Trace Health vs Patternwise

Trace Health is the easiest, most private symptom and mood tracker for iPhone, iPhone Duo and Apple Watch, made for people living with chronic conditions. Log any symptom, your daily mood or your period in one tap, see how they evolve over days, weeks and months, find what triggers or relieves them, and share a clear PDF report with your doctor. Tracking your symptoms is free. Track your symptoms privately, without an account. No sign-up, no personal info ever requested. Your data stays on your iPhone by default, with optional private iCloud backup. Trace Health never collects, shares, or sells your health data. Easy, even on bad days. No forms, no typing, no setup: choose your conditions and tap. Log straight from a Home Screen widget, the Lock Screen or your Apple Watch, without opening the app. NEW: Made for iPhone Duo. Log a symptom with one hand on the cover screen, or open it to see your symptoms and daily activities side by side. Also new: once a day, swipe through the symptoms still active to update them in seconds. Find your triggers and relievers. Log daily activities and habits (food, sleep, stress, exercise, medications, weather) alongside your symptoms, and Trace Health shows you which factors make your symptoms and your mood better or worse.

Patternwise is a calm, private journal for noticing your own health patterns. Track migraine, reflux, sleep, food, stress and the weather around you — all in one place — and see how they line up over time. Most trackers follow a single condition. Patternwise is built to hold several at once, so you can spot connections a one-condition app would miss — like how a short night's sleep or a skipped meal tends to show up around a flare. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Log a symptom in seconds — what, how intense, done. Add detail only if you want to. • Track food, drinks and lifestyle factors (sleep, stress, exercise, and your own custom ones). • Track for yourself or someone you care for, with separate private profiles. • See gentle, honest insights — a calendar and frequency view, plus a look-back at what you logged in the hours around an entry (for context, never as a cause). • Auto-capture weather and pressure, and — with your permission — last night's sleep, so there's less to type. • Export a clean summary or CSV to keep, or to share with your doctor. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything you log stays on your device, encrypted. There's no account, no sign-up, and nothing is sent to a server. Optional AI summaries run entirely on your device. A NOTE ON WHAT THIS IS Patternwise is a wellness journal, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or predict any condition. For anything health-related, talk with your doctor.
