Comparison
Bearable and Mendly both compare what you do with how you feel. Bearable is a broad health tracker built around symptoms and long-term health conditions as well as mental health. Mendly is a one-minute mood check-in focused on everyday habits, with a second side for therapists whose clients check in between sessions.

Start free with 2 clientsBearable tracks a lot: mood, energy, symptoms, medication, sleep, food, your cycle and more, at several points in the day if you like. It compares days when a factor happened with days it did not, and shows whether it had a positive, negative or neutral impact.
Mendly tracks less on purpose: a score for your day, a few short answers and an optional note. It is a general wellness app, not a symptom tracker. It shows how often days with a habit were good days, compared with days without it, and only once a pattern passes a statistical test. If your therapist uses Mendly, they can set up a check-in for you and see it before each session.
Mendly is a short daily check-in with two ways to use it. The two are kept separate: a personal account is never visible to a therapist.

Bearable is a personal tracker. Its help pages suggest sharing an export, screenshots of your reports or your timeline with your doctor or therapist.
Mendly has a side built for this. A therapist who uses Mendly picks the questions you answer each day and sends you an invite. You check in on your phone, and your answers, notes and mood go to their dashboard, so they can see your week before the session. That client account is separate from a personal Mendly account.
If you use the personal app on your own, Mendly Plus can make a one-page summary of your check-ins to bring to a therapist or doctor.
No. A personal account is never visible to a therapist. If your therapist uses Mendly, they invite you to a separate client account for the check-ins they set up.
No. Mendly is a general wellness app. It does not diagnose or treat anything, and two things happening on the same days may have nothing to do with each other. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in the United States.
