About

attensio

Read full description

attensio is a calm, beautiful journal for tracking your blood pressure at home — the kind your doctor asked you to keep. Pay once. No subscription. No account. Most BP apps feel like hospital software or a chore. attensio is built to be the opposite: a daily ritual you actually want to return to, so that consistency happens on its own. Because consistent data is what turns "I think I felt off a few weeks ago" into a real conversation backed by a real record. LOG IN SECONDS, WITH CONTEXT THAT MATTERS - A fast, satisfying reading entry — no clutter, no friction. - Add mood, sleep, activity, and meds-taken so a number becomes a story you can read later. - Set the personal target range your doctor gave you. attensio calibrates to you, not to a population average. SEE YOUR PATTERNS - A clean trends chart shows where you've been over the last two weeks. - Color is calibrated to keep you tracking — never an alarm, never a red emergency screen. SHOW UP READY FOR THE APPOINTMENT - Export a clear, professional PDF your doctor can read at a glance. - The report is designed for clinical hands, not to look like a consumer app. MEDICATIONS & GENTLE REMINDERS - Track your medications and set warm reminders to check in. - No streaks, no shame, no compliance scores. attensio tracks your data — not you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - All your health data stays on your device. No account, no server, no cloud sync of health data. - Nothing about you leaves your phone unless you choose to export it. attensio PRO (one-time $14.99, no subscription) Unlock the full doctor visit: complete chart history and layers, statistics and tag correlations, the full analytic doctor report, CSV export, unlimited medications and reminders, Apple Health write-back, and encrypted iCloud backup of your journal notes (encrypted with a key only you hold — attensio cannot read it). A one-time purchase. No subscription, no trials, no per-feature nickel-and-diming. attensio is a personal wellness journal, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or offer medical advice. Always talk to your doctor about your readings and your care.
