## What is KidneyKind?

Built by someone on PD, for everyone living with kidney disease.

Living with kidney disease means keeping track of more than most people realize — your dialysis sessions, daily vitals, quarterly labs, a fistful of medications, a care team scattered across different offices, and if you're waiting on a transplant, an evaluation checklist with more moving parts than anyone should have to hold in their head.
KidneyKind puts it all in one place, built specifically for how dialysis patients actually live. Not a generic health app with a kidney module bolted on — every feature here exists because someone on dialysis needed it.

WHAT YOU CAN TRACK          
  
• Dialysis sessions — PD manual exchanges, PD cycler, home hemodialysis, and clinic HD. Log what you need in seconds, not minutes.             
• Daily vitals — blood pressure, weight, fluid intake, temperature, symptoms. Trend charts over time so you can spot patterns.
• Labs — a complete panel tracked over time with reference ranges flagged so you know what's in target 
• Medications — dose schedules, reminders, refill tracking. 
• Fluid intake — one-tap logging from the Home dashboard or your Apple Watch complication.
• Appointments — doctor visits, lab draws, treatment schedule. Mirrors to your iOS Calendar if you want. 
• Care team — nephrologist, PD nurse, dietitian, transplant coordinator. Tap to call, email, or get directions. 
• Transplant journey — evaluation checklist, listing status, PRA history, coordinator contact. The dashboard you wish your transplant center had given you.

MADE FOR REAL LIFE      
  • Apple Watch complication for logging fluid in one tap from your wrist.                                                                                                                               
  • Home Screen widgets show your next dose, next appointment, or today's fluid.                                                                                                                                           
  • Caregiver snapshot PDF — share a one-page health update with family or your doctor between visits.  
  • Visit Summary PDF — a comprehensive printable report with charts for your nephrology appointments.
  • Export all your data any time as a JSON file. Your record, your file.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.33.2 — 2026-08-06

This update fixes a display issue in the Apple Health section of Settings, where the list of synced data types showed placeholder text instead of clear descriptions. The data-type list now reads correctly.

Also adds the Japanese translation for the account setup screen.

Thank you for using KidneyKind.

### 1.33.1 — 2026-06-03

This update corrects a CloudKit sync issue affecting some users. If your data on one device wasn't appearing on another in recent weeks, uninstalling and reinstalling KidneyKind will get you back to working sync, and new records will propagate normally from then on. Apple Watch users — the fix in this release also resolves a case where the watch could display stale settings (like fluid limit) after recent reinstall. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Also adds an End Date field to the medication editor for time-limited courses like antibiotics and steroid tapers — useful when you want to track that a medication has a defined stop date.

Japanese translation included for the new field.

### 1.33.0 — 2026-05-26

A big update for our Japanese users.

- Full Japanese interface across every screen, picker, and disclaimer
- All four educational guides translated: 透析の基本, 水分管理, 検査結果の理解, 移植プロセス
- Japan-specific transplant workup with national programs (JOT waitlist, 身体障害者手帳, 高額療養費, 特定疾病)
- Japan kidney organizations (日本腎臓協会, 全国腎臓病協議会, 日本腎臓財団, 日本透析医学会, 日本臓器移植ネットワーク) in the Resources tab
- Japanese clinical terminology throughout — PD/HD phases, lab names, symptom names, the legal disclaimer including a PMDA / 薬機法 regulatory addendum for the Japan region
- Language and region are now independent — pick Japanese language with any region and the UI stays consistent

### 1.32.1 — 2026-05-25

This update focuses on accessibility and convenience.

- Redeem a code: if you have an App Store offer or promo code, you can now redeem it right inside KidneyKind.
- Dark Mode: refined teal and coral colors for better contrast in both Light and Dark.
- Haptic confirmation: a gentle buzz when you save a dialysis session, lab result, or medication.
- VoiceOver: clearer spoken labels on Home screen controls.

### 1.32.0 — 2026-05-11

KidneyKind is now available in Japan, with Japan-aware content end to end.

The Foundations directory adds Japan Kidney Association (JKA), Zenjinkyo (the patient-led national federation), Japanese Kidney Foundation, Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy (JSDT), and Japan Organ Transplant Network (JOTNW).

The kidney health news feed now pulls Japanese-language articles from Japanese outlets (NHK, Asahi, Yomiuri, Mainichi, Nikkei, and others) using kanji-targeted search.

The transplant journey reflects Japan's pathway. Japanese patients see the JOT (Japan Organ Transplant Network) listing system, the family-consent meeting (kazoku setsumei) that's central to Japan's living-donor-dominant transplant landscape, and the public-coverage entitlement steps including the Physical Disability Certificate (身体障害者手帳), High-Cost Medical Expense Benefit (高額療養費), and Specific Disease (特定疾病) designation.

Lab units default to mg/dL for Japanese patients, matching JSDT and Japanese clinic reporting conventions.

The legal disclaimer addendum names the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) and clarifies KidneyKind as a personal record-keeping tool, not a regulated medical device.

This release ships the Japan App Store availability with English UI. Full Japanese UI localization is planned for the next major release.
