Track symptoms the moment they start. Flara logs real-time duration to Apple Health -- no Flara account, no Flara servers, your data lives in Apple Health. WHAT FLARA DOES Apple Health lets you log symptoms after the fact, but there is no way to tap "this started now" and track it in real time. Flara fills that gap. 1. Tap to start tracking a symptom 2. A Live Activity appears on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island showing elapsed time 3. When you feel better, tap to stop 4. Flara saves a complete record to Apple Health with accurate start and end times That is it. The record lives safely in Apple Health. TRACK ANY SYMPTOM, FOR ANY REASON Starting a new prescription and watching for side effects? Recovering from an illness and wondering when symptoms clear? Living with migraines, IBS, fibromyalgia, long COVID, or another recurring condition, tired of guessing how long the last flare lasted? Flara tracks each one in real time and saves the record to Apple Health. Track 39 symptoms across six categories: - General Illness: fever, fatigue, coughing, sore throat, and more - Head & Neurological: headache, dizziness, mood changes, sleep changes - Heart & Chest: chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, skipped heartbeat - Digestive & GI: nausea, bloating, heartburn, appetite changes, and more - Musculoskeletal & Skin: lower back pain, acne, dry skin, hair loss - Hormonal & Reproductive: hot flashes, night sweats, breast pain ALWAYS VISIBLE Live Activities keep your active symptom on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Apple Watch. There is no notification to dismiss and no app to reopen, just a running timer until you end it. PRIVACY FIRST No Flara account. No Flara servers. No analytics. No data collection. Symptom records are written directly to Apple Health, where Apple's end-to-end encrypted iCloud Health sync may sync them across your devices -- Flara never reads them back.

Most fasting apps want a subscription, an account, and your data. Intermittently wants none of that. The whole tracker is free. Start and stop with one tap, keep your streaks, and see honest stats — and it works fully offline, syncing only to your own iCloud, which we never see. It won't coach you, guilt you, nag you, or upsell you. No subscription. The entire fasting tool is free, forever. No account. Nothing to create, nothing to log into. No coaching. It observes your data; it never advises, diagnoses, or claims a fast caused an outcome. No guilt. Missing a goal is neutral — no shaming words, no warning-red "you failed." No ads, no tracking, no data harvesting. Your data is yours. We see none of it. What it does, simply: Pick a fasting rhythm, tap start, tap stop. See when a fast will finish before you commit to it, with a live projected end-time. Keep your streaks and read honest stats that observe your patterns without ever editorializing them. Forgot to start on time, or forgot to log a fast entirely? Fix the start, or add it after the fact — the app re-derives everything cleanly. Set per-weekday schedules if your week has a rhythm. Glance at a fast from your wrist with a first-class Apple Watch app and complications, or from Home- and Lock-Screen widgets. Your weight and trend (optionally) come straight from Apple Health, so you never re-enter them. Your data is yours to take, any time, with free CSV and JSON export. Set your fasting goals, then go achieve them. The one optional money moment is a single one-time unlock — once, never a subscription — that adds cosmetic themes, a deeper insights panel, and a quiet "I supported the developer" acknowledgment. Nothing that gates functionality.
