Track chronic illness without turning your health into homework. Tended is a privacy-first health journal and symptom tracker for people living with long-term symptoms, pain, fatigue, flares, and appointments that never quite fit into ten minutes. Log in seconds, notice possible patterns, and prepare for doctor appointments without streaks, guilt, accounts, analytics, data collection, or external servers. LOG IN SECONDS, EVEN ON HARD DAYS When thinking is hard, Tended keeps logging light. Record a day rating, symptoms, pain, medications, energy, sleep, mood, bowel changes, food, triggers, activities, periods, photos, and notes at your own pace. Use Apple Watch, widgets, Siri, the Lock Screen, or the full app when opening your phone feels like too much. Duplicate yesterday, edit only what changed, or describe your day in your own words with optional on-device AI. BUILT FOR CHRONIC ILLNESS Tended is made for fluctuating conditions where a normal habit tracker does not fit. Use it as a chronic illness journal, symptom tracker, pain tracker, medication tracker, flare tracker, energy tracking tool, sleep tracking companion, and body map. Condition starter sets help you begin with relevant symptoms and triggers for fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, lupus, endometriosis, PMOS / PCOS, POTS, EDS, migraine, MS, IBD, PMDD, and many more. SEE PATTERNS IN YOUR OWN DATA Your journal can become more useful over time. Tended may help you notice possible links between symptoms, medications, food, sleep, activity, weather, Apple Health averages, menstrual cycle phases, flares, and better days. Insights are based on what you log yourself. They are self-reported observations, not clinical findings, so you stay in charge of what feels useful. PREPARE FOR APPOINTMENTS When brain fog arrives before your appointment, Tended helps you bring the important parts with you. Use Doctor Mode, appointment notes, body map history, medication adherence, symptom trends, focused visual reports, and PDF health reports to explain what has been happening. Tended+ unlocks longer history, deeper pattern insights, trigger experiments, appointment-ready PDF health reports, focused evidence and care PDFs, and CSV export for people who want to go deeper. STAY CONNECTED, WITHOUT OVERSHARING If you choose, Tended can help you share small practical updates with someone you trust through Supported, the carer companion app. Send a quiet check-in, a quick need, or a regular summary without exposing your whole private journal. FREE FOREVER. NO GUILT. Every tracking feature is free and unlimited. There are no streaks, no shame, and no "you missed a day" messages. Tended+ is for people who want longer-term insight and appointment-ready reports. The free journal stays useful on its own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No data collection. No external server. Your journal lives on your device or in your personal iCloud. Apple Health data is read only when you allow it. Optional on-device AI features run on your device where available; your journal is not sent to Cocoacorn servers. Use Tended gently, at your own pace. Bring what helps. Leave the rest. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER Tended is a personal health journal, not a medical device or clinical tool. It is not a substitute for medical advice or emergency support. Content is based on what you log yourself and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions. Tended does not monitor journal entries for distress. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency or crisis support.

About

SnoozeSync

Read full description

SnoozeSync is a clinically-grounded sleep improvement program built on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) — the gold-standard, non-medication treatment recommended by sleep doctors worldwide. Unlike sleep trackers that just measure your sleep, SnoozeSync actively retrains your brain to sleep better. In as little as a few weeks, most users experience lasting improvement in sleep quality, falling asleep faster, and waking up feeling truly rested. HOW IT WORKS SnoozeSync guides you through the four proven pillars of CBT-I: • Sleep Diary — Log your sleep every morning to track your Sleep Efficiency score. Your data drives your personalized prescription. • Lessons — Science-based modules that identify and fix the habits, thoughts, and behaviors keeping you awake. Learn why you can't sleep and how to fix it for good. • AI Coach — Your personal sleep expert, available 24/7. Ask anything about your sleep, your progress, or CBT-I techniques and get expert, evidence-based guidance. • Relaxation — Tactical breathing and wind-down exercises designed to lower bedtime arousal and quiet a racing mind. YOUR CBT-I PRESCRIPTION Every night, SnoozeSync gives you a personalized sleep window — a specific bedtime and wake time calculated from your diary data. By anchoring to a consistent wake time every single day (including weekends), your circadian rhythm resets and your sleep drive rebuilds naturally. WHO IT'S FOR SnoozeSync is designed for anyone who: • Lies awake for hours trying to fall asleep • Wakes up at 3 AM and can't get back to sleep • Wakes too early and feels unrefreshed • Has tried sleep aids, supplements, or trackers without lasting results WHAT MAKES SNOOZESYNC DIFFERENT CBT-I is proven more effective than sleep medication for chronic insomnia — and unlike pills, the results last. SnoozeSync puts this clinically-validated program in your pocket, with a personalized approach that adapts as your sleep improves.
