Tell a Duck In build
A voice journal for chronic conditions

Speak how you feel.
We organize it.
You keep every word.

Press a button during a flare and say what is happening — your words become tidy, editable entries.

Low-stimulation by design — soft tones and gentle contrast, easy on tired or light-sensitive eyes.

A calm white duck at rest
Built for the worst days

Made for a flare, not a form.

Most apps want a daily check-in and a grid of checkboxes. Tell a Duck wants one sentence, said out loud.

The usual way

A long form. A dozen fields. Typing with hands that hurt.

Tell a Duck

One press. A few sentences out loud. Done.

You said

“I've got a dull, throbbing headache behind my temples and I feel pretty nauseous. It started around 4 PM. I took 400 mg of ibuprofen just now.”

Every field comes straight from something you said. Nothing is added — you and your doctor draw the conclusions.

1

Speak.

Record button, Action Button, or Watch — drop your wrist mid-sentence and it keeps listening.

2

It gets organized.

Your words become tidy fields, each taken straight from what you said.

3

Review, and look back.

Glance, fix with a tap, save. A weekly look back waits for when you need it.

Wherever it hits, you can log it.

Flares do not wait for a desk.

Your week, in your words and the data.

Your evidence, structured for your next appointment

One clean page: your most frequent symptoms, how often and how long, what you took, and your own words quoted exactly.

Flare days vs. other days — bare numbers, side-by-side. No arrows, no verdicts.

A weekly look back

Flare days and quiet ones, with sleep, heart rate and pressure side-by-side. No conclusions drawn for you.

Your own words, kept

Quoted exactly — the record your doctor sees is yours, not a guess about you.

Flares, not checklists

Entries gather into episodes that stay open until you say they are done. No streak to lose.

Context, zero taps

With your permission, each entry quietly notes sleep, heart rate and weather from Apple Health and WeatherKit.

No streaks to break — a bad day should never feel like a failed chore.

A white duck, eyes closed, resting peacefully

Your health, kept on your side.

No accounts. Audio is never stored. The sensitive parts never leave your phone. Architecture, not a promise.

No account

No email, no password. A random ID on your device is all there is.

Audio is never stored

Turned to text, then gone in the same breath. Nothing kept on a server.

Server-blind by design

Your name, Apple Health, the weather, your location — none of it crosses the network.

Yours, on your devices

Everything lives on your iPhone and syncs through your own iCloud. We keep no copy.

Tell a Duck is in build.
