rox is a free ios app for tracking chronic illness. add your own symptoms, connect your apple watch, oura, garmin or amazfit, and let it find what your worst days have in common. it turns months of logs into a summary a doctor can read in a minute.
the conditions
fibromyalgia
widespread pain, fatigue and fibro fog. what a flare is, how long they last and what sets them off.
pots
why standing costs you so much, and what heart rate on a wearable actually tells you about it.
long covid
post-exertional malaise, pacing, and tracking the crash that arrives a day late.
endometriosis
pain that moves with your cycle, and building the record that shortens the road to diagnosis.
migraine
frequency, duration and medication use. the three things headache clinics actually decide on.
lupus
fatigue, joint pain and flares that come and go, tracked against the days in between.
pcos
symptoms across a cycle that often is not regular, and what is worth logging anyway.
perimenopause
fatigue, sleep and mood moving with hormones, and why cycle day is the column that matters.
chronic pain
pain that has outlasted its cause, and how to describe it without relying on memory.
any chronic illness
no diagnosis yet, or one that does not fit a box. the tracking works the same way.
me/cfs
pacing, energy envelopes and the crash that lands a day after you overdid it.
dysautonomia
heart rate and hrv when your autonomic system is not regulating, and what is worth logging beside it.
ehlers-danlos
joint pain, subluxations and fatigue, and why sleep data reads oddly with eds.
mcas
reactions, triggers and the delay between them, tracked against food and environment.
multiple sclerosis
ms fatigue, heat sensitivity and relapses, and what a wearable can and cannot see.
rheumatoid arthritis
morning stiffness, joint counts and flares, logged in the shape a rheumatologist reads.
hypothyroidism
fatigue, temperature and resting heart rate through dose changes and retests.
gastroparesis
meals, the hours that follow, and the delay that separates a trigger from a coincidence.
adenomyosis
heavy bleeding, pelvic pain and fatigue tracked against cycle day.
autoimmune disease
flares, fatigue and inflammation patterns when the diagnosis covers a lot of ground.
what tracking looks like across conditions
The conditions differ. The problem they create is the same one. Symptoms that come and go are difficult to hold in your head, and the day you finally get an appointment is rarely a representative day. Memory smooths out the pattern that a clinician most needs to see.
Three columns do most of the work whatever you have: how bad it was, what came before it, and what helped. The delay between a trigger and a symptom is where the answer usually hides, which is why a crash logged a day after the activity that caused it is worth more than any single severity score.
Two to four weeks is usually enough to see something real. Anything cyclical needs two to three months, because one cycle proves nothing.

Nothing to sign up for. The trackers run in your browser and save to your own device, and the worksheets are made to print and take with you.
01
which conditions does rox work for
Rox is built for any long-term condition where symptoms fluctuate, which covers fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, POTS and dysautonomia, long covid, endometriosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, Ehlers-Danlos, MCAS, gastroparesis, migraine, PCOS and perimenopause. You can add your own symptoms, so it works just as well before you have a diagnosis.
02
do i need a diagnosis to start tracking
No, and the undiagnosed period is when tracking is worth the most. A few months of dated symptoms, severity and what preceded them is often the strongest evidence you can bring to the appointment where a diagnosis gets made.
03
how long should i track before an appointment
Two to four weeks covers most cases. It is long enough to show a pattern rather than a bad week, and short enough that you will actually finish it. For anything cyclical, two to three months is better.
04
is my health data private
The free trackers on this site save to your own browser and never reach a server. In the app, your data is yours: Rox does not sell it, and the point of the doctor report is that you choose when to share it and with whom.
Rox is a tracking tool, not medical advice. It cannot diagnose or treat anything, and nothing here replaces a conversation with your own clinician.
