MADE FOR YOUR WORST DAYS

Read more
  • Log a flare in about five seconds - tap a pain level, tap where it hurts, done.
  • Point to exactly where it hurts on a body map: left, right, front and back.
  • Add triggers, pain types, medications and notes later, once the flare passes.
  • During a flare, Home shows how long it has lasted. Tap "No pain now" when it eases.
  • Log from Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets or your Apple Watch, without opening the app.

SEE WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS

  • Medication relief: your pain before each dose next to your pain 30 minutes to 4 hours after it, for every medication.
  • Check-in after a dose: one notification asks how you feel now, and you answer right from it.
  • Set your own dose limits - a daily maximum and the hours between doses - and see where you stand on each medication. OuchLog only counts; it never blocks a dose.
  • A rolling 30-day counter of as-needed medication days, with a limit you set - a gentle nudge to check with your doctor.

FIND YOUR PATTERNS

  • Trends over 7, 30 or 90 days, compared with the period before
  • Flares: how many, how long they last, and the longest one
  • Time of day, most affected body regions, pain types and triggers - with the average pain level for each
  • Daily impact: days you missed work or school, and days you cut back on activities
  • Sleep and pain: connect Apple Health to compare your worst pain after short nights and long ones
  • A calendar with a color dot for every day

EACH MONTH, SUMMED UP

  • Pain days, flares, medication relief and what changed since the month before, on one page
  • An optional notification on the 1st of each month

WALK IN WITH PROOF

  • Add your doctor visits and the questions you want to ask
  • A reminder the evening before, with a report covering everything since your last visit
  • PDF reports for 7, 30 or 90 days, a custom range, or since your last visit - your questions printed at the top
  • CSV export of every entry

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

  • Your pain entries, notes and medications stay on your device. No account, no sign-up, and OuchLog has no server of its own: your entries are never sent to us.
  • Apple Health is optional and off until you connect it. New entries are saved there as symptoms; sleep read from it stays on your device.
  • Lock the diary with Face ID or your passcode.
  • Works fully offline; export a backup whenever you like.
  • No ads.

EASY TO USE WHILE HURTING

  • Large targets, high contrast, full Dynamic Type support
  • 20 languages

Everything OuchLog shows is a pattern in your own log. It is a pain diary, not a medical device: it does not diagnose or treat, and does not give medical advice. Always talk to a healthcare professional about your symptoms and before making decisions about medication.
