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 โ 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 1โ5 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 โ 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 โ all in one place. ELLIESNOTE PREMIUM Unlock the full picture: โข Personalised energy insights โข 14-day and 30-day trend charts โข Apple Health sync (sleep, HRV, resting HR, steps) โข Full calendar history, month by month โข 30-day missed-day tracking Try Premium free for 7 days, then choose monthly or annual billing.

Aimo โ Pet Journal is a quiet journal for the years you spend with them. Not a social app. Not gamified. Not a feed. Just one private, soft place to keep their whole life โ from Gotcha Day to forever. โ Today โ A hello in the morning. The day's first photo. A small thing to write, if you'd like โ or speak it, on the days words come easier said than typed. And on the days that mean something โ 100 days together, 365, their birthday โ a soft draft is already waiting, in case you want to write to them about it. โ Book โ Every day they had with you, kept in order. Look back by list, by month, by year. On any day, see "this day across years" โ a quiet bridge to the same date in the past. The years build into a thing you'll want to read. โ Keepsakes โ Letters you wrote them. Promises you made. Time capsules for them to open on a date, on their next birthday, the year they turn ten, or after the seasons turn. The day comes. It opens by itself. Words too soft to forget. โ Together โ Some books are kept by one person. Others are kept by two. Invite a partner or family member with three quiet words, and they'll see the whole book โ read-only, like a grandparent who wants to see how the little one's doing, or writing alongside you, like the partner you actually live with. The invite words are encrypted. We never see them. โ Profile โ An archive, not a settings page. Their breed, their birthday, the things they love and fear. The story of how they came home. โ Health, gently held โ Vaccine reminders. Vet visit log. Weight trend. After a vet visit, one calm flow captures everything that happened โ meds, next vaccine, the bill โ without typing it five times. We surface what matters; we never diagnose. โ On the watch โ For the small moments. Pick the three quick taps you actually use, out of nine. The last thing you noted shows quietly on the watch face. โ Every kind, side by side โ Cat, dog, rabbit, bird โ every animal in your house, equal in the same book. โ Yours, always โ Local-first. Synced through your own iCloud, no account to create. We don't see your photos, your words, or their name. Aimo grows with them. And after โ when the time comes โ it stays gentle. A place to remember, in your own time. Kept gently, kept always.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aimo at none against ElliesNote's 2. Aimo also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). ElliesNote's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
