People with ongoing health issues struggle to find symptom trackers that fit
People managing chronic illness, HRT, or recurring mental-health symptoms want to record changes over time, notice patterns, or bring useful context to appointments. Existing apps may not fit their needs or may feel poorly designed, while keeping a paper diary or adapting a planner can be tedious. Some also want help pacing activity, but a tracker should not present itself as a medical authority.
For people managing chronic illness and recurring symptoms. Mentioned from Feb 2024 to May 2026 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

Honestly wondering why someone hasn't come out with a Zoe-type tracker to inform HRT. I'd pay for that shit, and I reckon a lot of other folk would too
I have tried so many over the years and I just can't find one that works. Contemplating going back to a bujo for this but would rather not
