Psoriasis tracker: built for months, not days

Psoriasis moves slowly and comes back for reasons that are rarely obvious. Moya keeps the record across months, so you can compare stretches rather than single days.

Quick answer

What is the best way to track psoriasis?

Record where it is and how it feels in your own words, plus sleep, stress and anything new, on the same few fields every day. Psoriasis changes over weeks rather than hours, so the useful comparison is month against month, not day against day, and that only works if the settled stretches are on record too.

The method

What to record, and what it is for

What to log

  • Which areas are involved today, and whether that has changed
  • How the skin feels in your own words, including soreness and itch
  • Sleep, stress, mood and energy
  • What you are already using, and the days you skip
  • Illness, infections and big life events, which often sit behind a flare
  • Any joint pain, stiffness or swelling, and where

What patterns are worth looking for

  • How long a flare typically lasts, and whether that is changing
  • Whether stretches of higher stress line up with flares, allowing for a lag
  • Seasonal swings, which are slow enough to be believable
  • Whether joint symptoms are appearing alongside skin ones

What to take to an appointment

  • Which areas are involved, and how that has changed over months
  • What you have already tried, named, and for how long
  • The functional cost: sleep, work, what you avoid wearing or doing
  • Any joint pain, stiffness or swelling, with when it started
  • Photographs from a bad stretch, and one from a settled one
In the app

Your entries, reflected back

Moya does not present charts for you to interpret. Every so often it gently reflects back what you have been logging, in plain sentences, for example:

“Your flare stretches have been shorter over the last two months than the two before.”

These are simply observations from your own entries, on your own terms. Moya is a wellness tool, not a medical device: it never diagnoses or gives medical advice, and a reflection is a conversation starter for you and your clinician, never a conclusion.

How Moya handles it

A photo diary that shows change

Skin changes slowly, and memory is unreliable. Progress photos stay organised and private, so you can compare honestly across weeks and months.

One short check-in a day

Under a minute, which is what makes logging a calm day realistic. The calm days are what the flare days get compared against.

Your entries do not leave your phone

Health notes are personal. Moya is built so the record stays yours, and there is no account for it to be attached to.

When to ask

Reasons people are advised to get it looked at

Tracking is not a substitute for being seen, and this is not a threshold you have to reach before you are allowed to ask.

If you are unsure, that is itself a good reason to ask. Moya records what you noticed; your clinician decides what it means.

Questions

Questions people ask

What can I track with Moya for psoriasis?

Quick daily check-ins cover your skin, sleep, mood, energy, stress and what you are already using. Everything is designed for seconds-a-day logging, so it survives a bad week rather than being abandoned in one.

Will Moya tell me what triggers my psoriasis?

No. Moya is a wellness tool, not a medical device. It reflects back what you choose to log, in plain language. Whether something is genuinely driving your flares is a clinical question, and one that self-observation alone cannot settle.

How long before tracking psoriasis shows me anything?

Longer than most people expect, because psoriasis moves in weeks. Two to three months of consistent notes, including the settled stretches, before a pattern is worth trusting.

Should I record joint symptoms too?

Yes, and it is one of the most useful things you can note. Joint pain, stiffness or swelling alongside psoriasis is worth raising with a clinician promptly, and a dated record of when it started makes that conversation much easier.

Is my skin data private?

Yes. Your entries and photos stay on your device. They are not uploaded to our servers or tied to an account, and you can export or delete everything at any time.

How much does Moya cost?

Downloading Moya is free. Premium features are offered as a subscription with a free trial, managed through your App Store account.
