Two different starting points
Bearable is a flexible, general-purpose symptom and mood tracker that you can customise for many different conditions and goals. WellNest starts from the other end: it ships with ready-made, condition-specific diaries for chronic pain and CRPS, epilepsy and asthma, so the structure is already there when you open the app. If you enjoy building your own tracking setup, a general-purpose tracker may suit you. If you want a tracker that already understands your condition's language, that's the gap WellNest set out to fill.
Condition-specific trackers
WellNest's trackers are purpose-built rather than generic. The chronic pain and CRPS diary records severity, location, pain types, triggers and relief methods. The epilepsy seizure diary captures seizure type, severity, duration, warning signs and whether rescue medication was taken. The asthma tracker logs peak flow readings, symptoms, inhaler use and triggers, and stores your written action plan. You can also add any other condition – such as fibromyalgia – and log general symptom entries against it.
Beyond symptom tracking
WellNest also covers the practical side of living with a chronic condition: a step-by-step emergency action plan you can share with carers through a private link, a medical expense tracker with health fund claim statuses, a medication tracker with doses by time of day, refills and eScript codes, appointments and care-team contacts – all exportable as PDF reports for your GP or specialist.
Australian through and through
WellNest is built in Australia. Prices are in Australian dollars, emergency messaging references 000, and the app is designed with Australian privacy compliance in mind – which matters when you're storing sensitive health information.
Which should you choose?
If you want a general-purpose, highly customisable symptom and mood tracker, Bearable may well suit you. If you live with CRPS, chronic pain, epilepsy or asthma and want ready-made, condition-specific trackers plus emergency plans, expense records and dated PDF reports for your doctors, that's where WellNest focuses. Both apps offer a trial, so try them and see which fits your routine.
