What it tracks
Mind and sleep every day. Body and cycle if they’re part of it.
Start with how your head is and how you slept. Add your body or your cycle when you want the fuller picture. Nothing here asks you to name a condition.
The core
Mind and sleep. Always on.
Mind
Short check-ins through the day, three by default, inside hours you set. Because by 9pm, you’ve forgotten what 11am felt like. Pick 2 of the 8 or all of them, and change them whenever you like.
Sleep
Once a day: how you slept, and how many hours if you want to add that. It sits apart from the 8. Skip it on the days you need to. Nothing breaks.
Most trackers make you choose between covering everything and being easy enough to keep using. You choose what matters once, in under a minute, and every check-in after that stays short, however many things you track.
Optional
Your body, if it’s part of the picture.
Pain, dizziness, a joint giving way, a crash after a busy day. If your body is part of what’s going on, track it next to your mind, or on its own. Switch it on when you set up, or later in Settings.
One question, plus your picks
How wrung out you are at the end of the day is the one question that’s always asked. Add any of the others that apply to you.
Up to four, first thing
Choose up to four to answer when you wake, so you can see how your mornings and evenings differ.
Log the moment
Tap an event as it happens, so it’s on the record with the time it started, not pieced together later.
What you can rate
- Fatigue across the dayHow heavy your body felt, taking the day as a whole.
- Joint and muscle painSpecific places you could point to.
- Widespread painAching or burning all over, skin sore to touch.
- Joint instabilityLooseness, giving way, holding yourself together.
- BreathingAir hunger, breathless on effort, or a tight chest.
- DizzinessLightheaded, heart racing, greying out on standing.
- GutNausea, bloating, cramping.
- Brain fogWoolly thinking, losing the thread, reaching for words.
- End-of-day exhaustionEvery eveningRight now, this evening, at the end of it.
What you can log as it happens
Where it was, and what it felt like
Mark where it hurt or gave way on a body map, and describe pain in plain words. A 6 that aches and a 6 that burns aren’t the same thing to your clinician.
Body tracking is newer than the mind side. Everything here works today, and it’s still being refined.
Optional, for context
Day 1. Nothing more.
Log Day 1, the day your period starts. That’s the only thing you enter. Symetric then counts the days, Day 13, Day 24, until you log the next Day 1 and it starts again.
It doesn’t predict your next period, guess your phase, or read anything into the date.
Plenty of apps will tell you which phase you’re probably in. Symetric just tells you how many days it’s been, so you and your clinician have the count, not a guess dressed up as a fact.
