Your symptoms, in Apple Health — where they belong. Symptora is a private, on-device symptom tracker that logs in seconds, keeps your data yours, and shares it with your doctor through Apple Health. One-time purchase — no subscription, no account, no tracking. LOG IN SECONDS Tap the symptom, tap how it feels — done. Back-date an entry, add a note (dictate it with your keyboard mic), or attach a photo. Built for the days when you don't have the energy to fuss with an app. HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI & SHORTCUTS Log without even opening the app — "Hey Siri, log a symptom in Symptora," a tap of the Action Button, a home-screen Shortcut, or Spotlight. Your fastest entry yet, all on-device. IT LIVES IN APPLE HEALTH Native Apple Health symptoms, read and written directly. Your entries show up in the Health app under Browse → Symptoms — visible to you, shareable with your doctor, and yours forever. Leave Symptora anytime and your data stays in Health. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is on your device. No account to create, no server to trust, no analytics, no data sale. Photos you attach never leave your phone. That's why our App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected." SEE THE PATTERNS (Symptora+) Insights surface possible patterns in your symptoms to discuss with your doctor — statistical, never a diagnosis. Track multiple profiles, log custom symptoms, choose themes and app icons, add a home-screen widget, and prep for appointments with Visit Prep: what changed since your last visit, plus your own question checklist. HAND YOUR DOCTOR A CLEAN REPORT (Symptora+) Export a formatted PDF — your symptoms, severities, notes, and attached photos over any date range — ready to share at your next appointment. CSV and JSON exports are always free. ONE PRICE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Symptora is free to start. Symptora+ unlocks the premium features with a single one-time purchase — we don't rent you your own health data. Symptora is a personal symptom log, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or give medical advice. Always talk to a qualified clinician about your health.
