The Clearwax App allows for advanced otoscopic and endoscopic imaging for the iPhone. It enables the user to adjust focus (including autofocus), exposure, ISO, colour temperature and magnification for optimal high-definition imagery. Since the optimal parameters may differ from one otoscope and endoscope to another, the user is able to create multiple custom scopes with default pre-set parameters for ease of use and transitioning between scopes. In addition, the user is also able to video record images, with an option of recording audio, as well as take still images. These are all stored in the advanced library set-up, which can be filtered in to videos, photos and also favourites. All images are time and date stamped, with the user being able to provide an individual ID name to a particular image. Videos can also be trimmed and shared, alongside photos, via many different mediums. Can be used with both non-medical and medical endoscopes. Medical otoscopes and endoscopes should be appropriately approved for their intended use in the end user marketplace. This app is not intended for personal medical use. If used in conjunction with a medical endoscope, the user should be appropriately qualified and trained. All users of this app should seek a doctors advice prior to making any medical decisions. The Clearwax app is compatible with any endoscope having a 32mm eyepiece. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

FND Tracker is a private symptom diary for people living with Functional Neurological Disorder, built for days when logging anything at all feels like too much. Open the app and see a today-at-a-glance screen with your overall symptom load and a rolling seven-day trend. No scrolling through menus, no setup required each morning. Logging is a calm, simple checklist. Twenty-three common FND symptoms are organised into five groups - movement and balance, episodes, thinking, speech and swallowing, sensory changes, and pain, energy and sleep - so you can find what you need even on a foggy day. Tick what you are experiencing and give each symptom its own score from 1 to 10, so a bad tremor and a mild headache never have to share one number. Your overall severity for the entry is simply your highest score. Log your vitals too. Record heart rate and blood pressure on their own, separate from your symptoms, so readings never add to your daily symptom load. They appear on your Today screen and day details, and can be included in your reports. Good days count too. If nothing is wrong, record a clear day, and it shows in your calendar and your exported reports, so a day with no symptoms never looks the same as a day you simply did not log. Hospital stays matter. Record an admission with its length, reason and severity, kept with the day it began. Missed work days are tracked separately with duration, reason and severity, all viewable in a month calendar you can switch between symptom and missed work views. Together this gives you a clear, dated record of how FND has affected your life and your ability to work. Keep doctor's letters where you can actually find them. Import PDFs from Files or photos of letters into a built-in viewer, so every appointment, diagnosis note and referral lives in one place alongside your symptom history. When it is time for a neurology appointment or a conversation with an employer, export a clinical, paginated PDF or CSV for any date range, with the sections you choose - including hospital stays and vitals. Turn weeks of lived experience into something clear, organised and easy for someone else to review. Everything is protected with optional Face ID, Touch ID or passcode lock that re-arms whenever the app goes to the background. There is no account to create, no server, and no analytics. Your records never leave your device unless you choose to export them. FND Tracker is a personal record-keeping tool. It does not diagnose, monitor or treat any condition, and it is not a substitute for medical care. It simply helps you keep an honest, private record of what you are living with, so you have something solid to bring to the people who need to understand it. Download FND Tracker and start building a record that reflects what your days are actually like.

Clearwax App's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
