About PainBrief
Pain is hard to describe in a 10-minute appointment. PainBrief is built for the people that chronic pain follows around - the ones who've sat in waiting rooms trying to remember exactly when this all started, which medication helped, and what the pain actually feels like. Log a pain episode in seconds. See your patterns over weeks and months. When it's time to see your GP, specialist, or pain clinic, hand them a clean, professional PDF summary instead of trying to recall everything from memory. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK - Severity (1-10 scale), exact time, duration, and the body zones affected - tap a detailed front/back body map to mark wherever it hurts - What you were doing when it started (sleeping, walking, sitting, working, exercising) - Possible triggers (food, stress, weather, movement, nothing obvious) - Pain character - sharp, dull, burning, throbbing, stabbing, radiating, and more - Medications you take, with one-tap dose logging - Vitals: heart rate, blood pressure, weight, sleep, steps, SpO2, blood glucose, and more - sync from Apple Health or enter manually WHAT YOU'LL SEE (FREE) - Dashboard with this-week / last-week comparisons and a 14-day severity chart - Severity Trends - how your pain has changed over the past weeks or months - Body Heat Map - your most affected areas visualised on an anatomical view - Complete History tab - every episode and every dose, scrollable and searchable - Local-only storage. No accounts. No sign-up. Your data never leaves your phone. PAINBRIEF PRO (ONE-OFF $9.99) Unlock the deeper analysis and clinical sharing features: - Trigger Analysis - which activities, foods, and events drive your worst episodes - Time Patterns - hour-by-hour and day-by-day view of when pain hits hardest - Timeline / Journal - chronological log perfect for GP visits and specialist consults - Clinical PDF Export - a polished multi-page report with charts, body heat map, episode log, medication history, and vitals summary, ready to email or AirDrop to your healthcare team One-off purchase. Yours forever. No subscriptions. WHO IT'S FOR If you're living with fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraines, EDS, sciatica, endometriosis, ME/CFS, neuropathy, or any other condition where pain comes and goes in patterns nobody else can see - PainBrief was made for you. PRIVACY FIRST Every entry is stored only on your device, encrypted by iOS. We don't have servers. We don't have analytics. We don't have an account system. We have nothing to leak because we collect nothing. TRACK. UNDERSTAND. ADVOCATE. Made by an independent developer who got tired of forgetting what to tell the doctor. PainBrief is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your symptoms.
