Symptoms in seconds
Pick from a ready-made list — fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers, stomachache — or add your own. Rate it from mild to severe and you're done.
Symtrail is a calm, private health diary for families. Log a symptom in seconds, see patterns emerge over weeks, and walk into your next appointment with a clear report instead of a fuzzy memory.
Free to download. No account, no ads, no data selling.
What it does
Built by a parent who got tired of reconstructing three weeks of fevers from memory in a five-minute appointment.
Pick from a ready-made list — fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers, stomachache — or add your own. Rate it from mild to severe and you're done.
Every reading with its exact time, charted so you can see a fever climb and break. Celsius or Fahrenheit, your choice.
Record what you gave, how much and when — then set a reminder for the next dose so nobody has to do mental arithmetic at 2am.
A separate history for each child, for a parent you care for, and for yourself. Switch between them in a tap.
Scan the month at a glance, or filter the whole history by symptom, severity, type and date range to answer "when did this last happen?"
Export a tidy PDF summary of flares, temperatures and medications — share it before the appointment or hand over your phone during it.
Patterns, not guesswork
Some fevers come back on a schedule. Symtrail groups related days into a single flare, measures the gap between them and shows you the window when the next one is likely — so you can plan around it instead of being ambushed.
Appointments
Doctors get minutes, not hours. Symtrail's export gives them the cycle summary, every flare with its dates, peak temperature and length, a 90-day temperature chart, and the full entry list underneath.
Privacy
Symtrail is built so that the sensitive part of your diary never leaves your device.
Symptoms, temperatures, medications and notes are saved locally. They aren't uploaded to a server.
No email, no password, no profile to create. Install it and start logging.
We use anonymous usage counts to see which screens get used — never symptom names, temperatures or notes.
Questions

Yes. Symtrail is built around profiles, so you can keep a separate diary for each child, for a partner or parent you care for, and for yourself. Switching between people takes one tap.
Yes. Logging works with no signal at all — in a waiting room, on a plane, or at 3am in a hospital corridor.
Yes. Mark a profile as a PFAPA patient and Symtrail groups fevers into flares, works out the average gap between them, and shows the window when the next flare is likely. It's just as useful for any recurring or hard-to-describe symptom pattern.
Twenty, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. The app picks up your phone's language automatically, and dates follow it too.
Symtrail is free to download.
No. It's a diary that helps you record and share what you observe. It doesn't diagnose anything and it isn't a substitute for medical advice.
Symtrail is launching on iOS and Android shortly.
