I just got an Apple Watch and there are absolutely no apps that allow quick entries or any kind of symptom tracking. I’ve considered using a habit tracker to track symptoms but they don’t allow to measure intensity and don’t give us interesting insights.
I would love for bearable to be able to offer this feature.
Is it something you are currently working on?

This would be such a game changer for me! I was great about diligent tracking for mood vs sleep vs period cycle for about 2 months and then I completely fell off. I need to start tracking again and think this would help my ADHD brain so much! I have a tendency of getting distracted between noticing that I need to notate something and actually get the app open and the info recorded. A push notification on the apple watch with the ability to input quick items throughout the day would be wonderful.

I would loooove this update. My main hurdle to bearable (in part because of ADHD) is forgetting to input for multiple days, let alone being able to input as timed trackers occur (mood, energy, meds, pain type, etc). The other is that severe neck, back, and shoulder pain make it impossible to spend the time needed to enter all the data on my phone in 1-2 sittings. If I can even remember that much of my day, the pain deters me from tracking the symptoms in the first place.
This is such a wonderful idea for people with executive dysfunction, people who can’t be on their phones for too long because of pain/eye problems, people that don’t bring their phones everywhere, and people with complicated, large list of symptoms to track. I would pay extra for this feature, if the only way it could be included was an add-on (although I appreciate the pay scale for bearable as it is :/)?

I feel the same!! The whole adhd “out of sight, out of mind” thing adds an obstacle to the phone app. If I miss a day or two if tracking, it takes me months to be able to get back on track. Thinking “oh I’ll have to write this down later” and then not remembering (either what to write or to record at all) would be a thing of the past and people with executive dysfunction xan actually record the symptoms since a hurdle is removed.

I really hope this suggestion picks up steam and gets added to the list of new developments. This is the only feature request I come back and check! I don’t have an Apple Watch yet, but I am saving for one in case this update ever happens. I struggle inputting all of my daily updates because of the complexity of my health issues, so I often don’t end up using bearable at all. I have a lot of health problems and would really benefit from tracking them, but it takes too long to input everything at once (whether that’s one, two, or three times a day). If I could add symptoms, moods, energy, and notes as they occur without need to hold my phone, look at a screen, or remember the details and times, I would have a more comprehensive ability to understand and care for my body.

This is kind of how it is for me, including the ADHD part. Compulsive ADHD need to follow the path of least resistance + difficulty creating and maintaining routines/habits with ADHD + bearable’s current input system (especially if you have multiple health problems to track) =/= regular, easy use of bearable.

I use bearable for tracking to find factors that impact ADHD challenges and symptoms. The single greatest barrier to that is it seems perfectly designed to keep me from tracking. I remember to track in moments where I don’t have my phone or can’t access it readily. Being able to log quickly (even the basics) would significantly improve my experience and control over my symptoms

YES!!!! Tbh most the time I don’t put in many entries throughout the day. I do an overview at the end.
But I have bowel problems. And I log every time I go. I don’t like to take my phone into the toilet. But I’m wearing my Apple Watch. To be able to add that at the exact time would be super helpful.
To have a widget on the watch screen that can take you directly to a certain part of it.
Sorta like you can sort cut to medication on the health app.

For a first version, I’d love to use the Watch for simplest things like Mood and Energy Level.
Maybe like 3 factors and/or symptoms we’d pick in the Watch app? Eg, “time outside” - bc obvs I’d have my watch on if I left the house.
This is also where time stamps vs time blocks would be helpful. It would be less complicated via Watch to tap various factors and symptoms if we didn’t have to pick a time block, it records the times we tap it.
I’m all for a quick and dirty first version of the easiest things to code by the team! 🙌
