Is Ayuvo a MyChart alternative?
Not a replacement. MyChart connects you to your provider. Ayuvo is a private place to keep your own copies of records and track daily health. Many people can use both.
Compare
MyChart and Ayuvo: different jobs.
MyChart is a patient portal licensed from Epic and provided by your health system. Ayuvo is not a portal and cannot sign in to one. It is a private place on your phone to keep your own copies of reports, track medications, and log food and workouts next to them.

Where MyChart is stronger
Start here if these matter most to you.
Where Ayuvo is different
- Your own copy, on your own phone. Save reports from any portal or provider and keep them in one searchable timeline.
- Ayuvo holds whatever you add, whichever provider it came from, with values and highlights read on the phone.
- Medication reminders, meals, workouts and your Apple Health or Health Connect data sit next to your records.
- No account, no ads and no analytics, and the code is open source.
Where Ayuvo is limited
What Ayuvo does not do, so you can decide with the full picture.
- Ayuvo cannot sign in to MyChart or any portal, book care or message a clinician.
- It only holds what you add, so it is not your provider's official record.
- Your data lives on your phone. Records and Health data are not in cloud backups, so keep an Export All Data file if you would miss them.
- AI on your own key is billed by the provider you chose, and on-device models need a one-time download and a phone with enough memory.
- Ayuvo is a young project with no independent reviews yet. Its code is open, so you can check what it does.
- Ayuvo is not on the App Store or Google Play yet, so it is listed as coming soon. You can build it from source today.
