BellySignal is a poop tracker and bowel diary for recording your daily digestive patterns. Log stool form with the Bristol stool chart, urine color, water intake, and food and habits in one place. Start without an account. KEEP A BOWEL MOVEMENT DIARY Choose a Bristol stool type from 1 to 7, record color, and note blood or mucus you notice. Add observations such as belly pain, bloating, urgency, or straining to keep a useful record over time. TRACK WATER, FOOD AND HABITS Log water toward your daily goal and record urine color. Add coffee, alcohol, dairy, spicy food, stress or poor sleep to look back at what happened around changes in your digestion. A pattern does not prove that a food caused a symptom. REVIEW TRENDS AND EXPORT A PDF See your entries together in Trends. Export a PDF summary of the last 90 days from Settings and choose whether to share it at a medical appointment. You can also export a backup file and restore it later. START WITHOUT SIGNING IN Your diary is stored locally by default. An account is optional and does not currently sync your health diary between devices. You choose where exported files go and whether to enable health-platform integration. Some health values, including stool type, symptoms and manually entered weight, are sent to PostHog, which is on by default. The Usage analytics switch controls PostHog only. Firebase Analytics receives usage events without those health values and stays active even when the switch is off. Deleting local entries does not automatically delete analytics data that has already been sent. You can delete your diary entries in Settings. BellySignal is a self-recording tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose IBS, food intolerance or other conditions, determine the cause of symptoms, or provide treatment. Discuss concerns with a qualified healthcare professional. Privacy Policy: https://bellysignal.com/en/legal/privacy/ Terms of Service: https://bellysignal.com/en/legal/terms/

Most migraine trackers assume you can fill in a form mid-migraine. MigraineSpy assumes you are having a migraine right now and cannot. It's designed to be simple so you can focus on recovery. Open it and there is one button: Migraine started. Tap it and you are done. Tap End migraine when it passes. Intensity, symptoms, notes and medications are all optional, and you can add them later, or never — the entry is already saved. ONE TAP, NOTHING REQUIRED The only thing MigraineSpy ever needs is a start time. Nothing is mandatory, nothing blocks you, and there is no form to complete before your migraine counts. Elapsed time is worked out from when you started, so an entry survives a force quit, a restart, or a flat battery. SYMPTOMS THAT NEVER BECOME A MIGRAINE Aura on its own. A wave of nausea. A visual disturbance that passes. These get their own kind of entry, so they stay part of your history without being counted as a migraine day and quietly inflating every number you watch. A REAL CALENDAR 1 Month, 30 days, 12 weeks, 20 weeks, 6 months or 12 months, each with a count for that period. Tap any day to see what happened. Intensity runs gold through orange to red, so a bad stretch is visible at a glance. STREAKS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS Days clear, and days in a row. Both matter, and both are there. MEDICATIONS, HONESTLY RECORDED What you took, what you took it for, and whether you noted that it helped, did nothing, or you are not sure. No claims, no scoring — just what you observed. COLOUR THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY The app can look bright at rest and mute itself the moment a migraine starts. Or stay bright. Or stay calm. There is a dark theme, a light theme, an ultra dim mode for during an attack, and a screen dimmer you can switch on mid-migraine. Lock to portrait is on by default, because a screen that turns when you roll over is the last thing you need. YOUR JOURNAL STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE There is no account, no sign-in, and nothing is sent to a server. Backup and restore are free and always will be — save a file wherever you like, and use it to move everything to a new phone. ONE OPTIONAL PURCHASE PDF export is a one-time purchase: a readable summary of any date range, to keep, print, or take to an appointment. Everything else, including backups, stays free. There is no subscription. MigraineSpy is a personal journal. It does not give medical advice and cannot diagnose or treat anything. If you are worried about your health, talk to a doctor.
