The chronic illness journal
For the days you can barely think. Whisper how you feel — by voice or by watch — and Vaely turns it into a record your doctor can use.
iPhone, Apple Watch. Free tier with unlimited voice logging. Pro from $4.99/month.
At the end of the day, I forget what my name is — never mind what I had for breakfast. — A patient on chronic illness journaling
Every chronic illness app asks you to navigate a form during your worst moment. Vaely asks you to whisper. The app does the rest.
Three things, done well
Executive summary up front, charts and medication arcs next, your own journal entries at the back. Plain English alongside common medical terms, headed Personal Wellness Journal Summary — Not a Medical Document. Structured for the eleven minutes your doctor has with you.
Pre-visit briefing names the three patterns worth bringing up. Post-visit voice debrief captures what the doctor said before you forget.
See the report we generateDescribe how you feel in plain language. The on-device AI extracts the dose, the symptom, the severity, the time — and shows it to you to confirm before it saves.
Voice or text. iPhone or Apple Watch. Works in seconds, even on the days you can barely think.
How natural-language logging worksThe AI runs on your device — Apple's on-device language model, the same chip that runs Siri. We never see what you write because we have no servers that receive it.
The App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected. That's not a promise. It's an architectural fact you can verify.
Where your data livesWhat you generate
Executive summary on page one — the three patterns worth bringing up and the medication arc. Charts on pages two through four. Your verbatim journal entries from pages five through twelve. Headed Personal Wellness Journal Summary — Not a Medical Document. Generated on your phone in seconds. Print it, AirDrop it, attach it in your patient portal.

Because there are no servers. The journal lives on your phone. The AI runs on your phone. The doctor PDF is generated on your phone. The encrypted backup file is encrypted on your phone, with a key that is intentionally not synced to iCloud Keychain — a line of code we wrote on purpose.
Most privacy-first apps make a promise. Vaely made an architectural decision. The two are not the same.

These are composite paraphrased voices, drawn from publicly visible chronic-illness community discussions. No individual is quoted.
By the time I sit down with my doctor, I have forgotten what I came in to say. Then I get home and remember the three things I should have brought up.
Every app I have tried wants me to fill out a form on my worst days. Those are the days I cannot fill out a form.
I just want a record that exists outside my head, so that when I am too tired to advocate for myself, the data still does.
For anyone who needs it
If you're on disability, fixed income, or you simply can't pay full price right now, Vaely Pro is yours for $29.99 a year. There's no income verification. There's no proof we ask for. The tier is listed in the App Store. You select it during onboarding, or any time later in Settings.
We have real costs — Apple's cut, the team, hosting, legal, the rest. What's different about Vaely is that the AI runs on your phone, not a server we rent. Adding one more user doesn't grow a cloud-inference bill. That's what makes a $29.99 price work without being a loss leader: the unit economics support it, so we can offer it without strings.
