Life Notes - Symptom Tracking

Seb Ferrer

About this app

I'm developing this app on my own in my spare time outside of work, so that I can continue to offer it for free.

This app is free, ad-free, and without data collection. Forever.

/!\ IMPORTANT NOTICE: The app's automatic data backup feature no longer works due to current Android policies.

You must use the manual export tool located in the advanced settings (Settings > Advanced).
You can use this web app to help you create your backup files: https://life-notes.fr/tools/save/

You and you alone are responsible for your data, which is why it is not stored online.
Remember to create backup files regularly so that you don't lose them.

Life Notes is an app that allows you to record your chronic symptoms and lifestyle habits on a daily basis in order to monitor them, but also to potentially highlight some correlations.

It's possible to create your own symptom list in order to score them day after day, rating thef pain level intensity on a scale from 0 to 5.

It's also possible to record your meals, medications and add various notes, as well as your sleep schedules to highlight the causes of your symptoms. For example, it is easier to highlight the link between some of your meals and your possible stomach aches.

In addition to noting the daily evolution of the symptoms at different times of the day, it's also possible to enter an overall level of pain intensity over the course of a day in order to have a broader view of their evolution.

In short, Life-Notes offers what a simple notebook could do for you, but with a focus on tracking symptoms and providing statistics.

None of your data is sent online, 100% of your data is stored on your phone's memory.

Available languages: English, French

Ratings and reviews

After looking around at a bunch of different apps, this was exactly what I was looking for. You mentioned in the introduction that you are updating it when you can. Two things to consider are exercise and stress level. I add those into the notes. I presume people who smoke tobacco or use other substances might appreciate a way to enter those, too. Thank you for your time on this.

EDIT 7/03/25 I'm disappointed that, while the app says you can edit your lists of symptoms and meds, you can't actually do that. It's irritating. **** One thing that would help me is a 1-10 pain and fatigue scale. That's what I'm used to - every medical provider uses that. For instance, saying that my pain is at 4, doesn't let me up the score when it's increasing, as I generally don't feel it's at its highest.

Quick and easy to enter data. Quick and easy to review data. No overwhelming descriptors for entries. You could track triggers, but I dont need to, and too much data gets in the way at dr appointments. I only need to show how I am doing. I can show a picture of the calendar with the days I added migraine highlighted. I can show my dr a count of how many times I took extra medication for anxiety per month, so I can demonstrate I don't abuse it, but still have sufficient need for it. Love it.
