A symptom log that works on brain fog days
MS gives you a lot to keep track of and takes away the energy to track it. Fatigue, numbness, vision, balance, cognition — the symptoms move around, and the apps that want a detailed questionnaire every day are exactly the apps a cog fog day defeats.
Ebb keeps it to one screen. You name what you want to track — fatigue, tingling, brain fog, whatever your MS actually does — rate each 1 to 5 with big taps, add a short note if you want, done in 30 seconds. No streaks, and missed days can be filled in later.
Download Ebb free on iPhoneWhy a daily record matters with MS
- Neurology visits are far apart. Six months compresses into one "how have you been?" — and memory keeps the last two weeks, not the whole stretch. A trend chart answers honestly, and Ebb exports to PDF so your neurologist sees the real shape of it.
- New symptoms have timestamps. "When did the numbness start, and did it last more than a day or two?" matters in MS care. A diary you actually keep gives real answers instead of guesses.
- Patterns hide in ordinary days. Heat, sleep, stress, and activity logged alongside symptoms is how your own triggers become visible.
What makes tracking sustainable
The tracker you'll still be using in six months is the one that costs the least energy. Ebb keeps the cost low on purpose:
- One screen, minimal taps. Built for fatigue and fog, not against them.
- Your words, not a fixed template. Track what your MS actually does, not a generic checklist.
- Missed days don't break anything. No streaks, no guilt. Fill them in whenever.
- A gentle daily reminder at whatever time works for you.
- Private by default. Your health data stays on your device.
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.
One honest note
Ebb is a diary, not a treatment tool. It doesn't diagnose, doesn't tell a relapse from a bad week, and is not a substitute for your neurologist or MS team. It just makes sure that when someone asks how the last six months went, you have an answer that isn't a guess.

What can I track for MS?
Anything you name — commonly fatigue, numbness or tingling, brain fog, vision changes, balance, spasticity, heat sensitivity, and medication side effects. You rate each one 1 to 5 and can add one short note for the day.
Can Ebb help me prepare for neurology appointments?
Yes. MS checkups are often six months apart, and "how have you been?" is hard to answer across that much time. Premium exports a PDF of the period you choose — 30 or 90 days, 6 months, or your full history — with a trend chart per symptom plus your daily ratings and notes (see a real sample). Free exports your full history as CSV.
Is Ebb a medical app?
No. Ebb is a private self-rating diary, not a medical device — it doesn't diagnose, distinguish relapse from pseudo-flare, or replace your neurologist. It just helps you remember how the days actually went.
Is Ebb free?
Yes. The free tier lets you track up to 5 symptoms with full daily logging, complete history, 7-day trends, a daily reminder, and CSV export. Premium ($4.99/month or $29.99/year) adds unlimited symptoms, full trend ranges, and doctor-ready PDF reports.
