September is Pain Awareness Month. We're collecting short stories from people who live with chronic pain — read them, or add your own, at flarelog.app/stories.
Built by someone who spent months tracking his own condition in a spreadsheet because nothing else felt right.
If you've been dismissed, doubted, or told to wait it out, this app is your evidence. A quiet, structured way to document your symptoms and walk into your next appointment with real data instead of a half-remembered list.
Flare works for fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraine, endometriosis, back pain, pelvic pain, nerve pain -- and any condition you want to track.
WHAT YOU CAN TRACK
- Pain, fatigue, stiffness, brain fog, or any symptom you want to add
- Severity on a named five-level scale (None to Severe), never "3/10"
- Medications, dosages, and medication courses with dose changes
- Treatments (physical therapy, injections, procedures)
- Provider visits and follow-ups
- Day notes with quick suggestions to capture context fast
LOG ON YOUR TERMS
- Log whenever you need to, no fixed schedule, no guilt
- Each entry is timestamped to the minute
- Tap a cell to record, press Log to add another entry anytime
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT
- See your history in a scrollable, color-coded timeline
- Spot patterns across weeks and months at a glance
- See whether weather seems to matter -- Flare quietly compares your ratings with local pressure changes (optional, approximate location only)
- See what changed on each medication course, and choose which courses count
- See when your symptoms peak with a time-of-day heatmap
- Discover which symptoms appear together
- Generate PDF reports formatted for appointments
- Export an AI-friendly file and share it with your AI of choice
- Export raw CSV data for your own analysis
- Back up and restore your data anytime
FLARE PRO
Monthly or annual subscription (both with a free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase. Unlocks trend analysis, weather insights, course impact, visit snapshots, suggested appointment questions, and PDF / CSV / AI exports.
PRIVACY FIRST
- No account required
- No ads
- Your symptoms, notes, and history never leave your device
- Weather insights are optional, off by default, and use only an approximate area -- never your precise location

Finally an app that I can use! I love everything about it. I like that I can customize to what I want. I'm only using the free version but am seriously considering purchasing the full version. I want to try it out for a while first.
Developer Response
Thank you - this made my day! Customization was the whole point. Everyone’s pain looks different, so the app should bend to you and not the other way around. Take your time with the free version - I’ve got some new features coming out soon that will make it even better! If you hit anything that feels missing, tell me and I’ll happily look at it.
Simple and easy to use!

Been looking for a symptom tracker that has just symptoms and a simplistic way to log and this has been wonderful! No limits on the symptoms or activities that you can place and I love that there are reminders that keep you on track. I also love how the app is functional even without a subscription, though I wish the statistics were available on the free version as well, I’m happy to have a majority of the apps functionality without having to pay a whopping fee for premium.
Helps me a lot

Brought the PDF from flare to my lady appointment and my doctor stopped and said she wished more of her patients tracked like this! We covered more in 15 minutes than we usually do in a full visit worth it for that alone.
Wish I had sooner

Been dealing with chronic endo for over a year. Tracked everything on notes app for months before this. The 3x a day check in is smart because my pain at 8am is different than 9pm
See if weather seems to matter
Weather insights can now compare future symptom ratings with local weather and
surface the pattern in plain language. It is optional, starts only when you tap
to enable it, and uses an approximate area — never your saved health history or
precise location.
Choose which medication courses appear in Course Impact — hide finished or
irrelevant courses without losing their history.
Also in this update: a more visual Trends layout, clearer insight cards,
timeline tips, and a sample Trends preview in onboarding and for free users.
