Caregiver Ledger

The visit packet your parent's doctor wants.

Every feature, from the first launch.

No account, no login, no cloud. Everything runs on your device and works fully offline — nothing in this post is hidden behind a wall.

What Caregiver Ledger does

Caregiver Ledger is the offline, single-device journal for family caregivers managing an aging parent's meds, symptoms, and appointments — with no account, no cloud, and no subscription.

If you've ever stood in a doctor's office trying to remember which day mom's dizziness started, what dose of metoprolol she's actually been taking, or how many UTI episodes happened this fall — you know the gap. Medisafe wants $49.99 a year. CareZone vanished overnight in 2021. The other med trackers all want a cloud account, an email, and PHI on someone's server.

What Caregiver Ledger does:

— Med list with scan-the-label setup. Point your iPhone at the prescription bottle and VisionKit reads the drug name, strength, schedule, and prescriber. Pill reminders that work offline. — Symptom diary: tap a body region, choose a severity 0–5, add a one-line note. Track patterns over weeks. — Doctor-visit packet. One tap generates a printable PDF: current med list, last 30 days of symptoms, vitals, recent changes, and questions for today's visit. Print it at the hospital kiosk or AirDrop it to a sibling. — Multiple care recipients. One device, multiple loved ones — dad's ledger and grandma's ledger live side by side. — Stays on this phone. No iCloud sync, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Your parent's data never leaves the device.

For the 63 million Americans caring for an aging family member — the app that won't get acquired and shut down on you.

Why we built it

Family caregivers are forced into cloud-based pill apps that suddenly add subscriptions, vanish (CareZone), or sync sensitive health data — with no offline, single-device option that produces a printable visit summary the doctor actually wants.

What makes it different

Caregiver Ledger is the only caregiver journal that runs fully offline on one device, generates a printable PDF doctor-visit packet (current meds + last 30 days symptoms + vitals + questions) in one tap, and supports multiple care recipients without any cloud account — Medisafe gates the visit-summary PDF behind a $49…

Who it's for

Sandwich-generation caregivers, adult children of aging parents, and anyone keeping records for more than one person.

In one line: The visit packet your parent's doctor wants.
