Supported vs Pebble

Care for someone with chronic illness - without exhausting them. Supported is a free companion app for partners, parents, adult children, and friends caring for someone living with chronic illness. See how they are doing at a glance. Know what helps. Keep a private care log. Look after yourself too. WHY SUPPORTED "How are you today?" can be exhausting to answer when you are already exhausted. During a flare, the person you love may not be able to explain what they need. And as a carer, it is easy to lose track of what you have already done, what helped, and when you last had a good day yourself. Supported quietly fills those gaps. You should not have to keep asking. They should not have to keep explaining. And you should not have to keep everything in your head. WHAT YOU GET - FREE, FOREVER - Multi-person dashboard. Track everyone you care for in one place. Day rating, energy, flare and crash days, all at a glance. - Live needs. When they tap "I need quiet" or "Bring water" in a paired app, you can see it on your phone, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch. - Care log. A private journal of what you have done - meals, medication, appointments, emotional support. Yours alone, never shared. - Important info. Conditions, medications, allergies, contacts, GP details, what helps, and flare plans ready when you need them. - Wellbeing check-ins. Notice when care is becoming heavier, track days since a good day, and plan respite before you run empty. - Communication guide. What to say, and what not to say, for ten of the hardest moments. - Condition guides. ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, EDS, POTS, MS, ADHD, autism, IBS, lupus, epilepsy, and more. - Reports. Care log and wellbeing PDFs for records, GP appointments, support conversations, or benefits/disability paperwork. - Apple Watch and widgets. Status at a glance on your wrist, Home Screen, and Lock Screen. WORKS WITH OR WITHOUT THEIR APP Supported works fully on its own. Add their conditions, what helps them, and their flare plan manually if you want. When the person you care for uses Tended, Metered, or Tolerated - all from Cocoacorn - their daily status can flow in automatically through iCloud sharing. They stay in control of what they share. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN No accounts. No servers. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. Everything stays on your device and in your personal iCloud. Your care log is never shared with the person you care for or anyone else. Cocoacorn cannot read your care log, wellbeing check-ins, or the shared status you receive. Supported is a companion and care-organisation app, not medical advice or emergency monitoring.

Pebble is a hand-drawn symptom diary that takes thirty seconds a day. No cloud, no accounts, no streaks. Just enough to walk into your next appointment prepared. Three sliders for energy, pain, and mood. Tap a few symptoms. Close the app. That's the whole daily log. Then once a month — or before your next doctor's visit — Pebble prints a one-page brief. A short, plain-language summary your doctor can actually read. Not a 12-page spreadsheet. Not a scrollable chart dump. One page, sixty seconds. — Made for foggy days — Pebble is built for chronic illness, ADHD, and AuDHD. For people with fibromyalgia, POTS, EDS, migraine, IBS, endometriosis, long COVID, PMDD, ME/CFS — and anyone whose health doesn't fit neatly into "feeling well" or "feeling sick" boxes. If your brain can't track ten things at once. If filling out another form is the last thing you have energy for. If you've ever forgotten half your symptoms by the time you got to your appointment — this is for you. — What you log — • Mood, energy, and pain on simple sliders • Where the pain is — a small body diagram (front + back) you can tap to mark the spots • Your own symptoms, from a customizable list (no 2,000-symptom menus) • Medications — taken or skipped, no guilt either way • Cycle, if you track one • Flare-ups, on the days they happen • Short voice notes, transcribed on your phone • Sleep, steps, and resting heart rate from Apple Health (optional) — The doctor brief — The hero feature. Pebble reads your last 7, 14, or 30 days and writes: "Energy dropped sharply on Tuesday and stayed below baseline through Thursday. Pain peaked at 8/10 on Wednesday morning, correlated with poor sleep the night before. Brain fog was reported 4 of the last 7 days." A paragraph your doctor reads in sixty seconds. Print it. Email it. Screenshot it to your patient portal. Walk in prepared. — Nothing leaves your phone — Pebble has no accounts. No cloud sync. No analytics. No third-party trackers. Your symptom data is encrypted on your phone and never leaves it. Not by Pebble, not by anyone. Even your daily logs stay local. The only network calls Pebble ever makes: weather lookup, opt-in, city-level only, never precise GPS; and receipt validation for Premium purchases. That's the entire list. — No streaks, no guilt — Pebble has no streak counter. No "you missed yesterday" notifications. No gamification. Vacation mode for flare weeks lets you skip without losing anything. Streaks were the wrong shape for chronic illness from day one. — Premium — $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year. Unlocks unlimited briefs, intraday mood capture (Moments), a private backup file you control, and your voice notes folded into the brief. The free tier is fully usable forever — log every day, get one brief a week. — Who built this — I made Pebble for my wife. She came home from doctor visits frustrated they didn't believe how bad it was, and the other apps were too much. Pebble is the artifact she wished she had: small, calm, defensible.
