Look after someone long enough and the same questions keep coming back: when was the last dose? Is the weight going up or down? Which vaccines are done? Care Record keeps those answers, and shows you the trend. ■ Track anyone you look after Pets, parents, kids, or yourself. Each one gets their own items and history. ■ Define the items yourself Weight, medication, vet visits and vaccinations are built in — or create your own. Fields can be numbers, text, multiple choice, dates or photos. Record whatever matters to you. ■ Two taps to log Hit Record right on the care recipient or the item. No need to switch to the calendar and pick everything again. ■ See the change Numeric items become line charts, count-based items become bar charts. Whether the weight keeps climbing, how many doses this month — one glance. ■ Reminders where they belong Set a reminder on the item itself. When it fires, tapping the notification takes you straight to logging. ■ Group them your way As the list grows, sort recipients and items into your own groups. All pages filter together. ■ No sign-up required Start straight away. Link Apple, Google or email later when you want to sync — your data comes with you.
