Bearable alternative

Bearable is a dedicated health tracker for people managing chronic conditions, with symptoms, mood, medication, sleep and lifestyle factors in one daily check-in and correlations computed for you. Log App is a plain diary where you decide the variables, log each episode when it happens, and get per-symptom stats and a plain-language summary. This page is for the day you feel Bearable asks for more than you want to give it.

Side by side

Feature by feature

Feature	Bearable	Log App
What you track	Symptoms, mood, energy, sleep, medication, factors and measurements in a structured daily check-in.	A Symptom text variable with per-symptom stats and a Severity score out of ten; add Duration, Trigger, Medication or anything else as variables.
Insights	Built-in correlations between factors and symptoms, with reports over time (as of September 2026).	Average, max and count per symptom, a calendar heatmap, and an AI summary that describes recent patterns from your own entries.
Doctor reports	Health reports for appointments are listed as a feature (as of September 2026).	The per-symptom stats and timeline on screen, and a CSV of your entries to take to the appointment. No PDF report yet.
Health data	Apple Health import is listed on the public feature page (as of September 2026).	No Apple Health sync. Values are what you type.
Logging model	Daily check-in with sliders and pickers.	One entry per episode, whenever it happens, with a timer if you want the duration measured.
Reminders	Scheduled reminders.	A reminder learned from when you usually log, plus a nudge when a log goes quiet.
Attachments	Notes with entries.	Notes, photos, sketches and voice notes on any entry; a photo of a rash or a scribbled body map stays with the episode.
Other logs	Health-focused only.	Symptoms next to sleep, mood, medication, food or workouts as separate logs.
Platforms	iOS and Android.	iOS beta via TestFlight, as of September 2026.
Price	Free with a premium tier (as of September 2026).	Free for logging; premium lifts the monthly AI-analysis and attachment limits.

Who each one suits

Better for

Bearable is better if

You manage a chronic condition and want medication, sleep and factors in one structured check-in.
You want correlation charts and a report to hand to a clinician without building anything yourself.
You want Apple Health data pulled in automatically.

Log App is better if

You want a lightweight record of episodes, when, how bad, how long, what came before, and nothing else asked of you.
Your variables are your own, such as a specific trigger list or a migraine aura score.
You want a photo or a voice note on an episode, or the location pinned.
You already log other things in Log App and want symptoms next to them.

Switching

Moving from Bearable to Log App

Log App imports a CSV into any log: it reads the file on your device, works out the delimiter, the encoding and the date format, suggests what each column becomes, and shows you the entries before it writes any of them. So how much comes across depends on the export you can get out of Bearable — the steps below say what to do either way.

Install Log App and pick "Symptom Diary" during setup. It comes with Symptom (tracked individually) and Severity out of ten; add Duration in minutes or a Trigger text variable in log settings.
Decide which of Bearable's factors you really use and make each one a variable or a tag. Fewer fields mean you keep logging.
Log episodes as they happen rather than in a daily check-in; the timer measures duration for you.
If your Bearable plan offers an export, save the CSV and import it into the new log from the log's settings; Log App reads the file on your device, suggests what each column becomes and shows the entries before adding them. If it doesn't, keep Bearable's history where it is and start the diary from today.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Log App a medical device?

No. It is a record you keep for yourself and can show to your doctor. It does not diagnose, and neither this page nor the app replaces medical advice.

Does Log App find correlations like Bearable?

Not as charts. The per-symptom stats show frequency and severity, and the AI summary reads your entries and notes and describes what changed. For factor-by-factor correlation charts, Bearable is the stronger tool.

Can I import my Bearable data?

If you can get a CSV out of Bearable, yes — pick the file in the log's settings, check the preview and import it. There is no direct connection between the two apps, so what comes across is whatever their export gives you.

Can I track medication in Log App?

Yes, as a variable on the symptom log or as its own log; there is a ready-made medication log in the app's catalogue.

The short version

Bearable is the more complete health tracker, and if you live with a condition that benefits from correlation reports, that completeness is worth the daily check-in. Log App is for the shorter record: an episode, a score, a note, and stats you can read out at the appointment. Both are records, not medical devices.
