About

Itchi

Read full description

Psoriasis has patterns. Itchi helps you study yours. If you live with psoriasis, you know flares can feel random. Often, though, they follow patterns: food, drink, stress, sleep and movement can all play a part. Itchi is a simple, private self-tracking tool that helps you notice your own patterns over time, so you can learn how your skin responds and decide what to try next. WHAT ITCHI HELPS YOU STUDY 1. Diet and habits. Run focused 30-day experiments, like setting aside gluten, processed food, alcohol and more, and see how your skin responds. 2. Mind. Take a short guided breathing break, and see how calmer days line up with your skin over time. 3. Movement. Connect daily steps, so you can notice how activity relates to how your skin feels. HOW IT WORKS 1. Run structured experiments. One change at a time, for 30 days, so you’re testing instead of guessing. 2. Check in daily. A quick check-in takes seconds. Over weeks, your calendar and logs make your own patterns easier to see. 3. Build momentum. Streaks and badges keep you going gently. No pressure, just progress. 4. Track your skin. Add private progress photos and notes, and compare your skin from the start to the end of an experiment. 5. Learn from research. Read plain-language summaries of selected psoriasis studies, with charts and links to the original papers. 6. Connect with Apple Health. Optionally sync your steps. Always your choice. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your health data is yours. Your logs, photos and check-ins stay private and are never sold. You can delete your account and data at any time. A TOOL, NOT A DOCTOR Itchi is a self-tracking and educational tool. It does not diagnose, treat or provide medical advice, and it is not a medical device. Keep following any treatment your doctor has prescribed, and talk to a healthcare professional before making medical decisions.
