How it works

Three simple steps to a clearer picture of your pain.

1

Define your pain

Give it a name, a colour and a body location, then pick the scale that fits: 0–10, yes/no or mild/moderate/severe - set up the way you need it.

2

Log it in seconds

Tap the intensity and, if you want, add the circumstances, a note or a dose. Reminders make sure you forget neither an entry nor a medication.

3

Spot patterns & share them

Find your triggers, see whether a medication or therapy is working and take a clear PDF report along to your appointment.

What PainTrack looks like

A look inside the app - from quick logging to medications and triggers to the doctor's report.

Finally show how it really was: analysis with history chart and 5-star rating
Logged in 10 seconds: log an open pain on Today with a single tap, next to your last seven days and your next goal
A PDF for your doctor: create a report with your pain types, contents and period
Is your medication working? Reminder, one-tap dose logging and the effect hour by hour
Patterns you can't see yourself: weekly trend, triggers and weekdays at a glance

Everything you need

PainTrack gives you the tools to record your pain systematically and get real insight out of it.

Your pain, your scale

Create as many pain definitions as you like with a name, description and colour, and pick the input that suits each one: 0–10, yes/no or mild/moderate/severe.

Your medications at a glance

Regular and as-needed medications with dose, form and schedule. The app reminds you, and you log each dose with a single tap, right from the reminder if you like. One medication is free, unlimited with Pro.

Is your medication working?

Effect over time shows your average intensity hour by hour after a dose. After an as-needed dose, the app can check in on how you're doing. Effect over time is part of Pro.

Body map

Mark where it hurts: around 50 locations on the front and back. The body map shows which spots are affected most often or most severely. 7 and 30 days for free, longer ranges with Pro.

Tap circumstances, don't type them

When logging, pick what was different that day - slept badly, long screen time, did some exercise. 26 suggestions are ready, and your own tags take two seconds to add. Plus type of pain and a note.

Finally see what helps

Mark when something changed - a new medication, starting therapy, surgery. PainTrack compares up to four weeks before with up to four weeks after. The analysis is part of Pro.

Your triggers

Under which circumstances and on which weekdays is your pain worse? In plain sentences, from your own entries - and only once there is really enough data. Part of Pro.

Trend charts & weekly trends

Follow one or several pain types in a line chart across 7, 30 or 90 days, or the whole period, with your doses right underneath. Trend cards compare this week against the weeks before.

Monthly reports

Every month at a glance: days logged, average, pain-free days, your longest streak and the change from the month before. Expand them and pass them on. Part of Pro.

Widget for home & lock screen

On iPhone: your streak, today's status and the last 30 days - without opening the app. In five sizes, including the lock screen.

Streak & milestones

Current and longest streak, days logged and the next milestone at a glance. Your tenth entry, a full week in a row or your first pain-free week no longer slip by - they get celebrated.

Reminders that think along

Several times of day on whichever weekdays you choose. The smart reminder stays quiet on days you've already logged, and an evening warning saves your streak.

Your dashboard, light or dark

Drag the cards into the order that suits you and hide what you don't need. Dark mode follows your device - easier on the eyes when you log in bed at night.

Archive & resume

Hide pain types that are no longer current without deleting them. Bring them back whenever you want and pick up tracking right where you left off.

PDF doctor's report

Choose the pain, the date range and up to eleven sections - from charts to medications and the body map to events with a before/after comparison. Shared straight from the app. Part of Pro.

Data transfer & CSV export

Move all of your data to another device as a .strack file, or export entries, daily values, events and doses as CSV - optionally in the format German Excel opens without asking. Part of Pro.

Backup in your own iCloud

On iPhone, PainTrack can back up your entries automatically to your own iCloud - switch phones and they're back. Backing up is part of Pro, restoring always works.

Stored locally, protected by biometrics

All health data stays encrypted on your device - no account, no ads. If you like, unlock the app with Face ID, Touch ID or your fingerprint.

What our users say

Genuine 5-star reviews from the App Store - from people who use PainTrack every day.

Headaches

“I use the app to keep track of my headaches; it runs smoothly and has no ads - I'm happy with it!”

- Tina.Peters (translated from German)

Weeks in now

“The charts are really helpful and give you a clear overview, so I'm coping with my pain much better now. Exactly what you need.”

- Matthias Malmedie (translated from German)

Logs every day

“I record my pain daily and can follow it easily. The developer keeps adding new features, brilliant!”

- Rene.Asse (translated from German)

A really good app

“I don't often write reviews because I feel they often don't get read, BUT here I really have to say this app is worth reviewing. It does exactly what it's supposed to, you can enter everything, and my doctor was thrilled with the overview too - and now comes the biggest praise for the developer! I had NEVER experienced feedback actually being taken up. Here it isn't just taken up: I got a reply within a short time, and shortly after that my suggestion was fully implemented. Just the fact that someone took the time to answer me showed me it's worth giving feedback here. My doctor wrote down the name of the app and is now trying it out to recommend it as well. THANK YOU for this great app”

- ChinatsuAsanuma (translated from German)

Does what it should

“The app helps you keep your own overview of (self-definable) pain, lets you spot patterns, and when talking to your doctor you have reliable data at hand.”

- chaosengine16 (translated from German)

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about PainTrack.

PainTrack is your digital pain diary for iPhone, iPad and Android. You create your own pain definitions, log entries with intensity, body location, circumstances and a note, keep a log of your medications, follow the trend in charts, find your triggers and turn all of it into PDF reports for your next appointment.

Yes. PainTrack is free on Google Play, with the same features as on iPhone. Only the widget and iCloud backup are exclusive to iPhone; on Android you move your data with a .strack file. There you buy Pro through your Google account.

With Pro you can create unlimited pain definitions and medications, see your entire dose log and the effect over time after a dose, analyse charts and the body map across 90 days and the whole period as well and see the third weekly trend card. On top come the trigger analysis, the before/after comparison for your events, monthly reports, PDF doctor's reports, CSV export, data transfer via a .strack file and, on iPhone, automatic iCloud backup. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-off purchase.

Yes. Under “Medications” you add regular and as-needed medications with dose, form and schedule. The app reminds you to take them, and you log each dose with a single tap, even straight from the reminder. After an as-needed dose it can check in on how you're doing. One active medication is free; unlimited medications and the effect over time are part of Pro.

Three: the 0–10 scale, yes/no and mild/moderate/severe. You pick one per pain definition - and all three are available in the free version too.

Tap the print icon on the “Entries” card or open “Doctor's report as PDF” in the settings. There you choose the pain definition (one or all), the period from one week up to a year or everything, and the sections: summary, charts, weekly trend, medications, events, notable patterns, body map, monthly reports, milestones, activity and entries. You then share the finished PDF straight from your device's share menu. The report is part of PainTrack Pro.

Not with us. Every entry stays encrypted on your device. PainTrack has no account, and we have no access whatsoever to your health data. Only if you switch on iCloud backup on iPhone is an encrypted copy stored in your own iCloud. The app sends usage statistics without any health data, which you can switch off in the settings under “Privacy”.

In two ways. Effect over time shows how your intensity develops in the hours after a dose. And on the day something changed, you add an event - such as “changed medication”, “started therapy” or “surgery”. PainTrack then compares up to four weeks before with up to four weeks after. Adding events is free; effect over time and the analysis are part of Pro.

When logging, tap the circumstances that were different that day - from 26 suggestions or your own tags. Once there are enough entries, the trigger analysis tells you in plain sentences under which circumstances and on which weekdays your pain is worse. It shows associations, not causes. The analysis is part of Pro.

On iPhone, yes, and it's free: for the home screen and the lock screen, in five sizes. It shows your streak, today's status and the last 30 days without you having to open the app. There is no widget on Android.

Yes. You can lock PainTrack with Face ID, Touch ID or, on Android, your fingerprint or face unlock - on launch and every time you bring the app back from the background. Your device passcode acts as the fallback.

Under “More” → Reminders you set several times of day and the weekdays you want. If you like, the reminder is skipped on days you have already logged, and an evening warning lets you know when your streak is about to break. Medication reminders are set directly on each medication.

Under “More” → Manage subscription you can see your subscription, change or cancel it and restore earlier purchases. Billing runs through the App Store or Google Play.
