Finally.
The app that helps you say GoutBye!
We know firsthand how hard is to manage gout and its flares. We've been there and have suffered the same pain. Gout management is a marathon, not a sprint. And while medication can bring some temporary relief, only a fundamental change in your habits can contribute to a healthier and flares-free life.
This is where we step in. By using research backed information, integrated AI and gamification we help you keep an eye on your gouty arthritis and develop positive long-term habits with this simple game-like app. That's it!
The app is available to limited audience, and we regularly give access to more early adopters. Join our waitlist to get an invite.

The Concept
One - Stop - Shop
We have analyzed research papers, articles, food recipes, best practices, and sport advices through countless hours of reading and consulting with medical professionals. And we pin-pointed several crucial areas to help gouty arthritis patients like you understand better: food, hydration, medication, habits, knowledge eliminating the need to juggle several apps for achieving simple tasks.
Like a game
Over time we realized that gout managing must not be boring and cringy. Just like language and other long time taking apps, we tested and decided to wrap everything around a nice, funny and encouraging mascot - Footsy. Thus, a serious condition management can happen hand to hand with a friend, that amuses you and push you through the habit building fatigue!
AI powered
Sounds like a clichè. But it's not. Especially when your experience needs to be personally tailored: the food in your fridge, providing personal advises, or quickly evaluating if a meal can trigger a gout flare. And AI is not scary, when is wrapped as a passive, privacy wise tool.
It's a marathon
Gout beating is a slow run - months, years. And discipline is the key. Footsy is here to amuse you, together with a system of streaks and perks that unlock benefits to keep you in the play daily for a long time.
Research together
GoutBye is an individual app, but it is also a community. Together we can contribute by conducting global and unparallelled research over gout, the related diseases to the condition, nutrition, etc. Best part - you can even earn an extra income by becoming a long-term remote trial participant*!

About Us
GoutBye Team and Story
This is personal statement from me, Martin Tomov - the lead developer and marketer of the GoutBye app and the owner of the company and team behind the app - ITWS EOOD.
GoutBye was not built for a day. It is a long journey that started in 2015 when I suffered a painful gouty arthritis attack. This was something I have never experienced before and I remember clearly this and all other gout flares incapacitating me and filling my life with pulsating long hours of pain.
Back then in time I started immediately to research what were the causes, what is this condition, why I have it. It turned out I have it in my family, and the life of a programmer did contribute to the condition.
I searched everywhere for complete and useful information or solution to manage my gout but all I got was some random advice from my doctor and a perscribed medication - the well known allo. I was not happy and this provoked me to search in depth for causes, treatment and routine change and to build a personal database with useful info.
After years of research with my team and a few design attempts, in 2019 I came with the first concept of the app, tested it with a few medical professionals and based it on scientific research data. I didn't want to have boring, gray app that I will need to use daily, and I needed a gentle reminder to keep my routines, so I came with the idea of Gouty mascot - the smiling left foot.
With the advance of the hybrid technologies the next few years, I laid down the foundation, and have built the prototype of the app, which I am currently refining. And although the challenge to make something really working is great, I was able to be gout flares free without allopurinol for more than 4 years now.
I know how individual is each one path. I know this app will not work for anybody, but yet will be beneficial for improved lifestyle.
So I have threw everything I know about apps, user experience, gamification, AI (yes, there is a very cool AI module in the app), security, and data privacy.
During the development I succeed to collect large amounts of correlated data and then the idea for GoutBye Research Program arised - to use the app to conduct global research waves and push gout research.
For now, however, me and my team are focused on releasing the first version of the app in early 2025 and then we will unfold all exciting options so we can all say together GoutBye!.
So far, the app is only accessible to selected group of people. looking to improve their condition. If you think the idea is good - join the waitlist and I will personally reach out to discuss next step and let you know if you're available for pre-release beta test.
Thank you with all my heart,
Martin Tomov
