Living with CFS or ME means navigating a body that doesn't follow the same rules. Energy is unpredictable, symptoms shift day to day, and keeping track of it all can feel like another drain on what little you have. ElliesNote is a symptom and energy tracker built specifically for people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It's designed to ask as little of you as possible — because on the days when logging feels like too much, that's when it matters most. LOG YOUR DAY Rate your energy on a simple 1–5 scale and tap the symptoms you're experiencing: fatigue, brain fog, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, dizziness, nausea, or sleep disturbance. Add a note if you want. Log multiple times a day. Morning and evening reminders help you stay consistent without having to think about it. CRASH DAYS On hard days, tap "I'm Crashing Today." It's tracked separately from your regular entries and shows up clearly across your history — no need to force it into a log note. INSIGHTS The Insights screen shows how your energy and symptoms trend over 7, 14, or 30 days. Useful for spotting patterns, understanding your limits, and sharing data with a doctor or specialist. APPLE HEALTH Connect to Apple Health and ElliesNote automatically pulls in your sleep duration, resting heart rate, HRV, and step count. See how they correlate with your energy without entering a thing manually. YOUR HISTORY Browse your logs month by month. See which days you logged, which you missed, and which were crash days — all in one place. ELLIESNOTE PREMIUM Unlock the full picture: • Personalised energy insights • 14-day and 30-day trend charts • Apple Health sync (sleep, HRV, resting HR, steps) • Full calendar history, month by month • 30-day missed-day tracking Try Premium free for 7 days, then choose monthly or annual billing. Cancel anytime in App Store settings. Built with care for the CFS/ME community.

FatigueSense helps you understand your energy and pace your days, so you can do more of what matters with less risk of crashing. Built by digital health researchers, it links data from your wearable with quick daily check-ins to show how your activity, recovery, and fatigue relate over time. It is designed with and for people living with persistent fatigue — ME/CFS, long COVID, fibromyalgia, cancer-related fatigue, and other long-term conditions. What you can do • See your daily energy budget and how much you have left • Get an early signal when you may be approaching post-exertional malaise (PEM) • Track strain, recovery, HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep in one place • Plan activities that fit within your personal energy envelope • Log crashes and check-ins so the app learns your individual patterns • Connect a wearable, or use manual daily entry — no device required Works with your wearable Apple Watch, Oura, Garmin, WHOOP, Polar, Withings, Fitbit, and more. An honest, research-led approach FatigueSense is assistive and statistical. Its outputs complement your own judgment — they do not diagnose or treat any condition, and they are not validated for every diagnosis. Fatigue is not one thing, and the app does not assume all conditions behave the same way. You know your body best. FatigueSense is a wellness and self-management app. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Energy estimates, pacing guidance and symptom risk indicators are informational only and are not medical advice. Always speak to a qualified healthcare professional about your health, and before changing anything about your treatment or care. If you think you are having a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services.
