Features
Read full description

A gentle record-keeping notebook for caring for an aging parent. Caring for an elderly parent often means scattered notes, a bulging medication book, and a stack of hospital receipts. Sobani brings it all into one quiet, dignified place — designed for people in their 40s and 50s who care for a parent. A friendly turtle mascot named Kameji watches over your records, reminding you that you don't have to carry it all alone. KEY FEATURES Hospital Visits Log doctor visits with one tap — clinic, department, symptoms, prescriptions, and the doctor's notes. Attach a photo of the prescription or chart. Schedule the next appointment so it doesn't slip your mind. Visit Prep Checklist Choose from 20 general prompts covering changes, medications, daily life, family sharing, and next steps. Add selected prompts directly to a visit note to reduce forgotten questions. Five prompts are free; Sobani Pro unlocks all 20. Medication Reminders Add medications with multiple daily times. Sobani sends gentle reminders so doses aren't missed. Track end dates for time-limited prescriptions. Vitals Log Record blood pressure, temperature, pulse, weight, plus daily appetite, sleep quality, and bowel status. A simple, comprehensive record you can flip back to any time. 7-Day Care Summary See recent visit, vitals, and diary activity on the home screen, with gentle prompts for what to record next. Caregiver's Diary Write a single sentence about today, attach a photo, and choose a mood (heavy, fair, warm, or glad). It's a gentle space for your own feelings, not just your parent's record. Parent Profile One page for your parent's name, age, conditions, primary doctor, and clinic contact — useful for sharing with a sibling, a care manager, or in an emergency. SOBANI PRO (one-time purchase) All 20 Visit Prep Prompts — Add useful question templates directly to your visit notes before an appointment. PDF Export — Export visits, vitals, diary entries, and photo-backed notes as a clean PDF to share with care managers or doctors. Sobani Pro is a one-time purchase. There are no subscriptions and no auto-renewal — buy it once and it's yours. WHO IT'S FOR - Adults whose elderly parent's care has just begun - Family members worried about missed medications - Siblings who want to share information - Anyone preparing notes for a doctor or care manager - Caregivers who want a space for their own daily feelings Today, you've done enough. ---- - Privacy Policy: https://starcrown.co.jp/privacy - Terms of Service: https://starcrown.co.jp/legal - Support: https://starcrown.co.jp/support - Contact: info@starcrown.co.jp
