    The current times are very locked into a real time of day, and not necessarily how I use my days. We all have phases of a day: startup, routine until second meal, routine until third meal, routine until sleep. If I work from 2PM - 10 PM, my startup is at noon. The term “morning” doesn’t really apply. So let us define the names of these.

    However, DON’T require them to be assigned specific times and durations. Even if I work the 2PM shift, come my weekend (which could be a Monday), I may have a day shift and different times for these periods.

    As a result, I strongly recommend period names and their order related to others. Reporting can recognize all “first meal” data even if its in different times of day.

    Give us the ability to provide a short hand name in addition to the full name. That way, the user can provide a 2-4 character identifier to appear in the small boxes of the Factors data entry screen.

    IMO, we should have these named periods available to anywhere we input a time of day. I expect to enter a separate comment.

    This would be excellent! I’m tracking my 5yo to see how foods, activities and social activities affect his behavior. None if this happens after 9pm or before 7am. Is greatly benefit from 2 or 3-hr increments throughout the day to really pinpoint correlations.

    Yeah, I go to bed around 2.00 and sleep until 12-14.00. It would be awesome if I could keep my notes and symptoms on 1 page of my day instead of always having to spread it over 2 pages

    I have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, so similar to Frankie’s example, this would be hugely helpful for me to get everything together in one “day” according to my circadian rythm

    06 March 2021
  • avatar

    YES! I also have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome and Narcolepsy, this would be so helpful.

    I would add on to this, allowing the limits of each day to be adjusted too, Medisafe Pill Reminder does this with its Pillbox Setup, so that the main menu remains on the previous day even at 2 or 3am rather than midnight, for example.

    Not sure that simply renaming time periods would be that helpful… overall more flexibility in marking activities by time would be helpful. Currently the app allows the possibility to mark Factors by either on/off, or 6-/6-12/12-18/18+. How about letting us pick an activity from a list (like with mood) and then define start and end times for each activity (like with time in bed)?

    27 March 2021

    Activity monitoring is central to ME/CFS management, so it would really help to time activities more precisely.

    27 March 2021
  • avatar

    Absolutely. My day time frame is such that I go to bed at 3am & wake at noon. The set 4 timeframes under the factors tab don’t leave any flexibility.

    Ideally I’d love to be able to create custom timeframes, not only for different time periods but also more of them.

    My day is shifted – I’m mostly sleeping late after midnight long into the day. I have the feeling this is affecting analysis in bearable since it’s starting a new day at midnight and in fact most symptoms and medications loose impact during my sleep time. It would be great if I could add some offset to the day.

    26 April 2021
  • avatar

    The timeframes are too restrictive. I would love to see customization here.

    02 July 2021
  • avatar

    I was going to make this suggestion too! Having the first time period be <6am makes me wonder what the developers sleep schedules are like… We’re not all Jocko Willink.

    07 September 2021
  • avatar

    I agree; I’m never awake before 8am, so I don’t have any symptoms to log or moods to track in the first section, but if I put “none” it messes up the data. It’s not that I’m not experiencing symptom A, B, or C; in just not aware of it because I’m sleeping.

    15 September 2021
  • avatar

    Completely agree!!! I’ve been using the times as pre work - start to mid of work - end of work and getting home - evening which is very different than those time listed 😂 who the heck gets stuff done before 6!? That’s when I wake up and even I think that’s early! I would love to be able to change this!

    Ability to customize/consolidate time settings

    Right now, I can’t find a way to consolidate the time segmentation in “symptoms” into one unified 24 hour block. It sounds like other users wish they could break the time segmentation down into smaller increments. It would be great if this was something we could customize. (I imagine ideally folks would want to be able to toggle unique time segmentation per symptom, instead of having to go with one overall method of time segmentation.)

    Splitting up the day into the specific -6 6-12, 12-18, 18- blocks is not especially helpful for me. I’m sure I’m not the only person with a chronic illness who works on a slightly… adjusted schedule from the rest of the world. For me especially the ability to split out symptom severity differently between the hours of 12 and 18, as I feel wildly different at 12pm vs 6pm and I am literally never awake at 6am. Just the ability to set my own time blocks would be really helpful I think.

    Jumping on the Narcolepsy/delayed sleep phase syndrome wagon, as well as mentioning that I work night shifts. I agree that it is frustrating that my “days” are split up because of the specific time blocks. However I do love having the blocks for easy tracking. In other apps I have used that require individual symptom and time input I don’t typically stick with it. I love the easy interface of Bearable, but I wish I could alter the blocks to cover my personal 24 hr periods with typically begin around 12-14 not 06.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE. I would love to be able to have different time periods; like with the moods, it would be good to have a symptom check-in instead of disctinct time periods. Or like with my ADHD, my symptoms vary during the pre-determined periods that are built in.

    24 November 2021
  • avatar

    Add me in as someone who needs more customization in the time periods available. I need to track symptoms at a much more granular level than 6-hour increments.

    03 December 2021
  • avatar

    Yes! To me, it would be ideal if we could simply change the time ranges, both in terms of start/end, and in terms of how many time ‘chunks’ we’d like to differentiate.

    Hey Everyone!

    We really appreciate all of you taking the time to vote up, comment, and suggest new features for Bearable. We haven’t forgotten about you. Due to a number of factors we haven’t been able to add new features as fast as we would’ve liked over the last year.

    We are growing our dev team this year and hope to start getting through your suggestions as soon as we can.

    Thanks again for taking the time to make Bearable better!

    It would be great to have time intervals available of one hour and fill those in similarly to what is currently feasible. As a patient and also as a healthcare provider, this would be key in helping identify patterns and diagnoses

    Specific timestamps for symptoms I’m trying to figure out which symptoms I’m feeling after certain activities, foods, sleep, etc. but can’t figure out if there’s a way to choose a specific time for each symptom. like, I had a headache at 7:30am but it’s just showing that I experienced that symptom during the day at some point which isn’t helpful for me -Kelly McCann

    Yes, I have just been looking for any settings to change the timings. I don’t really need the pre-6am graph as I’m usually asleep!

    16 May 2022
  • avatar

    This. 100%. Having time stamps fire symptoms would also allow for more accurate correlations. For instance, right now, Bearable it’s telling me that taking a hot bath makes my symptoms worse, to which is inaccurate, because I take hot baths to ALLEVIATE my symptoms. Etc

    Please… I really hope you get rid of the am/mid/pm system someday. I have tics, so I technically have them all day, but I would really like to know at exactly what time of day I had it, how many times I had my tics during the day, what other activities I could be doing during that time (factors help with that, but sometimes I only do an activity for a little while, not for 6 hours…), and how bad the tic was. Right now I just use the mild-severe to track how many tics I have during each time period which isn’t particularly useful. I also have migraines, and sometimes I can have one migraine in the mid time, and another one at the pm time - and sometimes I can have a migraine that lasts the entire day! And there is no way to differentiate between the two (or how my medications can affect pain levels). It would be just so helpful to have specific timestamps not only for symptoms but for factors. Please!!!

    I would also love this! I was coming here go suggest it. My sleep schedule is all out of whack so it would be nice to be able to set my own times Sometimes my symptoms come in short eaves that don’t take up a whole time block, I’d like it be able to say my pain was unbearable for the 1-hour after I had physical therapy rather than it was unbearable during the 3 hour window, ya know?

    24 October 2022
  • avatar

    Please try to make this happen! The am/pm doesn’t really make sense for me, and it makes it harder to get a granular view of how things affect your affect things. For example if I eat lunch at different times I want to know how that affects other things, but currently I can’t time track my meal

    08 December 2022

    Would really like to see this come to fruition! Not everyone has the same schedule.

    18 January 2023

    Considering the demonstrations that have been shown, I don’t understand why this hasn’t been prioritized to finally be implemented.

    Top needed feature. I usually wake up after 1 pm and I think my correlations with medications are wrong due to it. (they have a timestamp while symptoms and meals don’t) I will buy premium when you add this feature

    04 March 2023
  • avatar

    This has been a big issue for me. Mood and energy levels can already be logged at arbitrary times — I’d love to see the same approach applied to symptoms.

    12 March 2023
  • avatar

    Yes! My daytimes are weird as well, and it would be great if we could customize them or something.

    13 April 2023
  • avatar

    I’ve already bought premium but adding this would go a long way to ensuring re-subscription time and again!!

    14 July 2023

    Yes,it would be amazing if we could costumise the time slot as our day is not divided the same way for everyone. Maybe they could be the option to select from what time to what time this factor was there so it’s more specific.(if we do sport all morning, it’s not the same than only 20 minutes). I also rarely use the space for before 6am and I think the morning is large so if we do something the all morning or just when we wake up, it’s not the same .By the way, I like that we have the option for the symptoms to clic on the left and acrivate it for the all day. It would be nice if the same would be available for the factors and other category . So, if for exemple, if it was cloudy all the day, we can clic only once and not four time to select all the time period.

    This is the only major issue I have with the app. My symptoms can vary wildly from one moment to the next and having to summize overall 4 times a day isn’t helpful. I LOVE how the mood tracker is set up. If there was an option to set up symptoms like that it would be PERFECT.

    21 September 2023

    Yes, this! Gives new meaning to the phrase “correlation is not causation.”

    Using Bearable for health tracking is a positive experience, but the absence of timestamps for all the things that can be measured is a notable limitation. Especially since Bearable seems to be fast becoming a quality qs tool for tracking many aspects of our lives. Even if the features aren’t on the immediate horizon, having timestamps for all data that we can already export now would be welcome, in addition to offering backward compatibility for any future capabilities. Although I really believe in the dev team and don’t want to move, the lack of this one feature is unfortunately making me contemplate it. It has the potential to unlock Bearable’s full power, making it a one-stop shop for countless individuals on their journey to making positive lifestyle changes.

    The lack of timestamps on any entries made is the only thing stopping me from buying this app.

    I want to log the exact time I had a symptom instead of the rough AM PM ballpark.

    Everything else I can work around.

    Returning to add to this as I’ve again been frustrated by not being able to incorporate specific timestamps into every entry.

    As a symptom tracker, I want to track what time I get what symptom to see if there is a trend. I use this to monitor ADHD medication and trying to figure out the logistics of if any other factors affect side effects is difficult without timestamps for any entry.

    The ability to submit a symptom multiple times a day with automatic timestamps would be a game changer.
