Health Flare is officially live on both the App Store and Google Play. That is not a beta, not a waitlist, not a "coming soon." Anyone with a smartphone can download it today, for free, and start tracking a chronic condition with the kind of privacy that used to mean keeping a paper notebook in a drawer.
Why this matters
Chronic illness does not pause for a product roadmap. If you are managing a child's complex condition, or your own, you are already tracking something, whether it is a notes app, a spreadsheet, or your own memory on a day when memory is the least reliable thing you have. Health Flare exists so that tracking can be genuinely useful, without asking you to trade your family's health data for the privilege.
That is the whole pitch: take control of a chronic illness, on your own terms, with the utmost privacy, using software that costs nothing and answers to no one but you. No subscription. No account. No cloud dashboard somewhere deciding what happens to your data. It runs on the phone already in your pocket.
Free and open source, not "free" with an asterisk
We wrote about this in more depth in "Why Health Flare is free, offline, and not for sale", but it bears repeating here at launch: "free" describes the license, not just the price. The source code is public. You do not have to trust our word for what the app does with your data, because you, or anyone else, can go read exactly what it does.
That distinction is most of the point. A privacy-first health app that cannot be independently verified is just a privacy-first health app making a promise. Health Flare's promise is checkable.
What the app stores themselves say about our data collection
Every app submitted to the App Store and Google Play has to fill out a privacy disclosure before it can be listed: Apple calls it the App Privacy label, Google calls it the Data safety section. These are not marketing copy; they are declarations made directly to the platform, and both platforms can and do enforce them against developers who get it wrong.
Look up Health Flare on either store and check those sections yourself. You will find the same thing we have been saying all along: no data collected, because there is no server for it to be collected on. That is not our claim to grade our own homework on. It is Apple's and Google's own disclosure process, applied to an app that genuinely has nothing to send them.
The fastest way to check is to open either store page and look under Privacy (App Store) or Data safety (Google Play) for yourself. That is the point: you should not have to take anyone's word for it, ours included.
