Heartburn after coffee? A throat that needs clearing every morning? Reflux shows up differently for everyone, and the only pattern that matters is yours. Refluxa is a reflux and LPR (silent reflux) tracker that connects what you eat, how you live and how you feel, so you can see your personal triggers instead of guessing. FIND YOUR TRIGGERS Log meals and symptoms, and Refluxa cross-references every exposure. After a few days you see which foods and habits are followed by symptoms more often than your own baseline, each with a confidence level. Correlation in your data, clearly explained. SCAN ANY MEAL Point your camera at your plate. Refluxa recognizes the items and scores each one for acidity and trigger risk, based on mainstream reflux dietary guidance. Adjust anything before saving. Manual search over 300+ foods works just as fast. BUILT FOR SILENT REFLUX TOO Most reflux apps stop at heartburn. Refluxa includes the throat-focused symptom set (hoarseness, throat clearing, globus, cough) and a reflux profile quiz based on the Reflux Symptom Index, so LPR patterns get tracked properly from day one. NEVER RE-ENTER A PILL Add your medication once, pick your times, and log each dose with one tap right from the reminder. The adherence view shows your week at a glance. DOCTOR-READY REPORTS Turn 30 days of logs into a clean PDF summary: symptom frequency, suspected triggers and medication adherence. Walk into your next appointment with data instead of vague recollections. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything you log lives on your device. No account needed. Export to CSV anytime. Refluxa is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It helps you track and understand your own patterns. Always consult your doctor. Refluxa Pro is a subscription: $4.99 per week, or $39.99 per year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
