What's new in SymTimeline

We build SymTimeline around what actually helps people living with chronic health conditions track their day-to-day experience. Every change here came from someone using it and telling us what would make it better — including our own family. This is where we'll keep a running record of what's changed.

See patterns over time, a friendlier dashboard, and a real health profile

This update touches almost every corner of the app — from a new way to spot patterns in your mood, to a settings area that finally makes sense, to a dashboard you can arrange however works for you.

See the bigger picture

Your dashboard now has a History view: a chart of how your mood has moved over any date range you choose, alongside a timeline of everything else you logged during that same window. It's an easy way to notice things like "my mood tends to dip on the days after a bad flare" — the kind of pattern that's hard to see one entry at a time.

Settings, reorganized

Settings used to be one long page. It's now split into four places that actually make sense:

  • Timeline Settings — your dashboard buttons and day-to-day recording preferences.
  • About Me — a brand-new, fully optional health profile: height, weight, age, the condition you're tracking, biological sex, diagnosis date, and current medications. Anything you fill in shows up automatically at the top of your PDF reports, so you're not re-explaining your basics to every new provider.
  • Page Settings — your password and location.
  • Privacy & Contributions — unchanged, still entirely your choice.

Smarter, more personal symptom tracking

Not everyone's version of the same symptom looks alike. When you create a custom symptom now, SymTimeline suggests which details are worth tracking — location, intensity, what it feels like — based on the name you give it, and lets you turn off anything that doesn't apply to you.

We also changed how you log an activity's after-effects: it's now a checklist instead of a single dropdown, because "how did you feel afterward" is often more than one answer.

Your dashboard, arranged your way

  • A new Log something else option lets you quickly record any symptom, even one you haven't added as a permanent dashboard button.
  • A new Customize layout mode lets you drag your dashboard buttons into whatever order actually works for you.
  • You can save an arrangement as a named layout, switch between saved layouts, or revert to the default view whenever you like.
  • Buttons are a bit more compact now, so more fits on screen without scrolling.

Small things that just work better now

A routine (daily check-in) you add now shows up on your dashboard right away, with no extra step. And there's a direct link back to your dashboard in the header, from anywhere in the app.
