Your license is your livelihood. Protect it. One expired BLS card can cost you a shift. One missed license renewal can cost you far more. CerTracker keeps every credential you've earned in one secure wallet — and tells you what's expiring long before it becomes a problem. Free to download. Free to use. Built with nurses. ALL YOUR CREDENTIALS, ONE WALLET Licenses. BLS, ACLS, PALS, CPR, ENPC, TNCC. Degrees, transcripts, immunization records, competencies, CEU certificates. Everything in one encrypted place, organized automatically, on every device you own. No more scrolling through your camera roll at 6am looking for a photo of your card. MAGIC UPLOAD: SNAP IT, WE READ IT Photograph a certificate and CerTracker pulls the details out for you — credential type, issuing body, issue date, expiration date — and files it in the right place. No typing. No forms. Not ready to sort it? Save it as a draft and organize it later. Your wallet, your pace. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY REACH YOU Automatic alerts at 90, 60, 30 and 14 days before anything expires. Delivered by push, email, text or in-app — you choose which. Color-coded status shows you at a glance what's current, what's close, and what needs action today. You will not be surprised again. SHARE YOUR WHOLE PACKET IN ONE TAP New job. New agency. New facility. Annual audit. Instead of rebuilding the same folder of PDFs from scratch, send your credential packet to any employer in seconds — on your terms, with you deciding exactly what gets shared and with whom. If your facility uses CerTracker, your wallet syncs directly with them. No email attachments. No fax. No re-uploading the same license for the fourth time. UNLIMITED FREE CEUs, ANCC-ACCREDITED Hundreds of ANCC-accredited continuing education courses, free and unlimited. Finish a course and the certificate lands in your wallet automatically — already filed, already dated, already counted. No separate login. No hunting for the PDF six months later when someone asks for proof. BUILT FOR HOW HEALTHCARE ACTUALLY WORKS - HIPAA-compliant encryption on everything you store - Full offline access — your credentials work in a basement unit with no signal - Syncs across iPhone, iPad and Mac - Transfer your entire wallet to a new employer in seconds WHO USES CERTRACKER Registered nurses, LPNs and CNAs. Travel and per-diem clinicians juggling multiple states and agencies. Nurse practitioners, physicians and physician assistants. Respiratory, radiology and surgical techs. Physical, occupational and speech therapists. EMTs and paramedics. Nursing students building a portfolio from day one. Healthcare HR and compliance teams who'd rather stop chasing people over email. WHY CLINICIANS SWITCH Because the folder era is over. Because a credential you can't find is a credential you don't have. Because the ten minutes you spend assembling a packet for every new contract is ten minutes you'll never get back — and you'll do it again next month. CerTracker was built by a healthcare compliance company that does this for entire hospital systems. The wallet is the part we give to you, free, because compliance shouldn't start with you digging through your email. Named 2026 Best Nursing AI Tool. Download CerTracker. Upload one credential. See how it feels to stop worrying about it. Questions: support@certracker.com Privacy policy and terms: certracker.com

Point your camera at a CE certificate. Ledger does the rest. Ledger is the fastest, most private way for licensed professionals — nurses, NPs, physicians, PAs, therapists, teachers, CPAs, attorneys, EMS, and more — to keep every license, certification, and continuing-education credit current. SCAN IT. DONE. Snap a photo, pick from your library, or import PDFs. Apple Intelligence reads the title, provider, hours, completion date, and category — entirely on your device. Confidence scores flag anything worth a second look before you save. BULK IMPORT YOUR BACKLOG Select a pile of PDFs or photos and Ledger parses them while you browse. High-confidence certificates file themselves; the rest queue for a quick review. COMPLIANCE AT A GLANCE Fitness-style rings show exactly where each credential stands. One CE activity can count toward multiple licenses at once — log it once, it fills every ring it satisfies. Requirement templates prefill the rules for dozens of licenses (state RN/LPN, MD/DO CME, PA-C, NP recert, PT, pharmacist, CNA, EMS, CPA, attorney CLE, and more). REMINDERS THAT PACE YOU Not just deadline alarms. Ledger nudges you monthly when you're behind pace and stays quiet when you're on track. A context-aware dashboard headline tells you the one number that matters today. FITS YOUR BOARD'S RULES CE due on a different schedule than your license renewal? A topic with its own timeline, like suicide-prevention hours every 6 years? Ledger tracks each on its own clock. With Pro, your transcript saves to Files automatically when a CE period ends. AUDIT-READY IN ONE TAP Export a beautiful PDF transcript with your certificates embedded, or a CSV of everything. Verify licenses against official registries and stamp the date. YOUR INFORMATION STAYS PRIVATE No accounts. No servers. Your documents never leave your devices — scanning and AI run on-device, and optional sync uses your private iCloud. Ledger only sends anonymous usage counts (like "a credential was added") to help improve the app — never your name, your credentials, or your documents. Made for iPhone Duo and iPad: open it up and scan review goes side by side, certificate on one screen and details on the other. Plus: home and lock screen widgets, Siri shortcuts ("Log CE in Ledger"), light/dark themes, accent colors, and full Dynamic Type support. LEDGER PRO — Free includes 2 credentials and 20 CE records. Pro unlocks unlimited credentials and records, audit-ready PDF/CSV export, and custom reminder cadences: $3.99/month, $24.99/year (7-day free trial), or $69.99 once, forever. Requirement templates are starting points from published board rules — always verify with your board.
