Chronic Pain Tracker & Diary
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your pain is real β PainLog helps you show it in numbers. When a doctor asks "how bad, how often, where exactly?", memory blurs the worst weeks. PainLog is a fast, private pain diary: log each episode in seconds, watch the pattern appear on charts and a body map, and walk into your next appointment with the whole record in your hand. PainLog is built for the moment pain actually strikes. No account, no forms, no wellness quiz β open the app, set the 0β10 intensity, tap the body area and how it feels, done. The diary does the remembering so you can get on with your day. WHAT YOU GET β’ An episode logged in seconds β intensity on the 0β10 scale doctors use, body area, descriptors like sharp, burning or throbbing, duration and a note β’ A CSV report of every episode β dates, scores, areas, types β ready to hand to your GP, specialist or physio β’ Your last 7 and 30 days drawn as one intensity curve, so "it has been worse lately" becomes a line you can point to β’ A body map that shades the areas you log most β tap one and your whole history filters to just that spot β’ A flare-up alert when you have logged at or above your own threshold on consecutive days β’ A daily check-in reminder at the time you choose, so bad weeks get recorded instead of half-remembered PERFECT FOR β’ Living with fibromyalgia, arthritis or nerve pain and tired of answering "on a scale of one to ten?" from memory β’ Back pain that comes and goes β find out whether it is really improving or you are just having a good day β’ Preparing for a specialist referral, insurance claim or disability paperwork that needs dates and numbers β’ Judging a new medication or physio programme against what you actually felt, day by day WHY NOT JUST A NOTES APP? A note says "back was bad on Tuesday". PainLog says 7/10, lower back, sharp and shooting, 90 minutes β and turns fifty such entries into daily averages, a trend line and a most-affected-areas map. That is the difference between telling your doctor a story and handing them data. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your diary stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no server β PainLog collects nothing and sends nothing. Your record leaves the device only when you choose to export it. FULL ACCESS PainLog requires Full Access, available as an auto-renewing weekly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Full Access unlocks the complete app: unlimited episode logging, full history with editing, the body map, 7- and 30-day trend charts, flare-up detection, the daily reminder and CSV export. Prices are shown in the app before purchase; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed anytime in your Apple ID settings. PainLog is a personal diary, not a medical device β it records what you report and never interprets your condition. Download PainLog and log your first episode tonight β your next appointment is closer than you think.

Behavioral Experiment
Read full descriptionHide full description
Anxious thoughts make confident predictions. I will freeze. They will notice. I wonβt cope. Behavioral Experiment gives you a way to check a prediction like that against what really happens, instead of taking the thoughtβs word for it. Itβs for anyone working on anxiety, worry, or avoidance, on your own or with a therapist. Behavioral experiments are one of the core methods of cognitive behavioral therapy, and the app guides you through one in four steps. You start by writing the worry as a belief and rating how true it feels. Then you plan a test. You pick a situation that would put the belief to the test, say what you expect to happen in terms you could see or count, and decide which safety behaviors to leave out, the small precautions that feel helpful but keep you from finding out. A plan can have a date and time, or it can wait until the situation comes up. While itβs happening, one screen holds your plan, your prediction, and the safety behaviors youβre leaving out, with room for a few notes that carry into the review. Afterward you record what happened, see it next to what you predicted, and rate the belief again. If you write down a next step, Plan this turns it into the next experiment. When something feels too big to attempt, build a step ladder. Break the goal into rungs rated for expected distress, plan any rung as its own experiment, and move up when a rung feels solid enough. Nine short articles with references explain the ideas behind the method, from how anxiety works and the cycle of avoidance to safety behaviors, predictions, and ladders. Each step has plain guidance and a finished example you can open and read. If you see a therapist, flag experiments to talk about and share a session summary as a PDF, or copy any belief or experiment as text. Reminders are optional and say only that itβs time, or that itβs coming up and when, unless you choose to show your plan in them. On iOS 18 and later, add Record an experiment to Control Center to write down something that just happened while itβs fresh. Free, with no ads, no accounts, and no tracking. Everything you write stays on your device. Turn on iCloud sync to see it on your other devices, lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, and delete everything whenever you like. Nothing is ever sent to us. In English and Spanish, with ratings from 0 to 100 or 0 to 10. Behavioral Experiment is a guided worksheet with educational articles. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. It is not therapy or medical care, it is not for emergencies, and using it does not create a professional relationship with us. For medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, talk with a healthcare professional. If you work with a therapist, plan experiments with them. You decide whether to do any experiment, and you do it at your own risk.
