My IBD Tracker

I built this app to manage my own ulcerative colitis. Log food, symptoms and daily context, then spot real patterns — with one-tap Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.

I live with ulcerative colitis, and I built My IBD Tracker because the app I needed didn't exist. It's designed for Crohn's, colitis, or any IBD — to help you log what you eat, track how you feel, and finally see the connections between the two.

LOG FOOD & DRINK Record meals, snacks and drinks in seconds. Save favourites and recent items for one-tap re-logging, and tag anything with custom trigger labels — dairy, spicy, processed, high fibre, alcohol and more — fully editable to match your own diet.

TRACK SYMPTOMS IN DETAIL Bowel movements logged against the Bristol Stool Scale, with urgency and blood indication. Cramps recorded by pain level and location. Fatigue and its impact on your day. Nothing generic — built specifically for IBD.

DAILY CHECK-IN A single daily entry captures the context that shapes your symptoms: day type (normal, holiday, sick), location (home, office, travel), stress level and energy level. Spot whether travel, work stress or a change in routine is really behind a flare.

SEE THE PATTERNS The Patterns view overlays energy and stress on your symptom trends, and breaks down bowel movements, cramps, energy and stress by day type, location and individual trigger — including same-day and next-day comparisons, so you can see delayed reactions, not just immediate ones.

QUICK-LOG WIDGETS Add a meal, snack, drink, bowel movement, cramp or daily check-in straight from your Home Screen or Lock Screen — no need to even open the app.

YOUR HISTORY, ORGANISED Browse any day to see every entry on one timeline alongside your daily check-in summary, so you always have the full picture before an appointment.

I built this for myself first, with full control to customise trigger lists, defaults and categories to match real life — and I hope it helps you too.
