Symptio

Getting Started

What is Symptio?

Symptio is a health symptom tracker for iOS, built for people managing chronic, episodic, or unexplained conditions. You record a symptom in about 15 seconds, watch patterns emerge over weeks and months, and export a clean report to bring to your next appointment. Everything stays on your device and in your own iCloud.

What do I need to use Symptio?

• An iPhone running iOS 17 or later
• Optional: an Apple Watch running watchOS 10 or later for the companion app
• The Symptio app, free on the App Store

How do I record my first symptom?

1. Open Symptio — there is no signup and no login.
2. Tap the big Record Symptom button on the Home screen.
3. Pick a symptom (headache, fatigue, anxiety, joint pain…) or add your own.
4. Set the severity on a 1–10 slider.
5. Optionally add tags, a note, a photo, or a medication — then save. Done.

Recording Symptoms

What can I attach to a record?

• Severity — a 1–10 slider with a face indicator, so "how bad" is captured consistently.
• Tags — quick trigger tags like poor sleep, cold, weather, stress. Tags power the correlation views later.
• Note — free text up to 200 characters ("Couldn't sleep", "after climbing stairs").
• Photo — useful for skin conditions, swelling, or anything visual. Photos are compressed and stored privately.
• Medication / Action — what you took or did about it.

Everything except the symptom itself and the severity is optional. A minimal record takes seconds; a detailed one still under a minute.

Do I have to log every day?

No. Symptio has no streaks to break and no guilt mechanics. Log when something happens — the trends view is honest about gaps. That said, the more consistently you record during a flare, the more useful the picture becomes.

Trends & Smart Insights

How do I read the Trends tab?

Pick a symptom and a range — 7 days, 30 days, or All. You'll see the number of records, average severity, peak severity, and a severity-over-time chart, plus the related records beneath it.

What is the comparison chart? (Pro)

The comparison chart overlays several symptoms on one timeline, so you can see, for example, whether headaches follow insomnia or whether two symptoms flare together.

What are Smart Insights? (Pro)

Smart Insights scans your records for statistical patterns: frequency spikes, rising or falling severity, tag correlations, time-of-day patterns, symptoms that co-occur, and correlations with health metrics if HealthKit is connected.

Health Snapshot

The Health Snapshot on the Home screen keeps everyday health data next to your symptoms, so context is never lost:

• Weight — quick manual entries with a trend line.
• Menstrual Cycle — flow levels and cycle-day tracking on a calendar.
• Bathroom — stool records on the Bristol scale (types 1–7) and urine on an 8-level hydration color scale.

Symptom records shown in the snapshot are linked to this data — "Bloating · Type 4 today" or "Fatigue · Cycle Day 12" — which is exactly the kind of connection a doctor will ask about.

History & Export

How does History work?

The History tab lists every record grouped by day, filterable by symptom category and tags. Free accounts see the last 30 days; Symptio Pro unlocks your full history.

How do I export a report for my doctor?

1. Open History → tap Export PDF.
2. Choose the scope — one profile or the whole family.
3. Share the file via the iOS share sheet: email, AirDrop, print, Files.

PDF export is free. CSV export (for spreadsheets or your own analysis) is part of Pro.

Family Care (Pro)

How do family profiles work?

Family Care lets you track symptoms for up to 6 profiles — yourself plus children, elderly parents, a spouse, or anyone you care for. Each profile has its own nickname, emoji, date of birth, and relationship, and keeps a fully separate log, trends view, and export reports.

How do I switch profiles?

Tap the profile chip in the top-right corner of the Home screen → Switch Profile. The active profile is always visible, so records land in the right log.

All family data is stored on your device and in your iCloud, managed by you. Family members don't need their own accounts or devices.

Widgets, Watch & Reminders

How do I add the widget?

1. Long-press your Home Screen → tap +.
2. Search for Symptio.
3. Choose Small or Medium.

What does the Apple Watch app do?

Quick recording from your wrist: pick a symptom, set severity, confirm. It's the fastest way to capture a flare in the moment — no phone needed. Requires watchOS 10 or later.

How do reminders work?

Settings → Reminders. Set a daily reminder or pick specific weekdays. Reminders are local notifications, processed entirely on your device. Make sure notifications are allowed in iOS Settings → Notifications → Symptio.

HealthKit & iCloud

What does the HealthKit connection do? (Pro)

With your permission, Symptio reads selected Apple Health metrics — heart rate, heart-rate variability, sleep, steps, and active energy — and shows them alongside your symptoms so patterns like "headaches after short sleep" become visible.

• Read-only: Symptio never writes anything to HealthKit.
• On-device: HealthKit data is processed on your iPhone and never transmitted.
• Revocable: withdraw access anytime in iOS Settings → Health → Data Access.

How does iCloud sync work?

Your records sync through your personal iCloud (CloudKit private database) so they survive a lost phone and appear on your other devices. You can check the sync status or turn it off in Settings. Smart Kiitös has zero access to your iCloud data.

Privacy & Data

Where does my data live?

On your iPhone (in SwiftData) and, if sync is on, in your own iCloud. Smart Kiitös runs no server that stores health data, uses no analytics, and includes no third-party SDKs. See the full Privacy Policy.

How do I delete my data?

• Local data: delete the Symptio app from your iPhone.
• iCloud data: Settings → [Your Apple ID] → iCloud → Manage Storage → Symptio → delete.
