A wiki for your body
Your body, in your own words.
Every person is a quiet archive of patterns — things that happen again and again, that no watch or ring will ever see. DB.Life is where you write them down, so they stop being “I always feel this way when I…” and start being knowledge.
Free for one person, forever. No card. No watch required.

The primitive · Pattern
A watch can't see these. But you can.
Every person has observations no device will ever capture. A Pattern is a page in your body's wiki — a trigger, a response, and every time you've noticed the two together. The more you add, the more it becomes a thing you know, not a thing you guess.

What makes it different
Built for depth. Not dashboards.
Most health apps give you a number and a graph. DB.Life gives you a wiki that grows richer every time you notice something about your body.
Pattern wiki
Every pattern is a living page — a trigger, a response, and every time you noticed the two together. The more you add, the sharper it gets.
- Trigger + response pairing with free-text notes
- Severity tracking on a 1–10 scale per observation
- Automatic frequency and consistency scoring
- Tags, body-area mapping, and full-text search
Family graph
See which patterns echo across generations. Private by default — every match requires explicit, per-person consent.
- Three-generation graph with unlimited members
- Cross-generation pattern matching with confidence %
- Per-pattern, per-person visibility controls
- Works even if family members use different devices
Legacy transfer
Health outlives us. Set rules for what happens to your archive when you're gone, so the next generation inherits knowledge, not guesswork.
- Posthumous share rules: seal, share, or delete
- Next-of-host confirmation before any transfer
- Editable anytime — your rules, your timeline
- Granular: per-pattern or blanket rules
How we compare
Different tool, different job.
We don't replace your watch. We capture what it can't see.

How it works
Three verbs. That's it.
01
Notice.
You've been doing this your whole life. Now there's somewhere to put it. One tap to log that coffee gave you the urge again, or that the knee's talking.
02
Name.
Give the pattern a page — a short title, a trigger, a response, a note. Observations attach to the page every time it happens, and the page gets smarter.
03
Share — or don't.
Keep it to yourself. Share with your partner. Pass it down. Or set a legacy rule: “if I pass, let my family see this one.” Private by default, always.
From real archives
What people actually say.
“I logged 'coffee → bathroom' as a joke. Two years later, my daughter noticed the same thing. That's when I understood what this app is for.”
Mei L.
Kuala Lumpur
“My doctor asked me when the knee pain started. Instead of 'I dunno, a while?' I opened DB.Life and said 'July 2024, humid days, left knee, 19 observations.' She stared at me.”
James K.
Portland, OR
“After Dad passed, his legacy rules unlocked three patterns for me. One of them — a food sensitivity — explained something I'd been ignoring for a decade.”
Priya R.
London
Family
A wiki kept for the family.
Some patterns run in the blood. DB.Life's family graph lets you see — with permission — which of your observations match those of the people who came before you, or the ones coming after.
And because health outlives us, you decide what happens to your patterns when you're gone. Keep them sealed. Or hand the key to a grandchild who might have the same body you did.

Explicit share, always
