FeatureBody atlas

Pain has a place. Keep it.

Pain radiates, switches sides and turns up somewhere new. Longnote keeps the place as carefully as the number: a 3-D body you mark as exactly as it hurts, painted in each tracker’s colour, remembered over months.

Longnote’s 3-D body, turned a little, with sample areas tinted in tracker colours: a small painted patch on each side of the head, above the temples, in raspberry at near-full strength for a severe migraine, the right shoulder in apricot at medium strength, both knees in pale blue for mild to moderate, and the left wrist in a faint teal for mild.

01Place it

Tap · dot · brush

As exact as the pain is. As quick as you need.

“Somewhere in the knee” and “a coin-sized spot behind the left knee” are different notes. Pick the region in one tap on a bad day, or take a moment and mark the precise place.

Longnote’s entry sheet with the area picker open: the knees and hips already marked from last time, then the left and right shoulder added as two areas, with the body turning and zooming to each.
The area picker after a tap on the left knee: the knee shaded in the tracker’s colour, a ringed pin labelled Left knee where the finger landed, and plus markers for the knee’s parts.
The area picker in Dot mode on the left knee: three separate dots, the dot-size slider, and the top bar naming the newest one “Spot on left knee 3”.
The area picker in Brush mode: a soft painted band across the left knee, with the brush-size slider above it.
  • 01Mark several spots in one area, then select any of them to move or remove it. Undo steps back through your changes.
  • 02Tap among tightly packed parts, on the face, a hand or a foot, and the body zooms in so you hit the one you mean.
  • 03Search by name instead: “left temple”, “heel”, “base of skull”. Your five most recent picks are one tap away.
  • 04A tracker remembers its areas, so the next entry opens with them already marked.
Longnote’s Search by name sheet with “thigh” typed into the search field at the bottom: eight results, Front of thigh, Back of thigh, Inner thigh and Outer thigh for the left leg, then the same four for the right leg, each labelled with its leg.
Search by name, from the app.

Colour is never asked to mean two things

Colour says whose. Strength says how bad.

No traffic light. Every tracker paints in its own colour, and the strength of that colour is the severity: faint for mild, near-solid for severe. A day with an explicit “clear” is grey, so it never looks like a day you skipped.

Severity as strength

  • 01Open the atlas on its own and every tracker’s latest reading is on the body, with a chip that says how long ago: “2 hours ago · 6/10”.
  • 02Where two trackers share a spot, the worse one shows, in its own colour.
  • 03Tap a chip to open that tracker’s overview: its chart, its cards, its history.
Longnote’s body atlas: a 3-D figure with the hips and both knees tinted, and dated callouts reading psoriasis 20 hours ago, clear; mole check 3 days ago; joint stiffness 8 hours ago, 1 of 10; steroid cream 5 days ago; and knee pain last month, 3 of 10, beside a mild-to-severe scale.

03Look back

7 days · 30 days · 3 months

Watch it move over weeks, not just today.

History turns the atlas into a timeline. Each day is one bar: its colour is the day’s worst tracker, its length the worst reading. Drag across the days and the body repaints to each one.

Longnote’s body atlas in History mode over 30 days with Tuesday, October 13 pinned: the hips and knees shaded in Joint stiffness’s blue, callouts reading Migraine 8/10, Joint stiffness 7/10 and Psoriasis clear, and below them a row of 30 day bars in each day’s worst tracker’s colour, the 7D, 30D and 90D buttons, All, and the caption “Tue, Oct 13 · 8 areas · worst: Head 8/10”.
The History panel on its own: 7D, 30D and 90D buttons with 30D chosen, a row of 30 day bars, each in that day’s worst tracker’s colour and as long as the day was bad, Tuesday, October 13 pinned, an All button, the caption “Tue, Oct 13 · 8 areas · worst: Head 8/10”, and a key for mild, moderate, severe and clear.

A day

Pin a day and the body shows each tracker’s worst moment that day, not an average that never happened.

All of it

Tap All and the range collapses into one picture: colour for how bad it was on the days it was there, opacity for how often.

Free

All three ranges, at no cost. Your history is part of your record.

04Photos

Filed by place, dated

A photo belongs to the place it shows.

A rash, a swelling, a mole you are keeping an eye on. Photos taken with an entry are kept with the area, so the atlas shows the newest ones under the body, each with its date.

The body atlas’s Recent photos panel: under the heading, the right elbow’s five newest photos of a skin patch, dated Oct 8, Oct 7, Oct 6, Sep 30 and Sep 16.
From the app, with sample data. Its sample photos are drawn illustrations.

  • 03Taking and viewing photos is free. Side-by-side comparison and alignment are Pro.

05Everywhere

Home · Overview

See where before you read what.

The body is not a screen you visit. It travels with each symptom: on its card on Home, and on its overview, where the Body map card (one of the More insights cards) ranks where it has shown up.

Longnote’s Home: the Symptoms section with two tracker cards, Migraine at 8 of 10 with a small head on its left edge, and Knee pain at 3 of 10 with a small knee.
Home, from the app with sample data: a small body on each card that has a place.
Longnote’s Body map card for Joint stiffness: “Mostly your left hip — 4 areas in the last 30 days.”, a small standing body with the hips and knees shaded, and four ranked rows: left hip 54%, left knee 38%, right hip 21% and right knee 12%.

06For every hand

VoiceOver · no precise touch needed

You don’t need a steady finger to say where.

On the days that hurt most, precise touch is hard. Every area can be reached by name, by list or with VoiceOver, without touching the body at all.

By name or by list

Region chips name every region; a search sheet lists every part, and each region has an “All of …” row when the whole area hurts.

History, read aloud

The day scrubber is an adjustable control. In All, VoiceOver reads the worst areas: Knee, severe on average, 12 of 30 days.

Your body model

Choose the female or male body under Settings → Appearance. It is used everywhere you place and review an area. Free.
