For people living with chronic pain

You don't need to be better today. You just need to be understood.

Devagar means slowly. It is a free, quiet app for people whose pain has outlasted the explanations — somewhere to put the day in twenty seconds, decide what you can afford to do, and walk into a rushed appointment with the last thirty days already written down.

No card, no ads. Only your email and name reach the server — everything you write stays on your device.

A 20-second check-in

Three dials — pain, mood, what your body let you do. No forms, no medical jargon, no streaks to keep. Some days you'll skip it, and nothing scolds you.

Most people are sent home to manage alone after a short primary-care visit. This is the record nobody else is keeping for you.

An energy budget, not a to-do list

Each day you get a small handful of petals, worked out from how you actually feel. Spend them on a door 'inward' (rest, breathing) or a door 'outward' (a message, a short walk).

Pacing is the thing pain clinics teach — and only about one in a hundred people here ever reaches one.

Small wins worth keeping

A place for tiny, non-medical moments: you cooked, you answered a friend, you sat in the sun. Dignity counted in small things, not in progress bars.

Depression travels with persistent pain. Evidence of good days helps on the days you can't remember any.

Ten minutes with the doctor, already prepared

One tap turns the last 30 days into a clean summary: average pain, the worst days, medication, what it cost you out of pocket — plus your questions sorted most urgent first, per doctor. Copy it, share it or print it.

Appointments are short and often with someone new. Arriving with the summary changes what fits into those minutes.

Why this exists

About a third of adults in Portugal live with chronic pain. Only around one percent of them ever get specialised follow-up, many have no assigned family doctor at all, and the medicines that help are only partly covered. So most people self-manage — alone, tired, and without a record of their own story.

Devagar doesn't pretend to fix that system. It gives you the two things the system keeps failing to hand over: continuity, and something to show the next doctor.

This app is a bridge, not a home. Use it for weeks, months, or however long you need — and then leave it behind.

Start with today

Three dials, one honest answer. Tomorrow you'll already have something you didn't have before.
