01 The problem

Most people with IC keep their notes on sticky notes, half-finished journals, and the Notes app.

Interstitial cystitis doesn’t flare on a schedule. It flares two hours after a cup of coffee, or the morning after a poor night’s sleep, or for reasons that only make sense after six months of careful logging. The pattern is the point—and the pattern gets lost.

IC Buddy was built around a single question: Can you show me what you ate the day before your last flare? Most people can’t. Now they can.

Dashboard

Seven-day snapshot at a glance.

Six vitals that actually matter for IC—average pain, flares, urination, nocturia, mood, and energy—roll up into a tile-based home screen you can read one-handed at 3 AM.

Trigger engine

Food warnings, earned not assumed.

The engine watches what you ate the 24–48 hours before each flare and flags repeat offenders. No generic “avoid citrus” lists—just your patterns.

Navigation

Twelve trackers, one tidy drawer.

Hormone cycles, medications, appointments, nocturia, pelvic discomfort—organized like a clinic intake form, not a consumer app.

Symptom log

Sliders, not essays.

Pain, urgency, pressure, pelvic discomfort, fatigue—each on a 0–10 slider. Finish a daily log in under 90 seconds. Stick with it for months.

Expanded log sections for flare status, lifestyle, diet, medications, hormonal, environment, mental health and notes

Deep log

Go shallow daily. Go deep when it matters.

The collapsible log covers diet, lifestyle, hormones, environment, mental health and notes. Expand only the sections that are flaring today—leave the rest alone. Your urologist will thank you.

Frequently asked questions

Is IC Buddy a medical device?

No—it’s a symptom diary, not a diagnostic tool. Nothing in the app replaces a conversation with your urologist or pelvic-floor PT. What it does do is make those conversations shorter and sharper.

Where does my data live?

On your phone, by default. Cloud sync is opt-in and encrypted end-to-end. We never sell data, and there are no third-party analytics SDKs in the app.

Can I export a report for my doctor?

Yes. A one-page PDF covering the last 30 or 90 days, with flare density, trigger overlap, and a medication timeline.

How much does it cost?

Free during beta. When we graduate, the core tracker stays free; advanced analytics will be $4.20/month, with a no-questions hardship tier for anyone who needs it.

I don’t have IC—can I still use it?

It’s tuned for IC and BPS, but people with overlapping conditions (endometriosis, vulvodynia, chronic UTI) have told us the tracker works for them too. We’re listening.

Start logging tonight. Patterns emerge by week three.

The beta is invite-only. Leave an email and we’ll send a code within 48 hours—no waitlist theater.
