See when your symptoms actually happened
The problem
Side effects are remembered as a general impression and reported as one. The detail that would be useful (when, how strong, how often, relative to what) is exactly the part that fades first.
What Dozify does
Three taps, at the time
Eleven symptom types with a severity scale. Logged when it happens, not reconstructed at the appointment.
Timing you can read off
How your own entries have sat relative to a dose. Looking backwards at what happened, not forwards at what might.
Optional journal fields
Appetite, food noise, cravings, how meals are sitting: only if you chose to track them.
Who this helps
People in the first weeks, and people who have just moved up a dose, the two points where symptoms are most worth writing down. It is also for anyone whose doctor has asked a question the memory cannot answer: how often, how bad, and how long after the injection.
Where it stops
A journal is a record, not an assessment. Dozify cannot tell you whether a symptom comes from the medication, from something you ate or from something else entirely, and it does not triage. Severe or sudden symptoms (persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, signs of an allergic reaction) are a reason to contact a clinician or emergency services now, not to open an app.
Private by default
Your health records stay on your device and are never uploaded. There is no account and no cloud sync. Usage statistics never carry a medication name or a symptom, details in the privacy policy.
Questions
Which symptoms can I log?
Eleven of the common ones, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux, fatigue, headache, dizziness, injection-site reaction, appetite change and stomach pain: each with a severity you choose. Anything else goes in the note.
Does it tell me whether the medication caused it?
No, and it should not. It shows you when your entries happened relative to your doses; what that means is a conversation with your doctor.
What should I do about a severe symptom?
Contact your clinician or emergency services. Logging it afterwards is useful; logging it instead is not.
Do the entries appear in the doctor report?
Yes, if you include that section: with their dates, their severity and where they fell relative to your injections.
Can I log things that are not symptoms?
Yes. Appetite, food noise, cravings and how meals are sitting are optional fields, for the people who find them worth watching.
