At the doctor's, you're meant to say when it was worse — and you can't remember anymore.
Record every day how strong the pain was, where it was and what came with it — intensity on a scale from 0 to 10, the spot on a 4-view body map. That turns vague memories into a complete history you can present at your doctor's appointment.
Android only · Install once, log it in 30 seconds every day
Record the intensity every day on a scale from 0 to 10 — with date and time. Unlimited entries.
Tap the painful spot directly on the body map — front, back, both sides. A magnifier helps with small areas.
See at a glance how the days compare to one another. One photo per entry and a daily reminder close every gap.
A chronological PDF with intensity values and the body map. For a doctor's visit, a clinic or a benefits claim.
Chronic pain is invisible. It comes in flare-ups, shifts its location, its strength and its character — and that's exactly what makes it so hard to convey when you talk to your doctor. Anyone who relies on memory underestimates the good spells and forgets the bad ones. A log captures the history while it's still fresh.
With the pain diary you note every day how strong the pain was — on a scale from 0 to 10 —, where it was, what type it was and what came with it. You mark the body location directly on a body map of four views, and a magnifier helps with small areas. One photo per entry and a daily reminder make sure no gap appears. In the weekly overview you see at a glance how the days compare to one another.
At the appointment you hand over the finished PDF dossier — chronological, with intensity values and the body map. Instead of a rough guess, the treating professional has real data. And all your entries stay on your device throughout: no account, no server, no cloud. Health data is sensitive and is nobody's business but yours.
At the appointment your doctor asks when the last severe flare-up was and how long it lasted. You can't recall exactly — the weeks blur together. Without notes, all that's left is a shrug, and the treatment rests on a rough guess.
In the middle of the night the pain becomes unbearable. By the next morning it's more bearable, so you carry on. By your next appointment four weeks later, that night is long forgotten — yet it was exactly this course that would have mattered for the treatment decision.
For a disability or rehabilitation claim you're asked to show how severely and how often the pain limits your daily life. Without an ongoing log with date and intensity, your account stands alone against what's on file.
All three situations share the same pattern: without a record, you lose the history. With daily intensity, the body map and circumstances, vague memories become a log that holds up to scrutiny.
Does a pain diary help at the doctor's appointment?
Chronic pain fluctuates — by the time of your appointment, you often can't recall exactly when it was worse or how long a flare-up lasted. A complete log with intensity, body location and circumstances gives your doctor a factual basis instead of a rough guess. Decisions about diagnosis and treatment always rest with the treating professional — the log simply provides them with the data.
How does the body map work?
The body map shows the body from four views — front, back and both sides. You tap the painful spot directly; a magnifier helps with small areas. That way you can pinpoint exactly where it hurts instead of struggling to put it into words.
Does the app work without an internet connection?
Yes, the pain diary works 100% offline. All entries and photos stay solely on your device. No server, no cloud, no data sharing. The app needs neither an account nor registration — and health data is especially sensitive.
What does the pain diary cost?
Unlimited entries, the 0—10 pain scale, the 4-view body map with magnifier, the weekly overview, the daily reminder and one photo per entry are all free. No subscription. Use forever.
Which languages is the app available in?
The pain diary is fully translated and usable in 24 languages — all official EU languages. So you can present your pain history clearly even when changing doctors or receiving treatment abroad.
