Looking for a simpler alternative to Bearable?
First, credit where due: Bearable is a genuinely good app. It tracks symptoms, mood, meds, sleep, weather, and dozens of factors, and hundreds of thousands of people use it. If detailed tracking works for you, use Bearable — this page isn't going to pretend otherwise.
But there's a common story with feature-rich health apps: you set everything up during a good week, log faithfully for a while, and then a flare hits — and the app that needs five minutes a day is the first thing to go. The data ends up with holes exactly where it mattered most.
Where Ebb is different
Ebb makes the opposite trade. It tracks less, on purpose, so logging survives your worst days:
- 30 seconds a day. Tap your symptoms, rate 1–5, optional note, done. No factors to configure, no categories to maintain.
- Nothing to set up. Pick your symptoms once; start logging the same minute.
- No streaks, no guilt. Missed days are expected, not punished.
- Doctor-ready output. Trends charts plus PDF/CSV export to hand across the desk at appointments.
- Private by default. Your data stays on your device.
Which one fits you?
- Choose Bearable if you want deep correlations across many factors and have the energy to feed it consistently.
- Choose Ebb if the tracking apps you've tried keep getting abandoned mid-flare — because a sparse-but-unbroken log beats a detailed one full of gaps.
Free tier: track up to 5 symptoms with full logging, history, and 7-day trends.
Premium: unlimited symptoms, full trend charts, and PDF/CSV export for appointments.
Common questions
Is Ebb free compared to Bearable?
Ebb's free tier covers up to 5 symptoms with full logging, history, 7-day trends, reminders, and CSV export. Premium is $4.99/month or $29.99/year for unlimited symptoms, full trends, and PDF reports.
Does Ebb have as many features as Bearable?
No, deliberately. Bearable tracks a lot — factors, meds, sleep, mood, correlations. Ebb tracks the symptoms you name and nothing else, because the tracker you'll still use in six months is the one that costs the least energy. If you want deep correlation analysis, Bearable is the better fit.
Can I import my Bearable data into Ebb?
No. There's no import. Ebb starts fresh from the day you install it.
Is Ebb on Android?
Not yet — Ebb is iPhone only right now.
