The best IBS and GERD tracker apps in 2026, compared

It depends on what you need. The apps worth knowing are agni, mySymptoms, Bowelle, the Monash University FODMAP app, NoBurn, and MyIBS. The biggest difference between them is whether the app finds your triggers for you or gives you a diary to read yourself.

If you have GERD or IBS and want the app to do the matching, agni and mySymptoms are the two to look at. agni is built around those two conditions specifically; mySymptoms covers many conditions and runs on Android too.

These are the features that matter most for GERD and IBS: whether the app finds triggers for you, what it logs, and what your doctor gets.

agni gives each kind of symptom its own time window after a meal: 15 minutes to 3 hours for reflux, 2 to 8 hours for bloating, up to 3 days for changes in your stool. It marks each possible trigger as learning, confident, or confirmed, so you know how much to trust it.

It is set up for GERD or IBS when you start: reflux symptoms like regurgitation and water brash for GERD; the Bristol stool scale, your IBS subtype, and FODMAP groups on every ingredient for IBS. You can log a meal by photo, barcode, menu, label, or voice, and export a PDF report for your doctor.

agni is iPhone only and launching soon. More on how it works for IBS and for GERD.

mySymptoms

The most established app that finds triggers automatically, on iPhone and Android. You log food, drink, medication, stress, exercise, sleep, bowel movements, and symptoms, and its analysis flags suspect foods. It covers many conditions beyond the gut, rather than GERD and IBS specifically. Premium is $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year on the US App Store, and the Android version contains ads.

Bowelle

A clean IBS diary. You log how you feel, meals with photos, water, stress, and bowel movements, then chart your data to look for patterns yourself. Free, with an optional premium purchase.

Monash University FODMAP Diet

The reference low FODMAP food guide, from the university that developed the diet. It is a one-time purchase with a diary, but it does not analyze your diary for you, so many people pair it with a tracker.

NoBurn

A reflux app that scans food by photo or barcode and rates foods for acidity, with charts and CSV export. Its listing says food scanning, symptom tracking, and most other features need a subscription.

MyIBS

A free iPhone diary from the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation, with a printable report for your doctor.

What happened to Cara Care?

Cara Care still appears on many "best IBS app" lists, but its consumer app for the US and Canada has not been updated since October 2020. The company now makes a prescription program for patients in Germany. If a list recommends it, check when that list was last updated.
