATTERNMD DOES Log your symptoms. Track headaches, fatigue, anxiety, joint pain, brain fog, nausea, insomnia — anything. Add an optional trigger note like "ate dairy" or "barely slept." It takes 10 seconds. Say ME TOO. Tap ME TOO on any community post that matches your experience. The more people who say it, the clearer the pattern becomes — and you instantly see you are not the only one. Talk to Alyssa. Alyssa is our in-app AI companion. Type a message and she will help you put words to what you're feeling, reflect on a pattern in your logs, or route you to a crisis resource if you need one. Alyssa is a support tool, not a doctor — she does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Discover your patterns. The Pattern Engine analyzes your logs against the entire community to surface real insights: Top community-reported triggers Time-of-day and day-of-week patterns Environmental correlations — weather, air quality, and pollen Severity escalation alerts Personalized recommendations Automatic cross-language search across all four languages Public or private. Every symptom you log can be Public, so the community can say ME TOO, or Private, so it stays in your journal, your patterns, and your connected doctor's view only. Private journal. Keep a private health diary alongside your community posts. Your journal is yours alone and never visible to anyone else. Medication tracking. An optional private medication list with dosage, frequency, and notes. Only you — and your connected provider, if you choose — can see it. Connect to your doctor. Optionally share your tracked data with a verified healthcare provider through the secure Provider Portal. You stay in control and can connect or disconnect anytime. Pediatric posts. Parents and legal guardians can log symptoms on behalf of a child in their care. Posts are clearly marked, and the child never has an account. TAPMD wellness games. Two science-backed mini-games — MedMatch and BrainRx — help reduce stress and anxiety, with a bonus of medical-terminology learning. WHY PATTERNMD IS DIFFERENT 100 percent anonymous. You get a PMD-XXXXXXXX ID. No name, no photo, no real-world identity ever shown. Multilingual. Full support for English, Spanish, German, and Vietnamese, with automatic cross-language translation and search across all four. No targeted ads. Sponsored posts are clearly labeled and never use your personal data. HIPAA-aligned security. Encrypted storage, row-level access controls, and data minimization. Never sold. Your email and data are never sold to anyone, ever. WHO PATTERNMD IS FOR People living with chronic conditions. Migraine sufferers. People with fatigue, fibromyalgia, long COVID, anxiety, autoimmune conditions, or unexplained symptoms. Parents tracking pediatric symptoms. Service members and veterans. Anyone who has ever felt "I just want to know if anyone else feels this too." You are not crazy. You are not making it up. Your symptoms have patterns. Let us find them together. IMPORTANT PatternMD does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical decisions.
