Bearable alternative
Looking for a Bearable alternative?
Bearable is a health and symptom journal: it tracks moods, symptoms, medication, and factors, then surfaces what affects them, on iOS and Android. Habit Pocket is the everyday-habits alternative, with the same idea of finding what is connected but as a calm habit grid of numbers and times rather than a medical-style symptom tracker. If you are managing symptoms, meds, or a chronic condition, Bearable is purpose-built for that; for everyday habits and the numbers around them, this is the lighter fit.

FAQ
Bearable vs Habit Pocket — common questions
Not as a dedicated feature. That is what Bearable is built for. Habit Pocket is for everyday habits and the numbers around them, so if symptoms and meds are your focus, Bearable is the better tool.
Yes. The select habit type lets you log mood or energy each day from a list of color-coded options you define (great, okay, low, or your own scale), one or several at a time. Bearable still goes deeper on symptoms, medication, and clinical-style factor correlations; Habit Pocket keeps mood as one calm column in your habit grid.
For a calmer, simpler grid focused on habits like sleep times, steps, and weight, with the candle chart and free cross-device sync, rather than a full health and symptom journal.
