Spiral vs PatternMD

Spiral is a journaling and diary app designed to quiet your mind, not fill it. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, tracking your mood, or just need a private space to think, write in a unique spiral canvas that turns your thoughts into a meditative visual experience, or choose ephemeral mode, where words flow and fade as you type. Write Your Way Choose between two distinct writing modes. Spiral mode places your words along a beautiful spiral path, creating a calming, focused writing ritual. Ephemeral mode lets your thoughts appear and dissolve, freeing you from the pressure of permanence. Perfect for venting without judgment. Breathe & Meditate Prepare your mind before journaling with built-in breathing exercises and meditation sessions. Choose from multiple breathing patterns, guided or ambient meditation, and set your own duration. AI-Powered Insights See what your writing reveals over time.

PatternMD is a free, anonymous symptom tracker and chronic illness journal. Log migraines, flares, pain, fatigue, anxiety, long COVID, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, lupus, IBS, PTSD or any symptom in seconds, discover what triggers it, and connect with people who feel exactly what you feel — without ever revealing who you are. You are not alone in this. WHAT PATTERNMD DOES Log your symptoms. Track headaches, fatigue, anxiety, joint pain, brain fog, nausea, insomnia — anything. Add an optional trigger note like "ate dairy" or "barely slept." It takes 10 seconds. Say ME TOO. Tap ME TOO on any community post that matches your experience. The more people who say it, the clearer the pattern becomes — and you instantly see you are not the only one. Talk to Alyssa. Alyssa is our in-app AI companion. Type a message and she will help you put words to what you're feeling, reflect on a pattern in your logs, or route you to a crisis resource if you need one. Alyssa is a support tool, not a doctor — she does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Discover your patterns. The Pattern Engine analyzes your logs against the entire community to surface real insights: Top community-reported triggers Time-of-day and day-of-week patterns Environmental correlations — weather, air quality, and pollen Severity escalation alerts Personalized recommendations Automatic cross-language search across all four languages Public or private. Every symptom you log can be Public, so the community can say ME TOO, or Private, so it stays in your journal, your patterns, and your connected doctor's view only. Private journal. Keep a private health diary alongside your community posts. Your journal is yours alone and never visible to anyone else. Medication tracking. An optional private medication list with dosage, frequency, and notes. Only you — and your connected provider, if you choose — can see it. Connect to your doctor. Optionally share your tracked data with a verified healthcare provider through the secure Provider Portal. You stay in control and can connect or disconnect anytime. Pediatric posts. Parents and legal guardians can log symptoms on behalf of a child in their care. Posts are clearly marked, and the child never has an account. TAPMD wellness games. Two science-backed mini-games — MedMatch and BrainRx — help reduce stress and anxiety, with a bonus of medical-terminology learning. WHY PATTERNMD IS DIFFERENT 100 percent anonymous.
