Find the foods behind your bloating, IBS, and digestive symptoms with Settle, a private gut health diary that keeps everything on your iPhone. There is no account to create and no cloud sign-up. Your data syncs only through your own iCloud, and it is never sent to a company server. Why Settle is different Most trackers ask you to hand your most personal health data to their servers. Settle does the opposite. Your logs live on your device, and the food-to-symptom patterns are calculated right on your iPhone. They are worded as possible patterns, never as a diagnosis or a made-up score. What you can log - Bowel movements on the Bristol Stool Scale, with a fast visual picker - Symptoms like bloating, gas, cramping, nausea, heartburn, urgency, or your own custom label - Meals and food tags, so you can connect what you ate to how you felt - Daily check-ins for mood, stress, sleep, energy, water, and cycle context - Medication and supplements, with dose and timing Find your trigger foods Settle looks at what you ate before a symptom appeared and ranks the likely culprits. You get clear patterns instead of guesswork, so you can test changes with confidence. Made for your doctor visit Export a free CSV copy of your data or a clean PDF summary for a GP, gastroenterologist, or dietitian. You walk into the appointment with a record, not a memory. Private by design - Every entry is stored on your device - Sync is optional and runs through your personal iCloud - Works without a login and never runs third-party tracking - You can delete everything in one tap, any time Free, with an optional upgrade Logging, CSV export, and PDF summaries are free and unlimited. Premium adds your complete history, every trend chart, the food-to-symptom analysis, and custom reminders. Premium is billed monthly or annually, and the annual plan costs less than most gut trackers charge. A calmer way to understand your gut Settle is built to feel quiet and clear, the kind of app you actually want to open on a bad gut day. Start logging today and let the patterns come to you. Settle is a wellness and tracking tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified health professional about your symptoms. terms of use (EULA) https://settleyourgut.com/legal/terms-of-use privacy policy https://settleyourgut.com/legal/privacy-policy
