Bowel is a private log for your bowel movements. One screen, one tap, no account. Built for adults managing IBS, IBD, Crohn's, colitis, chronic constipation, or food sensitivities. Made for the moment after you go. How it works Open the app. Tap a Bristol Stool Scale type. Add optional details if you want: color, urgency, duration, blood, notes. Save. Most entries take five seconds. The Bristol Stool Scale, built in The Bristol Scale is the international medical standard your gastroenterologist uses. Bowel includes clean illustrations of all seven types so you always log the right one. Doctor-ready PDF export Export your last 30 days, 90 days, or full history as a clean PDF. Summary statistics, Bristol distribution, full entry log — typeset like a real medical document. Hand it to your doctor at your next appointment. Private by default Your entries stay on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no third parties. Your bowel log is yours — we never see it, and we built the app so we never can. No ads, no upsells, no nonsense Bowel is free. No in-app purchases, no premium tiers, no nag screens. We don't track you, we don't sell data, we don't email you. What Bowel isn't We deliberately don't track food, medications, mood, water, or FODMAP scores. Bowel is a single-purpose tool for logging bowel movements. If you want a full digestive health platform, there are good apps for that, this isn't one of them. Bowel is a personal tracking tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Always consult your doctor about persistent changes in bowel habits, especially if you notice blood in stool.
