How it works

01 📋

Check in daily

Takes 60 seconds. Log your mood, sleep, energy, anxiety, and how you're feeling. SwingWatch handles the rest.

02 🌡️

We watch the weather

Your local weather is automatically tracked hourly — temperature swings, pressure drops, wind, humidity, daylight hours. Including the pressure changes your body responds to before the weather visibly shifts.

03 🔍

Learn your patterns

After 30 days SwingWatch starts finding YOUR personal warning signs — the sleep changes, anxiety spikes, and weather patterns that precede YOUR episodes. Not population averages. Your patterns.

04 🔔

Get ahead of episodes

Early warning alerts before you hit the wall. 7-day risk forecast based on incoming weather and your personal triggers. The more you track, the more accurate it gets.

Everything you need

🧠

Research-backed

Default risk weights from 13 peer-reviewed studies covering 20,000+ participants. After 90 days SwingWatch drops the population averages and learns YOUR specific patterns, triggers, and warning signs.

🌦

7-day risk forecast

See your manic and depressive risk trajectory for the next week based on incoming weather, your personal trigger patterns, and mood trajectory. Know what's coming before you feel it.

💊

Flex-dose protocols

Build your tiered medication system — baseline, elevated, and crisis protocols. Activate a protocol and SwingWatch automatically updates your schedule, logs the change, and monitors your response. No other app understands that your medication isn't static.

📊

Deep symptom tracking

Mood, sleep, energy, anxiety, irritability, racing thoughts, agitation, mental clarity, and paranoia — all tracked with clinical precision. Log up to 4 check-ins per day to capture intraday shifts, not just daily averages.

📋

Clinical PDF reports

Generate a clinical summary for your psychiatrist including mood charts, medication timeline, dose change history, adherence percentages, paranoia index, and medication response analysis. Hand your new psychiatrist everything they need in one document.

🔍

Learns your warning signs

SwingWatch detects YOUR personal prodromes — the sleep changes, anxiety spikes, and weather patterns that precede YOUR episodes specifically. Not what affects most people. What affects you.

🌍

Global mood research

Anonymously contribute to the world's first weather-correlated bipolar mood dataset. Drug class effectiveness, seasonal patterns, weather triggers — all anonymized, all advancing real research.

📱

Works everywhere

Installs as an app on any phone or desktop. No app store needed. Your data syncs across all your devices automatically.

Your medication isn't one-size-fits-all.
Neither is SwingWatch.

Most bipolar medication regimens aren't static — they respond to how you're doing. SwingWatch is the only app that understands this.

Build your personal protocol:

  • Baseline — your everyday regimen
  • Elevated — what you take when you feel it coming
  • Crisis — your rescue medications

Activate a protocol with one tap. SwingWatch logs the change, updates your reminders, monitors your response, and tells you if it's working.

When your psychiatrist asks what you've tried — you'll have the data.

Built by someone who needed it

I've lived with bipolar I my whole life — I just didn't get diagnosed until I was 25. For years I was caught off guard by episodes, and honestly I didn't always want to stop them coming. Mania felt like a superpower.

In 2022 I hit crisis mode. Paranoia episodes bad enough that I ended up inpatient and spent a couple weeks at my dad's recovering. It had happened before, but this time something clicked.

I started paying closer attention. It was always February through May — every time, as the seasons changed. The weather seemed to be affecting my mood in ways I couldn't ignore. Cold snaps, pressure drops, the days getting longer. I wanted to know if it was actually trackable. Predictable. If I could see it coming before it hit.

So I built SwingWatch.

Each year since has been better than the last. Better medication adherence, better pattern recognition, fewer bad days. Last spring I had one scary manic day. One. That's progress 11 years in the making.

What started as weather and mood tracking has grown into something I didn't expect — medication protocols, anxiety tracking, paranoia scoring, clinical PDF reports, pattern detection that learns YOUR warning signs specifically. Every feature exists because I needed it, or because someone like me would.

SwingWatch is free during beta. Early users keep free access forever.

Not another mood diary

Most mood trackers are just journals. SwingWatch's risk engine is built from the ground up on peer-reviewed research — temperature effects, barometric pressure, photoperiod change rates, sleep prodromes, seasonal multipliers, anxiety as a manic prodrome, paranoia index with insight scoring, barometric pressure lead indicators, and medication response correlation — all derived from published studies.

SwingWatch is a mood tracking tool, not a medical device. It does not provide medical advice or replace professional care.
