Tended vs Thala

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.

Persistent pain does not always mean structural damage. Sometimes pain can continue because the nervous system has learned to produce it, a mechanism described in modern pain science, with recognisable patterns in how pain behaves from day to day. Thala looks for those patterns in your own data. WHAT IT ANALYSES You log for about a minute a day. For each pain you're tracking, you record how bad it got, how mild it got, roughly when it peaked, and what it felt like. You also record how you slept, how you felt using a simple feeling wheel, and anything stressful that happened. Thala reads that history back and shows you which recognised indicators actually appear in your data: • Pain that moves between locations or spreads • Wide variation from one day to the next • Pain-free and low-pain stretches • Links between your emotional state and pain level • Times of day that are consistently worse or better • How your pain peaks and lowest points change over time Every finding shows the days it is based on, so you can check the evidence yourself. And an absent finding is a result too — if these patterns aren't in your data, Thala says so rather than reaching. This is analysis of your diary. It is not a diagnosis, and it cannot tell you what is causing your pain — only what your own record does and does not show. GENERAL ANALYSIS Alongside that, you get charts over any timeframe, a scrollable history, per-pain breakdowns, and trends in your peaks, lowest points and flare-ups. Track several pains at once and compare them. Stop tracking one without losing its history. BUILT TO BE READ BACK Appointments are short and memory is unreliable. Thala turns months of daily entries into something you can actually show someone: your charts, history, and findings with the evidence behind them. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS • No adverts, no data sold, and nothing shared with insurers or employers • Your entries are never sent to our analytics or crash-reporting tools • Delete your account from inside the app and everything goes with it, permanently • Free to use A NOTE ON WHAT THIS IS Thala is a diary and general wellness tool. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose or treat anything, and nothing in it is medical advice. A pattern is not a cause — it may be a coincidence, and it may be wrong. Always talk to a qualified clinician about your symptoms, and never delay or disregard professional advice because of something you read here.
