grace is a small, independent app for tracking eczema day by day — made because nothing else felt right. this is the story behind it.
eczema isn't just an itch — it's an exhausting, relentless thing that follows you around. flares come from nowhere, the products that worked last winter stop working in spring, and trying to remember which steroid you used three weeks ago is impossible without a paper trail.
most tracking apps were built like medical software: cold, intimidating, and full of fields you don't need. the rest were built like wellness apps: cute, but with no real understanding of what eczema actually requires. grace was built somewhere in between — calm enough to use on a bad day, useful enough to take to a dermatologist appointment.
nothing about living with eczema is gentle. the app shouldn't add to that. no streaks-shaming, no aggressive nudges.
your skin, your history, your photos. exportable, deletable, and never sold. ever.
built so you can show up to an appointment with a clear, printable summary of what's actually been going on.
features come from people who actually have eczema. testimonials and feedback drive what gets built next.
grace is built and maintained by one person, with help from the eczema community that uses it. it's not a startup, it's not venture-backed, and there's no plan for it to be. the goal is to keep the app free and useful for as long as possible — donations and word of mouth are what keep it going.
every donation made through grace contributes 10% to Eczema UK — a charity that supports research, advocacy, and the people who need it most.
the best ways to help: share your story so others know they're not alone, support the app if you can, and tell your dermatologist about it. that's it — no newsletters to clutter your inbox.
grace is a self-management tool, not a medical device. it is not a substitute for advice or treatment from a qualified dermatologist or gp. always speak to your care team about changes to your skin or treatment.
