About Chronic Friends: Symptom Log
Living with a chronic condition can feel lonely and hard to explain. Chronic Friends gives you one warm, private place to record how you really feel, see your own patterns, and connect with people who truly understand — because they live it too. Chronic Friends is dedicated exclusively to chronic illness. It supports Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, endometriosis, asthma, COPD, diabetes, chronic fatigue (ME/CFS), migraine, anxiety, depression and many more — around 50 conditions in total, organized by body system, so you only see the trackers that matter to you. Living with more than one condition? Follow several at once. YOUR DAILY CHECK-IN • One quick journal a day: pain, energy, sleep, food, movement, mood and more • Extra questions adapted to your conditions: joints, skin, eyes, digestion, breathing, pelvic health, mind • A calendar that shows good days and hard days at a glance SEE YOUR OWN PATTERNS • Clear charts of everything you log, over weeks, months or years • My Flare Radar brings your recent entries together in one visual — a conversation starter for your next appointment, never a diagnosis • Download a PDF health report to share with your doctor — free for everyone MEDICATION, UNDER CONTROL • Reminders with their own long alarm sound, repeated up to three times until you answer • Mark each dose as taken or skipped, see your adherence, and get a heads-up when supplies run low FLARE MODE — FOR THE HARD DAYS • One tap turns the app into a calmer, quieter space • Gentle quick-logs, an emergency info card and a flare report you can download — all free • Breathing and grounding tools (Meditation) and offline games (Entertainment) are part of Premium • When it passes, your notes are saved for your next hard day A COMMUNITY THAT GETS IT • Share experiences and encouragement with people who understand • Kind by design: peer experiences, not medical advice FOOD JOURNAL • Log meals in seconds and scan product barcodes to look them up (Premium) • Build your own private list of foods that sit well with you PREMIUM Chronic Friends is free to use — including the community, the full journal, medication reminders, connecting Health Sync and every PDF report. Premium unlocks four things: Food Scan, Tools, Meditation and Entertainment. • Monthly $7.99 · 6 months $29.99 · Yearly $49.99 · Lifetime $149.99 (one-time) • 30-day free trial on recurring plans Prices may vary by region; the final price is always shown in the store before you buy.

What’s new
Version 1.0.8 · Updated October 3, 2026
• Translate posts: tap “Translate” under a post in the Community or the Tools room to read it in your language. The translation is made on your iPhone (iOS 18 or later). • Notifications: turn them on with one tap, right where the app tells you they are off. • Help & feedback, in Settings: send us a question, a suggestion or a problem. • Invite someone to Chronic Friends, right under Recent Chats. • Journal: the flare question shows the areas of your own condition, and Muscles & Joints asks “Where does it hurt or feel stiff?”. • Zen Music in Meditation: four long pieces to rest or fall asleep to, with a sleep timer. It keeps playing with the screen locked. • Together: do a Meditation ritual at the same time as a friend, each on your own phone, and see that the other is there. • Friend requests and chats always arrive as soon as you open the app, and likes count once. • The step tournament shows each person’s photo and when their steps were last updated. • Activity level: now High, Low or Rest.
