Read full description

TrackBack is the comprehensive tracking tool designed for people investigating chronic allergies, food sensitivities, IBS, migraines, eczema, and mysterious recurring symptoms. Whether you're just starting to track or looking to finally discover your triggers, TrackBack is here to support you every step of the way. VOICE-FIRST LOGGING Seamlessly log your symptoms and observations in 15 seconds. Speak naturally like "had rash after eggs this morning" and TrackBack automatically parses factors, symptoms, and timing. No forms to fill out, no endless tapping—just speak and go. PATTERN DISCOVERY Gain valuable insights into your health with detailed charts and visualizations. See correlations between what you eat, what you do, and how you feel. Understand your trends and identify triggers as you track. TARGET-FIRST INVESTIGATION Focus on what matters to YOU. Create custom investigations for specific symptoms you want to solve—that mystery rash, recurring headaches, digestive issues. TrackBack helps you investigate specific problems, not just journal everything. BIDIRECTIONAL TRACKING Track what makes symptoms worse AND what makes them better. Most trackers only let you log problems. TrackBack shows the complete picture so you can identify both triggers and helpful patterns. PRIVACY FIRST Your data is securely stored on your device using Apple's Private iCloud technology, keeping your information private and ensuring you stay in control. Export anytime, delete anytime. No tracking, no ads, no selling your health data. APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION Automatically import relevant health data from Apple Health for a more comprehensive view of your patterns. PERFECT FOR TRACKING: - Chronic allergies and food sensitivities - Mystery rashes and skin conditions (eczema, hives, dermatitis) - IBS, bloating, and digestive issues - Migraines and chronic headaches - MCAS and histamine intolerance - FODMAP sensitivities - Any recurring symptom doctors can't explain HOW IT WORKS: 1. Define what you're investigating (your Target) 2. Voice log daily observations in 15 seconds 3. Review correlations in visual charts 4. Run elimination experiments based on patterns 5. Share detailed summaries with your healthcare provider BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT TrackBack was created by someone dealing with chronic allergies and a four-month mystery rash that doctors couldn't diagnose. Built from frustration with symptom trackers that require 20 minutes of form-filling when you just need quick answers. FREE BETA TrackBack is currently free while in beta. We're building this WITH our users, not just FOR them. Your feedback shapes what we build next. Questions or feedback?

The workout tracker for people whose bodies hurt. Log every set like any tracker. Then tell it what's sore, and every session is rebuilt around it. Bring the routine you already run, from a photo or a Strong or Hevy export, and it's in your week the same day. Most workout apps assume nothing ever hurts. Kingtide is built for the opposite. Log a bad shoulder, a nagging knee, or a lower back that flares up, and every workout from then on is built around it. Not "see a professional and come back." A session you can actually do today. LOG AN INJURY ONCE Mark the area on a body map and say how it feels. Kingtide swaps the movements that aggravate it for ones that don't, and leaves the rest of your session alone. Mark it good again when it settles, and the plan walks you back. YOUR ROUTINE, IN ONE IMPORT Screenshots from Strong or Hevy, a CSV export, a whiteboard, a photo of paper. Kingtide reads it on your phone, keeps your days, your sets, your reps and your weights, and shows you what it read so you can fix anything before it becomes your week. Your leg day stays a leg day. YOUR REHAB PLAN, FOLDED IN Photograph the exercise sheet you were given, by a physio, a PT, a chiro or your doctor. Those exercises are built into your week, so you follow that guidance without dropping your training. Nothing is uploaded to do it. A TRACKER THAT PAYS ATTENTION The runner logs what you actually lifted, not what was planned. Recovered muscle goes up. Still-sore muscle holds the weight and adds a rep. Every number on the progress screen is read back off sessions you really did, so an empty week looks empty. A PLAN THAT BENDS INSTEAD OF BREAKING Short on time, or slept badly? Say so at check-in and today's session reshapes to fit. Training for a sport? Say which, and the week leads with what it asks for. A rough week changes your training instead of ending it. YOUR INJURIES STAY ON THIS PHONE The body map, your pain notes and the routine you imported live on your device, not on a server. Anonymous usage analytics and crash reports are the only things that ever leave, and Profile has a switch that turns those off too. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No account. No sign-up. No email address. Kingtide is not medical advice and is not a substitute for a doctor or a physical therapist. If something is genuinely injured, go and see one. FREE AND PRO Fourteen full workouts free. Your plan and your logged history stay yours either way. Kingtide Pro removes the session limit and keeps the plan adapting for as long as you train. Kingtide Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
