Duskwatch
The dementia behaviour journal your neurologist keeps asking you to keep
Capture an episode in about 30 seconds — what happened right before, the behaviour, what you tried, whether it helped — then watch the sundowning window appear in a time-of-day heatmap and walk into the appointment with a report. Free, offline, no account.

What you can do in Duskwatch on the web
30-second episode capture
A four-step, tap-only flow: trigger, behaviour and intensity, what you tried, and the outcome — with the same trigger-behaviour-response structure clinicians use.
Time-of-day × day-of-week heatmap
Eight three-hour blocks across seven weekdays over 30, 60 or 90 days, so the 4:30-to-7:00 cluster stops being a feeling and becomes a grid you can tap into.
Trigger breakdown
All ten antecedents — noise, hunger, visitors, transitions, bathing, questions, TV, fatigue, pain, nothing obvious — counted and optionally weighted by severity.
Your responses, ranked
Your own library of calming responses with a helped / no change / worse tally per response, so the next episode starts from what you wrote down rather than memory.
Medication timeline
Every start, stop and dose change plotted against twelve weeks of episode counts, with 28-days-before and 28-days-after totals for each change.
