ME Ally vs Mya

ME Ally is a private symptom and pacing journal for ME/CFS and Long COVID. Log daily health, activity, symptoms, crashes, and notes, then review trends and logged crash patterns based on your own history. No account, no ads, no third-party analytics, and no wearable or HealthKit setup required. The Problem ME/CFS and Long COVID can make activity planning difficult. Symptoms may change from day to day, and crashes or post-exertional malaise (PEM) can be hard to understand without a clear record of what happened before and after. The Solution ME Ally turns your daily logs into individualized insights. It estimates your personal energy envelope - activity ranges associated with your logged crash history - and highlights trends, symptom changes, and potential patterns that may be useful for your own review or conversations with your clinician. How It Works • Track: Log overall health and activity on a 0-10 scale. Record symptoms and add notes when helpful. • Review: See trends, week-over-week changes, logged crash patterns, and symptom correlations. Results show confidence levels based on your data. • Reflect: Use your own history to better understand activity, symptoms, and crashes over time. Core Features • 7-day dashboard with rolling averages and trends. • Pacing insights based on logged patterns. • Energy envelope estimates based on your history. • Logged crash pattern analysis, including pre-crash activity patterns and weekly stats. • Symptom correlations before logged crashes. • Week-over-week symptom changes. • Works offline; optional iCloud sync is off by default and can be enabled during setup or in Settings. • Optional daily reminders. • Face ID/Touch ID lock for security.

Mya is built for people living with ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome). Living with ME/CFS means unpredictable crashes, symptoms that shift day to day, and constantly having to prove you're not "just tired" to doctors, employers, and family. Mya fixes that. Log your day in seconds Rate your functional level on the Bell Disability Scale, track brain fog, and note how you're pacing. Built for days when even typing is hard. Track Crashes, not "flares" Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), the delayed crash after physical, cognitive, emotional, or social exertion, is the hallmark of ME/CFS. Mya calls it what patients call it: a Crash. Log its severity, how long it lasted, and what may have triggered it. Pace with your Energy Envelope Rate available energy against expended energy each day, using Leonard Jason's Energy Envelope model, the pacing approach the ME/CFS community actually uses. Get warned before you overspend Mya watches for the early signals that tend to precede a crash: an overspent envelope, rising brain fog, a declining functional trend. Rest before you crash, not after. Connect your health data Sync with Apple Health to capture steps, sleep, heart rate, HRV, and active calories automatically. See how your body's signals line up with your symptoms. Get AI powered insights Mya looks at your logged symptoms and health data together and surfaces patterns you might miss Take the DSQ-SF Complete the DePaul Symptom Questionnaire, Short Form (DSQ-SF), the validated clinical instrument developed by Leonard A. Jason, PhD, used in ME/CFS research and diagnosis. Track your medications Log what you take, including as needed medications, with reminders so nothing gets missed. Share evidence with your doctor Generate a clean PDF summary of your Crashes, functional trend, and DSQ-SF results. Ready for the appointment where you have fifteen minutes to make months of symptoms count. Your health data stays in your secure account. We never sell your data.
