What to look for
- Does it support your conditions? General symptom trackers are flexible; condition-specific ones capture details like peak flow or seizure type without setup.
- Can you get a clear report out? A dated PDF you can hand your GP or specialist is often the most useful feature.
- Medications and reminders in the same place as symptoms, so you can see links between doses and flare-ups.
- Emergency information your carers can open quickly.
- Privacy: where your data is stored, whether it's sold, and whether you can export or delete it.
- Australian details: pricing in AUD, 000 in emergency info, and expense tracking for medical costs and claims.
- Price and whether there's a free trial.

When another app might suit you better
If your main focus is menstrual cycle or food and gut triggers, a broad tracker like Bearable may fit better. If you need to pull in vitals from devices, look at Guava. If you use Android, WellNest isn't available there yet. If you live with chronic pain, CRPS, asthma or epilepsy and want those tracked in detail alongside your medications, appointments and emergency plan, WellNest is built for exactly that.
