Symptom Attic

Private symptom & health diary

Symptom Attic is the free, privacy-focused way to stay on top of health conditions — whether you're a patient or a carer.

Living with a disability or chronic illness is hard work, and keeping track of changing symptoms is tricky. Symptom Attic makes it simple to record what matters to you, see how things change over time, and keep all your medical letters in one place — without handing your health data to anyone.

Record exactly what you need

Start with suggested things to track, or add your own — a migraine's pain, aura and nausea, a daily weight, a mood, anything. Logging each event stays quick.

See your health clearly

View your data as graphs, with recent and average values at a glance — plus a quick summary written right on your device.

No more folders of paper

Scan in doctor and hospital letters, or import PDFs, and Symptom Attic reads them for you. Search everything by condition, doctor or date.

A paper-free pacing diary

If you live with ME/CFS or another energy-limiting condition, the optional Diary is a pacing diary: log what you did, how long it took, and how tiring it felt. Over time it shows what really costs you energy — and you can export it as a PDF to share with your team.

For you, or someone you care for

Set up a separate profile for yourself or the person you care for, each with its own private data, and switch between them whenever you need.

Designed for privacy

  • Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud space
  • Any AI runs entirely on your device using Apple's on-device models — nothing is sent away
  • Completely free: no subscriptions, no adverts, no account to create
  • No third-party trackers. No Firebase, no Meta, nothing watching how you use the app

Made to fit your life

  • Sync with Apple Health (your main profile, off by default)
  • Gentle daily reminders to log how you're doing
  • Face ID / Touch ID app lock
  • Export and back up your data whenever you like
  • Works across your iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro

Symptom Attic is a personal record-keeping tool, not a medical device. It doesn't give medical advice, so always check with a healthcare professional about your health.
