MyLongPath was born from a personal story. When Long COVID hit our family, we faced the same reality as millions: scattered information, no structured way to track what helps, and the deep loneliness of a condition few people understand. So we built what we wished existed. MyLongPath is a free platform made for Long COVID patients, by a patient family. It helps you track your daily health, understand your patterns, and learn from the real-world experience of patients who share your profile. YOUR DAILY JOURNAL Log your energy, symptoms, sleep, and mood in under a minute. Track your medications with smart dosage memory. Watch your trends over weeks and months with clear, visual charts. FIND PATIENTS LIKE YOU Our matching algorithm connects you with anonymized patients who share your symptom profile, age, and treatment history. See what worked for them β€” treatments, pacing strategies, supplements β€” backed by real community data. TREATMENT INSIGHTS Every treatment on MyLongPath comes with honest community statistics: what percentage of similar patients found it helpful, how long before effects appeared, and what side effects were reported. No hype, just shared experience. PEM DETECTION & PACING Track your energy envelope and get alerts when you're at risk of post-exertional malaise. The pacing tools help you plan your days around your real capacity β€” not the one you wish you had. MEDICAL REPORT FOR YOUR DOCTOR Generate a structured PDF report with your symptom history, treatment timeline, and daily trends. Walk into your next appointment prepared, and help your doctor understand your journey at a glance. COMMUNITY FORUM A safe, moderated space organized by symptoms and treatments β€” not a chaotic feed. Share your experience, ask questions, and find support from people who truly get it. CAREGIVER MODE A loved one can help you log your journal on difficult days, with permissions you control entirely. VOICE JOURNAL Too exhausted to type? Dictate your journal entry. Our AI extracts the key data β€” energy, symptoms, mood β€” so you don't have to. PRIVACY FIRST Your health data stays in your region (France or Switzerland). We never sell your data. You control what's shared anonymously and can opt out anytime. MyLongPath is 100% free. No ads, no paywall, no hidden costs. We believe every Long COVID patient deserves these tools. You are not alone. Let's walk this path together.

Read full description

Paceful is a meditation app designed specifically for people living with chronic illness, M.E./CFS, fatigue, flare-ups, pain, sensory overwhelm, and post-exertional recovery. Unlike generic meditation apps, Paceful is built around low-effort, low-stimulation support. Sessions are gently paced, easy to follow, and designed to help you settle without pressure, performance, or the need to β€œclear your mind.” Whether you are resting after activity, managing a difficult symptom day, preparing for sleep, or simply looking for a softer moment of calm, Paceful gives you meditation tools that meet you where you are. What Paceful Includes Guided meditations across five calm styles: Body Scan, Breath-Based Calm, Check-In, Guided Relaxation, and Visualization. Sessions for different needs: Sleep, Acceptance, Pain, Energy, and Post-Exertion Recovery. Flare Support: A simple, easy-access mode designed for moments when fatigue or overwhelm makes navigation feel difficult. Optional ambient sound: Add Forest, Rain, or Beach ambience beneath supported meditations for a more immersive experience. Browse by guide: Choose sessions by voice so you can return to the guides that feel most soothing. Today’s Session: A daily recommendation to reduce decision fatigue. Listen Again: Quickly return to sessions you use most often. Playlists: Save favourite meditations and build simple personal playlists. Meditation timer: Set your own quiet practice with gentle bell sounds. Stats and profile: Track time spent meditating, streaks, common practice times, and your personal account details. Made for Chronic Illness Paceful is intentionally gentle. The app avoids overwhelming layouts, intense demands, and achievement-based pressure. It is made for people who may have limited energy, brain fog, sensory sensitivity, pain, or fluctuating symptoms. You can start with free guided sessions, then subscribe to unlock the full library, all voices, ambience options, monthly new meditations, and ongoing updates. Paceful is not a medical treatment or replacement for professional care. It is a supportive meditation companion for rest, pacing, and nervous-system settling.
