Five things,
done well.

Vaely is small on purpose. Most chronic-illness apps accumulate features the way a flare accumulates symptoms: one on top of another, until the patient cannot navigate any of them. We chose five things that matter, and built each of them with the patience the audience deserves.

I

Talk to log

The wedge feature.

Whisper how you feel, by voice or by text, on iPhone or Apple Watch. The on-device AI structures your sentence into a journal entry and shows it to you to review. The form goes away. The journal stays.

  • Voice or text input
  • Apple Watch logging
  • Confirmation review
  • Multi-language extraction

II

Doctor-ready reports

The full appointment lifecycle.

Pre-visit briefing names the three patterns worth bringing up. The doctor PDF is structured for the eleven-minute appointment — executive summary up front, charts, then your own journal entries — headed Personal Wellness Journal Summary. Post-visit voice debrief catches what your doctor said while it is fresh.

  • Doctor-ready PDF
  • Post-visit debrief

III

Where your data lives

The architectural privacy claim.

The AI runs on your phone. Apple Foundation Models, Apple NaturalLanguage, on 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, and Apple verifies it.

  • Zero network calls

IV

Apple Watch and Siri

The accessibility surface.

Log from your wrist when holding a phone hurts. Speak the entry to Siri without opening anything. The Watch app is a first-class citizen: standalone logging, Live Activity, contextual Relevance Widgets. Voice-first is the input paradigm, before VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and the rest of the suite.

  • Standalone Watch app
  • Siri shortcuts (basic + advanced)
  • Live Activity
  • Relevance Widgets

V

Caregiver sharing and exports

Peer-to-peer, never through a server.

Share a doctor PDF, an encrypted backup, or a research export with a family member, a caregiver, a clinician — directly, by AirDrop or iMessage. The transfer goes from your phone to theirs by the channel you choose. Vaely is not in the middle.

  • Doctor PDF
  • Apple Health write-back
  • Encrypted local backup
  • Research export (anonymized)

The rest, in detail

Smaller things, also done well.

  • Custom tracking metrics

    Pro. Build any metric your condition needs that the defaults do not cover — pain location maps, blood sugar, side-effect intensity, anything.

  • Medication effectiveness tracking

    Pro. Passive correlation of treatment changes with symptom trajectories. The single most doctor-valuable output the app produces.

  • Pattern observations

    Pro. Retrospective analysis across months of your own data via on-device RAG. "Your journal shows you log more joint pain on days after short sleep." Never predictions.

  • Streaks, badges, monthly health score

    Pro. Off by default. Quiet engagement, never aggressive. Anti-guilt by design.

  • Advanced charts

    Pro. Multi-symptom overlay, medication-effectiveness over time, trigger heatmaps. For when you want to see, not just read.

  • Research export

    Pro. Anonymized, user-initiated export for voluntary clinical study contributions. The patient pushes the button. Always.

  • Encrypted local backup

    Pro. A single restorable file. The encryption key never goes to iCloud Keychain.

  • Apple Health write-back

    Pro. Your Vaely entries appear in Apple Health alongside your other data. If you ever delete Vaely, your record survives.

Common questions about features

The plain answers.

Is the free tier limited in time or in feature?

Limited only in feature, not in time. Free includes unlimited natural-language logging, calendar, medication reminders, basic Apple Health read access, the weekly summary, the Watch widget, the basic Siri shortcut, and three doctor-ready PDF reports per year. Free is forever.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. The iPhone is sufficient. The Apple Watch makes voice logging accessible from the wrist, which matters most when holding a phone is painful — but it is not required.

Which conditions does Vaely support?

Any chronic condition where day-to-day symptom tracking matters. Onboarding configures the AI for the specific condition or conditions you select; common ones include fibromyalgia, migraine, endometriosis, PCOS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ADHD, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, long COVID, EDS, MS, IBS, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Custom tracking metrics handle whatever the defaults do not.

What languages does the AI understand?

The on-device language model handles many languages for natural-language extraction. The website is English at launch; the app itself is multi-language. Type or speak in the language that fits your day.
