Two different questions
Bearable answers the question 'how am I feeling, and what seems to move it?' It does that with a large set of customisable factors — symptoms, mood, sleep, energy, foods, medications — and correlation views that surface patterns over weeks. For chronic illness, where the treatment is fixed and the symptoms are the variable, that is exactly the right shape.
DoseRoutine answers a different question: 'is my protocol being run correctly, and is it working?' The variable is the protocol itself — doses that titrate, vials that get reconstituted, injection sites that need rotating, cycles that start and stop, labs that move in response.
Where the overlap sits
Both apps keep a daily check-in and both plot it against what you took. The difference is how much the app understands about the thing you took. In Bearable a peptide is a label; in DoseRoutine it is a compound with a concentration, a half-life, a typical dose range, known interactions and a site history.
That matters because most protocol mistakes are mechanical rather than perceptual — the wrong syringe units, the same injection site three times running, a mineral taken inside the window where it blunts a medication. A symptom tracker cannot see any of those.
- Reconstitution and syringe-unit math handled in the app
- Injection-site rotation with a visual history
- Interaction checks across supplements, peptides, hormones and prescriptions
- Check-ins, doses, bloodwork and body metrics on one timeline
Running both, then choosing
There is no need to decide on day one. Rebuild your live protocol in DoseRoutine, keep logging symptoms wherever you already do, and give it a fortnight. The app you keep opening is the answer.
