Find what triggers your flares by tracking what comes before them

Flares rarely come out of nowhere, but the warning signs are easy to miss when you are in the middle of them. Heylixir is a symptom tracker app that keeps your symptoms, sleep, mood, meds and journal in one place, so you can look back and see what tends to come before a flare.

Track the days around a flare, not just the flare

To spot a trigger you need the days before a flare, not only the flare itself. Heylixir makes that easy with short daily check-ins by voice or tap: how you feel, what you did, how you slept, what you took.

Over a few weeks you build a record you could never hold in your head, and it is there for you on the days you cannot explain what happened.

Let patterns do the heavy lifting

Halo AI looks across your own logs and points out patterns in plain language, such as what often shows up before a rough stretch. You decide what to make of them.

These are patterns to explore, not proof of a cause. They are a useful, concrete starting point for a conversation with your care team.

Plan for the hard days

Once you can see your own patterns, planning gets easier: resting earlier, spacing out busy days and keeping the basics simple when a flare is likely. Heylixir also has community groups, so you are not working it out alone.
