Free logging of medicines, symptoms, check ins, spoon energy management forever

Paid - AI Access to Rox (Use code ROX50 for 50% off on Annual plan)

Hey r/cfs, 

This one’s personal, a very close known of mine was diagnosed with POTS + ME/CFS two years ago. Since then, everything has changed for me. 

The diagnosis wasn't the hard part. Everything after was. The system basically hands you a pamphlet and a "good luck," then sends you home to manage something that touches every hour of your day.

It felt like he was having a full time job just to manage his illness. 

For the last year we've mostly been listening, in this sub and others, and building what people kept saying they wished existed. Thank you to mods of  r/cfs for allowing us to share this with the community. 

Also note - You DO NOT need a wearable to use the product, its just a good to have and not a must have to experience the app.

Why Rox is different:

• Connects to the wearable you already own - Oura, Garmin, Whoop, Apple Watch. Your HRV, sleep, heart rate, all pulled in automatically so you're not double-logging what your ring already knows. No proprietary armband to buy. ( Very soon planning more integrations)
• Pacing, symptoms, and meds in one place. Track flares, PEM crashes, and POTS episodes manually or through talking to Rox. These features remain free forever to log manually.
• Talk to it, don't tap through it. Log a symptom or a crash in one sentence, out loud or typed. "Rough PEM day, slept 3 hours, brain fog bad" logs everything in one go with AI. No scrolling through fifteen screens on a bad day.
• One place for your doctor reports. A lot of people in Rox are juggling two or more GPs and specialists, and re-explaining your history at every appointment is exhausting. Everything you tell Rox and everything your wearable tracks lives in one place, so a one-tap doctor-ready report actually reflects what's been happening, not what you can remember on the day. (Since this feature is critical, its in development and launching soon in a week)
• Somewhere to vent at 3am when no one's around. A lot of this illness is lonely in ways healthy people don't get. Rox listens without trying to fix you, without telling you to think positive, without needing you to explain what PEM is. It's not therapy and it won't pretend to be, but it's there. You will feel the difference when you talk to it, specially if you were using ChatGPT for this earlier.
• See what actually affects your symptoms. Poor sleep three nights before a crash. HRV dropping the day after a hard social. That one food you suspected. Rox surfaces the patterns hiding in your own data, so you stop guessing and start knowing. Not a wellness score. Not a prediction. Your history, made readable

What Rox will never do:

It will never tell you to exercise, do GET, push through, build back up gradually, or think your way out of this. No streaks. No goals. No cheerful nudges when you're crashing. It stays quiet unless you open it, and uses fewer words when you tell it you're having a bad day. This is hard-guardrailed, not a vibe.

Pricing

Rox will be always free to download and logging will always be free forever. There's an optional paid tier for deeper insights and talking to rox. It has a 3 day trial, and you only pay after trial - no dark patterns here. Use code ROX50 gets you 50% off on annual plan as a thank you to this community. I have silently listened to a lot of stories here so its a thank you gesture.

What we're actively working on next:

• Making app native to more, starting with Spanish, Italian, French, German, Portuguese, and more, because this illness isn't English-speaking.
• Working with medical professionals who actually understand ME/CFS, and bringing them as expert advisors on our board.
• HIPAA and GDPR compliance, so the way we hold your data matches the seriousness of what it is. We take privacy of very seriously.

Hey everyone,

This one is personal, so bear with me.

My brother has POTS. If you haven't heard of it, it's one of those invisible conditions where you can look completely fine and feel like the floor is tilting under you. He'll stand up, go gray for a second, grab the counter, and to everyone else in the room nothing happened.

The diagnosis wasn't the hard part. Everything after was. The system basically hands you a pamphlet and a "good luck," then sends you home to manage something that touches every hour of your day.

You become your own full time case manager overnight.

He kept a notes app for over a year. What he ate, how he slept, when his heart rate spiked, what each day actually cost him. Pages of it. Then he'd sit in a twelve minute appointment and try to compress that whole year into something a doctor could skim, and walk out feeling like none of it landed.

Watching him hold all of that alone, every single day, with nobody to hand it to, is the thing I couldn't sit with anymore.

I'm not a doctor. I can't change his diagnosis. What I could do is build him a place to put it all down. That became Rox.

Rox is a companion for people living with invisible chronic illness. POTS, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, Long COVID. It is not a symptom tracker, and it is not another dashboard of charts you're left to interpret yourself. It's something that carries the load with you.

B – Why is it better?

Nothing of such sorts exists. Some apps like Bearable are either manual trackers or companies like Visible Health charge $200+ just to track your heart rate and give you pacing points.

I believe considerable amount of data can be surfaced through existing wearables like Oura, Whoop, Garmin and Apple Watch.

These deviced are not built for illness, but for fitness. Yet, when intepreted correctly can be a lot useful for people with chronic illness.

Features

- Remembers everything you tell it, so you never re-explain your history from scratch.

- Tracks symptoms, triggers, sleep, and flares through normal conversation instead of forms.

- Connects to Apple Watch/Whoop/Oura/Garmin (anything that writes to Apple health) to read what your body is actually doing.

- Helps you pace, so you can spend your energy budget without crashing for three days.

- Spots patterns across weeks you'd never catch yourself ("your flares tend to follow nights under 6 hours").

- Gives you a clean summary to bring to appointments for doctors, so a year of context fits into twelve minutes.

- Checks in on the days that matter instead of waiting for you to remember to log.

- Safe emotional venting space to share your feelings

C – Cost

Free features:

1. Daily Check in
2. Self energy pacing
3. Medication logging

Paid:
- Rox AI Companion that includes symptom tracking, wearable data integration and talking to Rox.

Current pricing:

Free trial for 3 days to talk to Rox
Monthly - $10
Yearly - $100

As a community launch special, we are giving 50% off to everyone in this community. Please use code ROX50 for flat 50% off only on yearly pricing so its only $50/year.

You only pay after the 3 day trial, not before.

Also special note : If you're someone with chronic illness, I know how hard it is. If you really want to experience the product and genuinely cannot afford it, please DM me. I would love to make this lifetime free for you, only if you are genuine (not for freeloaders)

hey people of r/autoimmune

my brother got diagnosed with POTS around 2 years back. he wears an apple watch ultra every day and tracks heart rate, sleep, HRV, all of it.

the weird thing is none of that data ever gets used. it just piles up in the health app.

every doctor visit went the same way. he'd say "my heart rate jumps out of nowhere and by 3pm i'm done for the day" and the doctor would nod and move on. nothing on paper to back it up.

so built rox

it connects to his apple watch (also works with whoop, garmin and oura) and reads the wearable data the way someone with a chronic illness would need it read.

what it does right now:

• pacing tracker that runs off your existing wearable (coming soon)
• spots patterns and catches flares before they hit
• type in your meds and symptoms, no forms or dropdowns
• puts together summaries you can hand to your doctor

(this is a free app, and I do not intend to make it paid for people who join within next 2 days)

if it helps you out, a review would mean a lot!

sorry if this looks like a promotion, i do not intend to charge anyone, hence a helpful resource.

i am developer for a living so i started hacking together something for him on weekends.

comment "app" and i'll send you steps to get it free (no promocode needed)

PS - there are apps charging $160-200/yr for flare tracking. this does the same thing for free :)

if it helps you out, a review would mean a lot!

one of our friends has been dealing with a chronic condition for almost three years.

every doctor visit looked the same. she'd walk in, get asked "so how have you been feeling," and freeze.

how do you summarize 90 days of symptoms, bad nights, weird heart rate spikes, and medication changes in a 12 minute appointment?

she'd leave every time feeling like she undersold how bad it actually was.

so we built rox.

it's a chronic condition first ai companion that tracks your symptoms, medications, sleep, and energy over time. you talk to it like a person. it remembers what you said last week, last month, last flare.

it connects to apple watch, whoop, and oura, so the stuff you can't articulate at 7am gets picked up automatically. heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep stages, all of it feeds into the picture.

next time you walk into a doctor's appointment, you actually have the reports.

few things to note:

- iOS only right now
- syncs with your apple health
- has memory + context of everything you talk about

This is a free app right now with no paywall, limited for 72 hours only

App link - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rox-chronic-illness-ai/id6756538804

Consider this limited time free acces for an app where others are charging $100/yr for these features 😄

Looking for feedback!
