Who this is for
Anyone with food intolerances, skin flare-ups, migraines, or allergies trying to pin down a trigger by tracking reactions and what preceded them.
The moment this saves you
My stomach reacts and I have no idea why, because the culprit was something I ate six hours ago that I've completely forgotten, so I keep blaming the wrong food and the real one keeps getting me.
See it work
Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.
Logging a reaction. My stomach is really bloated and crampy right now, started maybe an hour ago. Trying to think what I had, lunch was a sandwich with that aged cheddar, and I had a latte mid-morning, dairy in both, which makes me suspicious because this keeps happening. I also was pretty stressed today, big deadline, so that might be part of it. Severity is moderate, like a 5. I want to start tracking the dairy thing properly.

The prompt behind this context
I'm going to log a physical reaction and what might have triggered it. Turn it into a dated trigger log with labeled lines: a bold "Trigger log, [today's date]" heading, then Reaction (what I'm feeling, severity /10 if given, when it started), Possible inputs beforehand (everything I ate, did, or felt that I mention as possibly relevant, listed neutrally), Suspected trigger noted (only if I name a suspicion, phrased as suspected not confirmed), and Following up (any next step I mention). Record only what I report. Do NOT diagnose or confirm causation. Don't invent inputs. Output only the log.
Make it your own. This is a starting point. Once it's in Contextli, tweak the instructions so the output comes out exactly how you like it.

Symptom Log
When the headache hits, describe it in plain words: when it started, how bad, what might have set it off. So when the doctor asks 'how often, what makes it worse?' you have real notes instead of a blank stare.
Food Log
Logging a meal shouldn't mean scrolling past forty wrong 'chicken bowl' entries until you give up. Just say what you ate, like you'd tell a friend, and get a clean, dated log grouped by meal. No database, no macros to type.
Pain Diary
Living with chronic pain, the flare-ups blur together and the doctor's questions catch you flat. When it hits, just describe it, where, how bad, what set it off. You build the record that turns 'it's always bad' into something a clinician can actually work with.
Questions people ask
Questions wellness ask about Trigger Log
How do I keep a health log without typing every day?
Speak your entry instead of typing it. The Trigger Log context accepts a spoken description of what you are tracking and formats it into a log entry with the date and relevant fields. You can log in under 30 seconds, hands-free, without opening a tracking app or typing a single character.
What should I include in a daily health log entry?
A useful entry includes the date and time, the specific what you are tracking you are tracking, and any relevant context such as what you were doing or how you were feeling. The Trigger Log context structures your spoken description to capture all of these automatically, so your log stays consistent even when you are rushing.
Can I share my health log with my doctor?
Yes. The log entry Contextli produces is plain text, so you can copy it into any app, email, or patient portal. Because entries are consistently structured with the same fields each time, a provider can read through multiple entries quickly. The raw recording and transcription stay on your device.
Is there a faster way to keep a health log than a traditional app?
Speaking is faster than tapping through form fields. The Trigger Log context accepts a 15 to 30 second voice description and produces a complete log entry with your what you are tracking filled in. Most people log more consistently when the barrier is 20 seconds of speaking rather than two minutes of tapping.
