Release Notes
PainLog is actively maintained and improving every week. Here's what we've shipped — and what we're building next. We keep this honest: real changes, plainly described.
Have an idea or hit a bug? Use Send feedback inside the app, or email feedback@painlog.org — it shapes what we build next.
🛠️ Now building
Our current focus: expanding PainLog beyond heart and chest symptoms, so more people can track what matters to them — with cleaner records to share with their care team.
- More tracker types. A dedicated head injury / concussion tracker and a flexible general tracker, alongside the original heart tracker. Pick what you're tracking when you first sign in, and switch anytime.
- Functional-impact logging. Quickly note real-life effects of an episode — missed work, couldn't drive, missed an event — as simple structured fields, not buried in notes.
- Cleaner exports for documentation. A cover sheet (name, date range, entry count, how the data was captured) and a tidier layout, so your record reads clearly for any provider.
- In-app feedback. Report a bug or request a new tracker from inside the app — and tell us what to build next.
- Guided safety prompts. Plain, source-backed reminders to seek care when certain symptoms appear. Informational only — never a diagnosis.
PainLog grows beyond the heart: choose what you track, with templates tuned to your condition.
- Choose your tracker. On first run, pick Heart, TBI (concussion & brain injury), or Other — each with symptoms and triggers tuned to that condition.
- Red-flag banners. Condition-specific warning signs (CDC-sourced for TBI) surfaced where they matter.
- In-app feedback. Send bugs, feature ideas, or tracker requests right from the app.
- Per-tracker log view. Focus on one tracker or see them all; every entry is badged by tracker, and exports follow what's on screen.
- AI Backfill retired. We removed the experimental AI note-import feature. Your notes are no longer sent to any third-party AI service — everything stays within our HIPAA-aligned infrastructure.
- Hardened PDF export so your entry text always prints as text, never as executable markup.
A hardening and polish pass: PainLog is faster, more reliable on your phone, easier to use, and more secure under the hood.
- Undo delete. Removed an entry by accident? A quick "Undo" brings it right back.
- Build transparency. The app now shows its exact version, so you always know you're on the latest.
- Easier tapping. Larger touch targets and clearer selected states on symptom and trigger buttons.
- Smoother updates. The app no longer reloads while you're in the middle of an entry.
- Faster, safer foundation. Updated core libraries with a clean security audit.
- Layout. Screens now fill your phone properly — no more narrow, shrink-wrapped views.
- Google sign-in. Resolved a login issue after our move to app.painlog.org.
- PWA refresh. Restored the refresh button when running PainLog as an installed app.
- Server-side validation on every entry, stronger one-time login codes, stricter access controls, and tighter logging — part of our HIPAA-aligned security work.
PainLog launched — a simple, secure way to log chest and heart pain episodes and share clean reports with your doctor.
- Episode logging with a 1–10 scale, symptom and trigger chips, and notes.
- Live timer that counts each episode and auto-stops at 20 minutes.
- AI backfill — paste messy notes and let PainLog structure them for you.
- Exports in TXT, CSV, and PDF, ready for your appointment.
- Secure accounts with email or Google sign-in and passwordless magic-link login.
- Add to Home Screen for a fast, app-like experience on any device.
