Bearable gives you a flexible system for tracking many conditions. Mirae uses IBD-specific context to help move from a symptom change to the next informed care step.
The choice is self-designed tracking versus IBD navigation.

Where Mirae fits
Mirae starts with IBD. It understands the relevance of urgency, blood, mucus, bowel patterns, fatigue, medicines, CRP, faecal/fecal calprotectin and questions for gastroenterology care.
Mirae is built to map your fastest way to remission. It aims to reduce time lost by helping you capture what is changing, bring daily and medical context together, see patterns and ask better questions about what comes next.
You can describe a messy day in conversation instead of first designing categories. Mirae can combine what you record with available connected health records and wearable data to build a fuller view of your IBD.
Mirae is free. Sharing stays under your control; nothing goes to a clinician unless you choose to share it.
Mirae's Pre-Visit feature, in the Mirae app or on the web, creates a focused appointment agenda and health summary that you can review, save as a PDF and share with your clinician.
Where Bearable fits
Bearable is stronger when you want extensive control over what gets tracked. Its free app includes unlimited custom symptoms, moods and other health metrics, weekly reports and a customisable graph.
Premium adds correlation reports, unrestricted historical data, unlimited goals and custom experiments. Apple Health, Google Fit and a direct Fitbit integration can supply additional measurements.
That breadth suits several conditions or a highly personal tracking system. It also means deciding what to configure and how to translate the output into an IBD conversation.
Do not confuse correlation with cause
Both apps can put two changes beside each other. Neither can prove that food, sleep, stress or a medicine caused inflammation or a flare.
Bearable's correlations are exploratory. Mirae's patterns are also informational. Clinical interpretation may still require tests and individual assessment. Our food and IBD diary guide explains how to keep that kind of tracking narrow and useful.
Price
Mirae has no paid plan, trial period or card requirement.
Bearable's core tracker is free. Its official site currently lists Premium at US$6.99 per month or US$34.99 per year, with annual-plan discounts and local prices varying. Check the current store terms before subscribing.
Which should you choose?
Choose Bearable for maximum customisation across health conditions and longer-term self-designed analysis.
Choose Mirae when IBD is the central problem and you want an everyday guide that helps you understand change, connect your health context and see patterns on the way towards remission.

Disclosure
Mirae Health publishes this comparison and makes Mirae. Bearable did not contribute. This is a commercial product comparison, not an independent or clinical review.
Features, prices and availability were checked on 18 August 2026 and can change. Neither app can diagnose a flare or tell you to change treatment. Rapidly worsening symptoms and medication questions need an appropriate medical professional rather than more tracking.
