In the dark
Gout always seems to come out of nowhere.
It wakes you at 2am, one joint on fire, no idea why this time. You can’t remember what set off the last one. You can’t tell if your numbers are moving. So you wait, and hope the next one holds off.
It was never a willpower problem
Gout is largely genetic: around 60% of your uric acid level is set by your genes, not by what you ate last night.
That’s from Flarebreak’s built-in lessons, based on published clinical guidelines. You can manage gout, whatever your genes handed you.
Remission is real. Now it’s a journey you can follow.
In 2024, gout experts from around the world came together to define what gout remission means. The group is called G-CAN, the Gout, Hyperuricemia and Crystal-Associated Disease Network. Their definition is three criteria, all true at once:
No flares for 12 months in a row
Uric acid below 6.0 mg/dL for 12 months
Zero tophi no crystal lumps under the skin
The maker of Flarebreak participated in those working sessions, and the Remission Journey is built on those decisions. Every criterion is counted from what you already log. No extra work, just the truth about where you stand.

See the pattern
Catch the trigger you keep forgetting.
Log a flare while it’s happening: the dates, the exact joint on a body diagram, how bad it hurts, what you think set it off. After a few months, the connections you couldn’t hold in your head are sitting on a chart.
The six triggers Flarebreak helps you spot.
- A 36-point body diagram to pinpoint the exact joint
- Pain, symptoms, triggers, and notes in one log
- Add photos and voice memos to document the swelling (Premium)
The goal line
Watch your uric acid bend toward goal.
- mg/dL or µmol/L, from home tests or clinic results
- Insights: your average and how often you’re at goal
- A clean graph you can hand straight to your doctor

When it hits
A calm plan for when it’s 2am and you’re on fire.

Questions
Common questions about Flarebreak
Flarebreak is a mobile app for people living with gout. You can track your flares, log your uric acid and weight, ask the built-in Coach questions in plain language, and follow your progress toward remission.
In 2024, gout experts from around the world (the Gout, Hyperuricemia and Crystal-Associated Disease Network, G-CAN) reached a consensus definition of gout remission: no flares for 12 months, uric acid below 6.0 mg/dL for 12 months, and zero tophi, all three at once. Flarebreak’s Remission Journey tracks all three from what you log.
Tracking your flares, uric acid, weight, and tophi is free, along with the Flare Care Plan and your first Coach questions and lessons. An optional Premium tier unlocks the full 34-lesson course, unlimited Coach questions, the Remission Journey status, and the Appointment Diary. Flarebreak is launching soon for iOS and Android; join the waitlist to be first to know when it goes live.
Two ways. The Coach answers your questions in plain language and My Gout Lessons explains how gout works across 34 short lessons, while the flares and uric acid you log turn into personal patterns you can see, so you walk into appointments ready to talk about them.
Your flares (dates, the exact joint, pain, symptoms, and triggers), your uric acid, your weight, and your tophi count, all on simple graphs. The Appointment Diary keeps your notes and questions ready for your next visit, and the Remission Journey tracks your progress toward remission.
No. Flarebreak offers educational content and tracking tools to support you and your care team. It is not a substitute for advice from your own doctor, and you should always follow your doctor’s guidance.
