The health companion that knows your story.
Living with a chronic condition means retelling your history at every appointment. Rowan listens to how your day went and keeps the record for you. When it's time to see your doctor, it hands you a brief.
Free to download. No account, no ads.
-
A conversation
Say how the day went, in ordinary words.
-
A log entry
The symptom, how bad it was, and what you think set it off.
-
A visit brief
Your last thirty days, your medication list, and the questions worth asking.
You talk. Rowan keeps the record.
No forms to fill in. Rowan turns what you say into an entry you can look back on and bring to your next appointment.
-
Tell Rowan what you live with
Add your conditions, medications, and allergies. Mark each condition as diagnosed or suspected, and change it any time.
-
Talk about your day in plain words
"Knee was rough after the long drive, maybe a 7." That's enough for Rowan to log the symptom, the severity, and the drive.
-
Walk into your appointment prepared
Before a visit, Rowan pulls your last thirty days into one brief for your doctor.
Built for the long middle of an illness.
The years after the diagnosis, when the details start to blur between appointments.
Log it in a sentence
Tell Rowan about your day the way you'd tell a friend. It writes the symptom entry for you.
The visit brief
The page you hand your doctor, put together from your own entries.
Trends you can raise
Streaks, trend lines, and the patterns Rowan notices over the weeks, ready to bring up at your next appointment.
Medication reminders
Reminders on the schedule you set, with one tap to mark a dose taken.
Safety checks on every message
If a message looks like a medical emergency, Rowan stops and points you to emergency care. The checks can't be switched off.

The notes Rowan keeps about you sit in a plain list, and you can remove any of them. Export or delete your data, on your phone and on our server.
Warm, and quiet about it.
Soft colors and plain words. Rowan is designed to be opened on a bad day.
Fifteen minutes is not long enough to remember a month.
The appointment is short, and it may fall on one of your harder days. The brief has the month written down before you walk in.
- What changed. How often each symptom came up and how rough it was, counted from your own entries.
- Your medication list. Exactly as you entered it, with your own notes.
- Questions to ask. Phrased so they're easy to say out loud.
- Yours to share. Export it, or just hold up your phone.
In an emergency, don't type — call 911.
Rowan is not an emergency service. Your phone screens every message for signs of a medical emergency the moment you send it, and an independent check on our server reads everything else before Rowan answers. If something looks urgent, Rowan stops and points you to emergency care. That help is never metered and never paywalled. No check replaces calling for help, so never delay care because of something in this app.
What Rowan does, and what it doesn't.
Rowan is an AI companion — not a doctor, nurse, or licensed clinician, and not a medical device. It keeps the record. Diagnosis and treatment stay with your care team.
Rowan does
- Help you organize, track, and understand your health information
- Turn everyday sentences into a symptom log
- Talk it through with you — ask what changed this month, what you logged, or what's worth raising
- Show you patterns over time — a pattern, not a diagnosis — and help you describe them
- Prepare better questions for your doctor
- Remind you about medications you entered, on the schedule you set
- Point you toward care — and toward emergency help when it matters
Rowan does not
- Diagnose you, or guess what your symptoms mean
- Tell you to start, stop, change, or skip any medication or dose
- Interpret labs or vitals, or call any result "abnormal"
- Treat, cure, or prevent anything — and it isn't a medical device
- Replace your doctor, nurse, pharmacist, or therapist
- Provide therapy or counseling, or treat low mood as something to fix
- Pretend to be a clinician, or hide that it's an AI
No account. No ads. No trackers.
Here's where your health data goes, including the parts that leave your phone.
- No sign-up. No name, email, or password. Your install is identified by a random device ID.
- No ad or analytics software touches your health content, and we never sell or share it.
- Your messages go to an AI provider so Rowan can reply. That's Anthropic, or OpenAI when Anthropic is unavailable. Either one can receive your message and health context. The independent safety check has its own fallback to OpenAI, which receives the recent transcript. Your log is stored on our server so it carries over between sessions.
- The notes stay on your phone. What Rowan remembers about you is never filed on our server — though your phone sends those notes with each message, so they reach the AI provider like the rest of your context.
- Delete means delete. One tap erases what Rowan keeps on your phone and purges your conversations, symptom logs, safety events, and usage counters from our server. You get a receipt of what was removed.
FAQ
Can Rowan tell me what's wrong with me?
No, and it's built not to. Rowan doesn't diagnose, doesn't offer a differential, and won't guess at what your symptoms mean. It's for people who already have a diagnosis and are living with it — organizing what happens day to day so your care team has better information to work with. That goes for the trends too: what Rowan shows you there is a pattern, not a diagnosis, and what a pattern means is your doctor's call.
Is Rowan a medical device?
No. Rowan is a general-wellness app that helps you organize, track, and understand your own health information. It doesn't diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and it isn't a substitute for professional care. Always check with a qualified healthcare professional before making medical decisions.
Will it tell me to change my medication?
Never. Rowan gives no dosage guidance of any kind — it will not tell you to start, stop, change, or skip anything. It tracks the medications you entered and reminds you on the schedule you set. If something seems worth raising, it will say it's worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist, and help you describe it.
Am I talking to a real person?
No. Rowan is an AI companion, and it says so — there's a persistent indicator in the chat reading "AI companion · not a clinician," Rowan says what it is at the start of a conversation, and it answers plainly every time you ask. It has no credentials and doesn't play a doctor.
Where does my data actually go?
Your messages, and a profile summary of your conditions, medications, allergies, and recent symptoms, are sent to our backend and on to an AI provider so Rowan can reply. We use Anthropic (Claude) as the primary provider, with OpenAI as failover. Failover is on by default and automatic: if Anthropic is unavailable, the same message and the same profile payload go to OpenAI instead, so OpenAI can receive your health context on any turn. OpenAI can be reached by a second route as well — the independent safety check runs on its own separate model, and it has its own failover, which sends the recent transcript to OpenAI. Under both providers' commercial API terms as they stand today, your content is not used to train their models. Those are their terms rather than ours, and we will update this page if they change. Your conversations and logs are also stored on our own server, keyed only to a random device ID — never your name. The notes Rowan keeps about you are stored only on your phone — but your phone sends them along with each message, so they reach the AI provider too. Full details, including how long each thing is kept, are in the privacy policy.
Is Rowan HIPAA-compliant?
No. HIPAA applies to healthcare providers, health plans, and their business associates. Rowan is a consumer wellness app, not a covered entity, so HIPAA doesn't apply to it. Here's what we do: no account, no ads, no analytics on your health content, encryption in transit, defined retention windows, and a delete that really deletes.
Does it read my Apple Health data?
No. Everything Rowan knows is something you told it, in your own words — there's no passive tracking and no device to pair.
What does it cost?
Tracking your conditions and medications, logging how a day went, your trends, the visit brief, and reminders are all part of Rowan at no cost. Conversation on the free plan is capped at 5 messages a day. There is one optional subscription, Rowan Plus, which lifts that cap and answers with a more capable model — the price and renewal terms are shown in the App Store before you buy, and billing is handled by Apple. Safety and emergency features are never behind a payment.
When can I use it?
Now — Rowan is on the App Store for iPhone, running iOS 16.2 or later. There's no Android version yet.
Who is Rowan for?
Adults 18 and over who are managing one or more diagnosed chronic conditions — migraine, thyroid disease, POTS, IBD and the like — and are tired of rebuilding their own history before every appointment.
Stop starting from scratch at every appointment.
