Kasane vs Bearable: two ways to find what affects your symptoms

By Paul Mederos, founder of Kasane · Updated

Clinician review pending · sources checked

Bearable and Kasane both help you see what affects how you feel. Bearable is a symptom and mood tracker you fill in with taps, with correlation reports and experiments, on iPhone and Android; Kasane, on iPhone, is a health journal for your family that you write in sentences, with questions and experiments that test one change at a time.

We make Kasane, so read this with that in mind. Everything about Bearable comes from Bearable's own site and its US App Store listing, checked on October 23, 2026, and each fact links to where we found it. The Kasane column describes the version on the App Store on October 28, 2026.

Where Bearable shines

Bearable has the most ratings of the symptom apps we checked, 4.8 stars from 6.5K on the US App Store, and it updates often. Its free version is generous: unlimited tracking of symptoms, mood, energy, sleep, and medicines. It runs on iPhone and Android. And its custom factors, experiments, and correlation reports suit people who like to set up their own measures and read them across months. If that's how you like to work, it's a strong choice.

Where Kasane fits

Kasane starts from how people already talk about their day. You type or say "sushi at 12:30, bloated by 2:30", and each part is filed at its time, in your words, with a page for each day. When you name a question, like "What's making me bloated after lunch?", the coach reads your days back to you with counts and dates, then suggests one change to try for a few weeks. The experiment ends in a look-back that says what changed. Here's a fictional example, Priya, four days into a two-week try:

Priya's question page in Kasane, titled Bloated after lunch: What's making me bloated after lunch, and what can I change? Working on it since Sep 4. A try card reads No noodles or bread at lunch, day 4 of 14, look back Tuesday, Nov 3, with an Add a note button. Under What your journal says: Over the last 11 days, 10 had a lunch and a bloating check, and 6 of those 10 had some bloating. Every noodle or bread lunch, ramen on Oct 13, 19 and 20 and a bagel with lox on Oct 14 and 16, was followed by bloating. Of the 5 lunches without noodles or bread, only 1 had any bloating: a little after sushi yesterday.
Fictional example · KasaneThe pattern, read from her own days. On her question's page, the coach counts what her journal holds: every noodle or bread lunch was followed by bloating, and one of the five lunches without them was. It's a clue, so the next step is a two-week try, with the look-back date set on day one.

It's a journal for your family too. Kids and parents you care for each get one, and from your own journal, "brushed both kids' teeth" checks off the habit in each of theirs. Your records sync through your own iCloud, with no Kasane server in the path. The method behind it is in how to tell if a change is working.

Which one fits you

  • Bearable fits if you like tapping in many custom factors and reading correlation reports over months, or if you're on Android.
  • Kasane fits if you like writing it down the way you'd say it, want one question and one change at a time, or keep a journal for a child or a parent you care for. It's on the App Store for iPhone, starting with a free week: download Kasane.

Either way, a tracker is a record. Take any symptom that worries you to a doctor.

Questions people ask

Is Kasane free?

Kasane starts with a free week, with every feature. After that, Kasane Family is $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year, and one plan covers up to five more people in your Apple Family Sharing group. Without a plan, Kasane is read-only: what you've written stays readable.

Does Kasane work on Android?

Kasane is on iPhone only. Bearable runs on iPhone and Android (Bearable).

Can I move my Bearable history into Kasane?

Not today. Kasane starts from what you write from here on, with Apple Health read live. Bearable can export all your data to a CSV file, so your history stays with you either way (Bearable).

Does Kasane find correlations like Bearable?

Kasane's questions and experiments work one question at a time: the coach reads your days for that question, suggests one change to test for one to four weeks, and the look-back says what changed. Bearable's Premium correlation reports compare many factors across several health outcomes at once (Bearable).
