Flare - Chronic Pain Tracker

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 back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine, endometriosis, pelvic pain, sciatica, nerve pain -- and any condition you want to track. Start from a template for your condition, or build your own.

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"
Descriptions for how a symptom feels -- aching, burning, throbbing, or your own words
Medications, dosages, and medication courses with dose changes
Activities and treatments (physical therapy, injections, exercise), including your own
Daily notes, typed, dictated, or added with a Quick note
LOG ON YOUR TERMS
