When I was diagnosed with muscle tension dysphonia, I left the clinic with a sheet of exercises and a follow-up date weeks away.
At home I kept losing track. Did I do the humming today? Was my voice actually improving with the exercises I was doing? I searched for note apps, vocal related apps, habit trackers. None of them knew what I needed as someone with MTD.
I needed three things, and I couldn’t find them in one place.

A journal for how my voice felt
Mark where it’s tight on a simple body map: jaw, throat, neck, breath. Add a line or a quick voice memo. Your entries build a picture you can bring to your next appointment.
