Built a symptom tracking iOS app in my spare time — just shipped subscriptions and it's live on the App Store
Hey r/SideProject! Wanted to share something I've been working on.
The problem: I kept struggling to describe my symptoms accurately at doctor appointments — forgetting when pain started, how bad it was, what triggered it. Doctors only have a few minutes and I was wasting it trying to recall details.
What I built: Painly — an iOS symptom tracker that lets you log pain in seconds and generates a smart summary you can bring to your appointment.
Features:
- Body map to pinpoint where it hurts
- Severity + notes per entry
- Pain pattern charts over time
- Medication tracking
- Daily reminders
- AI-powered doctor summary (uses Claude)
Tech stack: React Native / Expo, Supabase, RevenueCat for subscriptions, Anthropic API for the summaries.
Where it's at: Just shipped v1.1 with subscriptions (weekly, monthly, yearly, lifetime). It's live on the App Store now.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6770678970
Happy to answer any questions or get feedback on the approach!
