## What is Fovcus?

Fovcus is a personal vision journal for people living with macular degeneration and other central vision conditions.

Check your vision in under a minute with the Amsler Grid — the same simple test used by eye specialists worldwide — and record exactly what you see.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no tracking
• Everything stays on your device — no internet needed

RECORD WHAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE
• Draw wavy, blurry or missing areas with your finger
• Bend grid lines to where they really appear to you
• The Black Hole tool shows areas of central vision loss
• Your previous session appears as a faint ghost overlay, so changes jump out

TRACK BOTH EYES OVER TIME
• Separate history for left and right eye
• "Last check" cue, plus optional daily, weekly or monthly reminders — free
• Large text, big buttons, brightness and invert options built for low vision
• Full VoiceOver support

FOVCUS PRO — PAY ONCE, YOURS FOREVER
• Unlimited session history
• Compare any two sessions side by side
• Progress charts for each eye
• Doctor-ready PDF reports — both eyes, scores and trends — to email or hand to your specialist

Fovcus is a personal journal, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or advise on any condition. Always consult your ophthalmologist or retinal specialist, and contact them immediately if you notice sudden changes.

This update focuses on reliability:

• Pro status is now cached on-device, so paying users keep full access even offline or if the App Store is briefly unreachable
• Backup imports are more thoroughly validated, preventing malformed files from causing display issues
• Session saves are now more resilient to interruptions, reducing the chance of lost entries

Thank you for using Fovcus.
