Truly Simple Symptom Log

Read full description

Truly Simple Symptom Log is built around a single conviction: health tracking should take seconds, not minutes. Most symptom trackers are overbuilt and cluttered with complicated graphs, gamification, mandatory onboarding, and subscriptions that make the act of recording how you feel a chore. This app strips all of that away. It features a calm, minimal, one-screen logging interface that feels closer to a personal journal than a medical tool. It’s perfect for people with chronic conditions, people exploring cause-and-effect with their health, or anyone who just wants a friction-free way to log their mood and symptoms and then move on with their day. There's an in-app purchase that allows you to lock the app and export your data, but all core features are available in the free version and can be used for free as long as you like. Features: β€’ One-screen logging: Record your mood, symptoms, potential causes, and notes on a single page. No tabs or multi-step wizards. β€’ Heatmap calendar: A color-coded monthly data view gives you an instant visual summary of how you've been feeling over time, so patterns become obvious at a glance. β€’ Accessible by design: Enlarged, comfortable touch targets prevent mis-taps when you're not feeling well. Fully optimized for VoiceOver screen readers and scalable dynamic text for low vision. β€’ iCloud Sync: Logs sync silently and automatically across your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Status indicators let you know your data is secure at a glance. β€’ Free core features: All core logging is completely free. A single one-time, lifetime purchase unlocks optional data exports and a biometric privacy lock.

AuDHD

Features
Read full description

AuDHD is a calm, offline companion for parents raising a child with autism or ADHD. It turns the everyday work of parenting into something you can see, keep, and share with your child's doctor. Everything stays on your phone. There is no account to create, no server, no ads, and no analytics. A DAY YOUR CHILD CAN SEE Build a picture schedule from morning to evening. Each finished task earns a star, and the stars add up to rewards that you choose yourself. Children who struggle with transitions can look at the next step instead of being told about it. THINGS TO DO AT HOME Dozens of activities using what you already own: clothespins, tape, a towel, a spoon. Each one lists how long it takes and which sense it works on, so you can pick what fits the mood of the day. MILESTONES THAT FOLLOW YOUR CHILD Track growth against age-appropriate developmental milestones. Nothing is scored or graded. It is a record of what your child can do, kept in one place. BEHAVIOR YOU CAN EXPLAIN Note what happened before, what your child did, and what happened after. Over weeks, patterns appear that are hard to notice day to day. A SENSORY PROFILE A checklist that shows whether your child seeks or avoids each kind of sensation, with practical suggestions for each result. A REPORT FOR THE DOCTOR One tap builds a PDF covering mood, behavior, sensory profile and routine over the last 30, 60 or 90 days. Share it or print it. Appointments are short. Walking in with a written record changes the conversation. FOR THE PARENT TOO Short notes to help you understand what your child is doing and why, plus small reminders that you need looking after as well. PRIVACY AuDHD works with no internet connection. Your child's name, photo, and records never leave your phone. You can delete everything at any time. IMPORTANT AuDHD is an observation tool for use at home. It is not a diagnosis and it does not replace a professional assessment. It cannot tell you whether your child has autism or ADHD. Please consult a licensed developmental pediatrician. Milestone content is based on publicly available CDC developmental milestones.
